Subject: [PATCH] implement in-kernel keys & keyring management [try #5]
Date: Tue, 10 Aug 2004 18:59:58 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <5788.1092160798@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <16109.1092044758@redhat.com>
I've modified my patch to avoid a locking error that Al Viro pointed out. If
you have two keyrings A and B, if one process tries to link A to B, whilst in
parallel another process tries to link B to A, it could end up creating a
cycle in the graph. I've added code to serialise link calls with respect to
one another to obviate that problem.
It can be found at:

David.
