Subject: [PATCH 2/2] tpm_emulator: Read control channel response in 2 passes
Date: Fri, 11 Oct 2024 18:35:56 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20241011223556.2953808-3-stefanb@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20241011223556.2953808-1-stefanb@linux.ibm.com>

Error responses from swtpm are always only 4 bytes long. Therefore, read
the entire response in 2 passes and stop if the first 4 bytes indicate an
error response with no subsequent bytes readable. Read the rest in a 2nd
pass, if needed. This avoids getting stuck while waiting for too many bytes
if only 4 bytes were sent due to an error message. The 'getting stuck'
condition has not been observed in practice so far, though.
