Re: [tpmdd-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] tpm2: add session handle context saving and restoring to the space code

From: Jarkko Sakkinen
Date: Tue Jan 31 2017 - 11:21:41 EST


Now that I understand what is happening I'll give some code level
feedback. Overally I think this is in really good shape!

Move the declaration here so that you don't have to jump back and forth
in the code in order to understand what is happening.

Maybe a comment here would make sense (for maitenance purposes) as it
isn't inherently obvious why and when these error codes are used.

I think using dev_err is not correct here as this is a legit situation.
I would lower this down to dev_dbg.

Please use this in tpm2_flush_space() and take the mutex in those call
sites where you need it.

I forgot to ask about this corner case. When can it happen?

Extremely cosmetic comment but I prefer one line per declaration.
