Subject: [PATCH] tpm: Use -EPERM as fallback error code in tpm_ret_to_err
Date: Mon, 22 Sep 2025 10:23:32 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250922072332.2649135-1-jarkko@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko.sakkinen@opinsys.com>
Using -EFAULT here was not the best idea for tpm_ret_to_err as the fallback
error code as it is no concise with trusted keys.
Change the fallback as -EPERM, process TPM_RC_HASH also in tpm_ret_to_err,
and by these changes make the helper applicable for trusted keys.
Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v6.15+
Fixes: 539fbab37881 ("tpm: Mask TPM RC in tpm2_start_auth_session()")
