Subject: keys: allow clients to set key perms in key_create_or_update()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc1~504
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6b79ccb5144f9ffb4d4596c23e7570238dd12abc;p=linux-2.6

keys: allow clients to set key perms in key_create_or_update()

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.
