[PATCH v6 5/5] tpm: flush the auth session only when /dev/tpm0 is open

From: Jarkko Sakkinen
Date: Tue Oct 15 2024 - 16:59:50 EST


Instead of flushing and reloading the auth session for every single
transaction, keep the session open unless /dev/tpm0 is used. In practice
this means applying TPM2_SA_CONTINUE_SESSION to the session attributes.
Flush the session always when /dev/tpm0 is written.

v5:
- No changes.
v4:
- Changed as bug.
v3:
- Refined the commit message.
- Removed the conditional for applying TPM2_SA_CONTINUE_SESSION only when
/dev/tpm0 is open. It is not required as the auth session is flushed,
not saved.
v2:
- A new patch.
