Hi James, Can you pass these patches on to Linus please? The first one fixes the handling of maximum buffer size for key descriptions, fixing the size at 4095 + NUL char rather than whatever PAGE_SIZE happens to be and permits you to read back the full description without it getting clipped because some extra information got prepended. The second and third fix a bug in NFS idmapper handling whereby a key representing a mapping between an id and a name expires and causing EKEYEXPIRED to be seen internally in NFS (which prevents the mapping from happening) rather than re-looking up the mapping. Thanks, David --- The following changes since commit a6aacbde406eeb6f8fc218b2c6172825f5e73fcf: Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/linux-integrity into next (2014-11-19 21:36:07 +1100) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git tags/keys-fixes-20141121 for you to fetch changes up to 15761d91a57e3ff8032e31c5d82bf7836f6a1b20: KEYS: request_key() should reget expired keys rather than give EKEYEXPIRED (2014-11-20 13:38:17 +0000) ---------------------------------------------------------------- (from the branch description for keys-fixes local branch) Keyrings fixes Keyrings fixes ---------------------------------------------------------------- David Howells (3): KEYS: Fix the size of the key description passed to/from userspace KEYS: Simplify KEYRING_SEARCH_{NO,DO}_STATE_CHECK flags KEYS: request_key() should reget expired keys rather than give EKEYEXPIRED security/keys/internal.h | 1 + security/keys/keyctl.c | 56 +++++++++++++++++++--------------------- security/keys/keyring.c | 10 ++++--- security/keys/request_key.c | 2 ++ security/keys/request_key_auth.c | 1 + 5 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 34 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
