Hello,
The key_create_or_update() function provided by the keyring code has a
default set of permissions that are always applied to the key when
created. This might not be desirable to all clients.

Here's a patch that adds a "perm" parameter to the function to address
this, which can be set to KEY_PERM_UNDEF to revert to the current behaviour.

Cheers,
Arun
