David: Do you know if making frequent calls to dns_query can possibly prevent expired keys from being cleaned up?
The problem is that the key is being created with a permanent TTL: 2135708b I------ 1 perm 1f030000 0 0 keyring .dns_resolver: 2 But answering your question, if a request to the same key is done before it expires, yes, it will extend its TTL. But, again, in the current case, cifs is only doing unnecessary upcalls every 5s, while also possibly getting outdated cached records. I sent my patch to fix this as RFC to David, but he probably missed. I'll re-submit it to a public ML with him on CC. Cheers, Enzo
