building with gcc 4.6 I'm getting a warning message:
CC security/keys/keyctl.o
security/keys/keyctl.c: In function 'keyctl_describe_key':
security/keys/keyctl.c:472:14: warning: variable 'key' set but not used
After reading key.h I noticed it says this:
NOTE! key_ref_t is a typedef'd pointer to a type that is not actually
defined. This is because we abuse the bottom bit of the reference to carry a
flag to indicate whether the calling process possesses that key in one of
its keyrings.
In this case the safest approach(in my mind) would be to just
mark the integer __unused. Keep in mind though Im not certain
if this is the right place for this value i.e. will this effect
*instkey or not(please check).
