The C_OpenSession function can return several error codes, as seen in the open-source implementation of pkcs11_api in the OP-TEE client repository: OP-TEE optee_client - pkcs11_api.c#L278

Some of these errors include:

  • CKR_CRYPTOKI_NOT_INITIALIZED
  • CKR_DEVICE_ERROR
  • CKR_DEVICE_MEMORY
  • CKR_DEVICE_REMOVED
  • CKR_FUNCTION_FAILED
  • CKR_GENERAL_ERROR
  • CKR_HOST_MEMORY
  • CKR_SESSION_COUNT
  • CKR_SESSION_PARALLEL_NOT_SUPPORTED
  • CKR_SESSION_READ_WRITE_SO_EXISTS
  • CKR_SLOT_ID_INVALID
  • CKR_TOKEN_NOT_PRESENT
  • CKR_TOKEN_NOT_RECOGNIZED
  • CKR_TOKEN_WRITE_PROTECTED
  • CKR_ARGUMENTS_BAD

If any of these errors occur, the function currently does not return, causing it to be stuck at pthread_cond_wait, leading to a freeze in the caller process that uses the libp11 API.

This commit ensures that when these errors are encountered, the function properly returns, preventing potential deadlocks.
