Hey come on, you knew I was running plumbers last week so I had all the lead up and teardown stuff to do as well. I'm only just digging through accumulated email. Patches 1-2 are fully irrelevant to the bug, so I ignored them on the grounds that improvement to the error flow could be done through the normal patch process Patch 3 is completely unnecessary: the null key is only used to salt the session and is not required to be resident while the session is used (so can be flushed after session creation) therefore keeping it around serves no purpose once the session is created and simply clutters up the TPM volatile handle slots. (I don't know of a case where we use all the slots in a kernel operation, but since we don't need it lets not find out when we get one). So I advise dropping patch 3. I've reviewed 4 and 5.
