  To: torvalds, akpm; +Cc: keyrings, linux-kernel


The attached patch permits add_key() to once again update a matching key
rather than adding a new one if a matching key already exists in the target
keyring.

This bug causes add_key() to always add a new key, displacing the old from the
target keyring.
