I think the way I'm going to fix the trusted key policy problem is to move it back into the kernel for the simple PCR lock policy (which will make changing from 1.2 to 2.0 seamless because the external Key API will then become the same) so the kernel gets the missing TPM nonce and can then do TPM2_PolicyAuthValue. User generated policy sessions for trusted keys are very flexible but also a hugely bad idea for consumers because it's so different from the way 1.2 works and it means now the user has to exercise a TPM API to produce the policy sessions. Longer term, I think having a particular trusted key represent a policy session which can then be attached to a different trusted key representing the blob is the best idea because we can expose the policy build up via the trusted key API and keep all the TPM nastiness inside the kernel. > 2.

You can do what we do in SCSI and create a "postmerge" branch based on the cryptodev one (we often have SCSI stuff with block tree precursors). The way I run it is that I don't send the merge window pull request until I see the merge-base against Linus master move to the base of the patches (meaning all the precursors are upstream). > /Jarkko >
