Do bind neither static calls nor trusted_key_exit() before a successful
init, in order to maintain a consistent state. In addition, depart the
init_trusted() in the case of a real error (i.e. getting back something
else than -ENODEV).

As mentioned in the other thread, we should allow other trust sources
to be initialized if the primary one fails.

I sent the patch before I received that response but here's what you
wrote:

"We should give other trust sources a chance to register for trusted
keys if the primary one fails."

1. This condition is lacking an inline comment.
2. Neither this response or the one that you pointed out has any
   explanation why for any system failure the process should
   continue.

You should really know the situations (e.g. list of posix error
code) when the process can continue and "allow list" those. This
way way too abstract. It cannot be let all possible system failures
pass.

Can you e.g. explain a legit use case when something else is
returned than -ENODEV but it is cool and we can continue in 
some real world use case?

And it would nice if it printed out something for legit cases. Like
"no device found" etc. And for rest it must really withdraw the whole
process.

IMO, it would be quite tricky to come up with an allow list. Can we
keep "EACCES", "EPERM", "ENOTSUPP" etc in that allow list? I think
these are all debatable.

The original intention to iterate through the trust source list was to
allow a single Linux kernel binary to support platforms with varying
trust sources (one or choose one from multiple) available. IMO, any
restriction on the basis of error codes here since we can't predict
them correctly may forfeit this intended use-case.

Yes, that does sounds reasonable.

About the debate. Well, it is better eagerly block and tree falls down
somewhere we can consider extending the list through a fix.

This all wide open is worse than a few glitches somewhere, which are
trivial to fix.

Fair enough, I would suggest we document it appropriately such that it
is clear to the users or somebody looking at the code.

I went throught the backends on how they implement init:

1. Returns -ENODEV when it does not exist.
2. Calls driver_register(). Something is wrong enough if that
   fails to rollback the whole procedure.
3. TPM: -ENODEV

Therefore, I would keep in the existing patch since there is no weird
uapi visible legacy behavior to support in the first place. And for
that reason there is no good reason to have all those four POSIX rc's
in the list.

Okay I can live with this patch as long as it doesn't break the
intended use-case.

Well this sort of policy has been already existing for some time:

	/*
	 * encrypted_keys.ko depends on successful load of this module even if
	 * trusted key implementation is not found.
	 */
	if (ret == -ENODEV)
		return 0;

If we would need a list of error codes, then this is also incorrect
implementation because the error codes that you listed should be
also success cases.

The dead obvious constraint here is that whatever error codes are
processed they need to be exact same anyway right?

If things fall apart you should really not continue. This is IMHO
categorizes as a critical bug, not just debatable aspect on how
subsystems are engineered. I.e.I do not consider this as any sort
of API discussion per se.
