The It fixes the issues of which symptoms was shown by your transcript: [ 2.987131] tpm tpm0: tpm2_load_context: failed with a TPM error 0x01C4 [ 2.987140] ima: Error Communicating to TPM chip, result: -14 Your original thread identified zero problems, so thus your claim here is plain untrue. Before the null derefence is fixed all other patches related are blocked, including ibm_tpmvtpm patches, because it would be insane to accept them when there is known memory corruption bug, which this patch set fixes.

None of the previous patches, including your, do nothing to fix the null derefence bug and that is the *only* bug we care about ATM. With these fixes drivers that do not call tpm_chip_bootstrap() will be fully working still but without encryption. There's five drivers which would require update for that: drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ftpm_tee.c: pvt_data->chip->flags |= TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2; drivers/char/tpm/tpm_i2c_nuvoton.c: chip->flags |= TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2; drivers/char/tpm/tpm_ibmvtpm.c: chip->flags |= TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2; drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis_i2c_cr50.c: chip->flags |= TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2; drivers/char/tpm/tpm_vtpm_proxy.c: proxy_dev->chip->flags |= TPM_CHIP_FLAG_TPM2; BR, Jarkko
