It seems that key_invalidate is only available in quite recent

Anyone know if there is a relatively simple way to implement
the same behaviour using older keyutils packages?
CC-ing the keyutils maintainer... David, when did that kernel
change go in that cause keyctl_revoke() to no longer work?

The nfs-utils commit is:

commit 2ae0763a618d30037ebb2520f6292f80d838a440

     nfsidmap: Keys need to be invalidated instead of revoked

It sound like we need to do some type of #ifdef kernel version....

We might need an #ifdef based on keyutils version (which is what I implemented
to at least get it compiling), but if you need to key on kernel version then
you need run-time probing of the kernel as build system may run different
kernel than installed system.

Thanks,

The reason I ask is that I recently updated to latest nfs-utils
package and how build fails on many of my older systems...

Thanks,
Ben
