Do not continue on tpm2_create_primary() failure in tpm2_load_null().

Previously the log message incorrectly stated on load failure that integrity check had been failed, even tho the check is done *after* the load operation. v2: - Refined the commit message. - Reverted tpm2_create_primary() changes. They are not required if tmp_null_key is used as the parameter. --- drivers/char/tpm/tpm2-sessions.c | 44 +++++++++++++++++--------------- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 20 deletions(-)

Which part of "not properly handling a return value" I should explain?

Sorry, where is your quote from?
Anyway, maybe explaining why a successful call to tpm2_create_primary() is needed to continue would at least help me.

It's not a void function.

From a security point of view, this probably isn't such a good idea: the reason the context load failed above is likely the security condition we're checking for: the null seed changed because an interposer did a reset. That means that if the interposer knows about this error leg, it would simply error out the create primary here and the TPM wouldn't be disabled.

James

If you think there is something that should be still addressed, or there is overlooked issue please do send a patch, and we will review that. There's been plenty of time to comment on patches.
Neither in previous TPM_CHIP_FLAG_DISABLED was set tpm2_load_context() failed. It went like this:
rc = tpm2_load_context(chip, chip->null_key_context, &offset, null_key); if (rc != -EINVAL) return rc;
If you think that this should be addressed, do send a patch but point out the fixes-tag to your original patch then.

Also want to denotat that I specifically did not set flag because I thought you had good reasons not to disable TPM. So it was left like that knowingly, definitely not by ignorance. Good that it became now apparent and I'm happy to take a fix in (with correct fixes tag).
