This patch implements a proxy driver for supporting multiple emulated 

TPMs

in a system.

The driver implements a device /dev/vtpmx that is used to created
a client device pair /dev/tpmX (e.g., /dev/tpm10) and a server side 

that

is accessed using a file descriptor returned by an ioctl.
The device /dev/tpmX is the usual TPM device created by the core TPM
driver. Applications or kernel subsystems can send TPM commands to it
and the corresponding server-side file descriptor receives these
commands and delivers them to an emulated TPM.

With my test script [1] running on QEMU and TPM 2.0 simulator running on 

the

host side I get this:

$ python tpm2-simulator-vtpm --host=10.0.2.2
cmd
80 01 00 00 00 0c 00 00 01 44 00 00
rsp
80 01 00 00 00 0a 00 00 00 00
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tpm2-simulator-vtpm", line 85, in <module>
    main()
  File "tpm2-simulator-vtpm", line 80, in main
    resp = client.send_cmd(stream)
  File "/home/tpmdd/tpm2-scripts/tpm2.py", line 454, in send_cmd
    rsp = self.simulator.send_cmd(cmd)
  File "/home/tpmdd/tpm2-scripts/tpm2.py", line 436, in send_cmd
    raise SimulatorError("Empty response")
tpm2.SimulatorError: Empty response

However, the process does not exit before the read call expires:

$ python tpm2-list-handles
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tpm2-list-handles", line 61, in <module>
    main()
  File "tpm2-list-handles", line 51, in main
    handles += client.get_cap(tpm2.TPM2_CAP_HANDLES, 

tpm2.HR_LOADED_SESSION)

  File "/home/tpmdd/tpm2-scripts/tpm2.py", line 782, in get_cap
    next_handles, more_data = self.__get_cap_cnt(cap, pt, 1)
  File "/home/tpmdd/tpm2-scripts/tpm2.py", line 766, in __get_cap_cnt
    rsp = self.send_cmd(cmd)[10:]
  File "/home/tpmdd/tpm2-scripts/tpm2.py", line 458, in send_cmd
    rsp = f.read()
IOError: [Errno 62] Timer expired

The server side stays stuck unti this happens.

This fix should solve the problem:

Can you let me know whether this gets it working for you? I'd prepare a 
v9.
