I'm wondering if you ever need more than two sessions at once? If we
would limit the number of sessions to that you could probably simplify a
lot.

Why the extra parameter?

For transient objects the rollback is straight forward and totally
predictable. Given that with sessions you always keep some information
in the TPM the rollback would be a bit more complicated.

Now your code seems to just keep the previous session_buf, doesn't it?
Does that always work or not?

PS. I have a high-level idea of attack vectors that are prevented by
having meta-data for session inside the TPM but can you point me to
the correct place in the TPM 2.0 specification that discusses about
this?
