[PATCH v3 2/2] tpm_emulator: Read control channel response in 2 passes
Posted by Stefan Berger 6 days, 7 hours ago
Error responses from swtpm are typically only 4 bytes long with the
exception of a few commands that return more bytes. Therefore, read the
entire response in 2 passes and stop if the first few 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. The 'getting stuck' condition has not been observed in practice so
far, though.

Using qemu_chr_fe_read_all in a loop feels like an anti-pattern, since
it will always read exactly the full amount you ask, or return an error.

IOW, there code here is a rather confusing way to do exactly 2 reads
of the required size.  I think it'd be much clearer to just read in
two steps, without a loop like this:

  n = qemu_chr_fe_read_all(dev, (uint8_t *)msg, msg_len_out_err);
  if (n != msg_len_out_err) {
    return -1;
  }
 
  /* result error code is always in the first 4 bytes */
  memcpy(&res, msg, sizeof(res));
  if (res) {
     return 0;
  }

  assert(msg_len_out_err <= msg_len_out_total);
  msg_len_out_total -= msg_len_out_err;
  n = qemu_chr_fe_read_all(dev, (uint8_t *)msg + msg_len_out_err,
                           msg_len_out_total);
  if (n != msg_len_out_total) {
    return -1;
  }

  return 0;

Daniel
