keyctl_session_to_parent() involves posting task work to the parent task,
with work function key_change_session_keyring.
Because the task work in the parent runs asynchronously, no errors can be
returned back to the caller of keyctl_session_to_parent(), and therefore
the work function key_change_session_keyring() can't be allowed to fail due
to things like memory allocation failure or permission checks - all
allocations and checks have to happen in the child.
This is annoying for two reasons:
- It is the only reason why cred_alloc_blank() and
security_transfer_creds() are necessary.
- It means we can't do synchronous permission checks.
Rewrite keyctl_session_to_parent() to run task work on the parent
synchronously, so that any errors that happen in the task work can be
plumbed back into the syscall return value in the child.
This allows us to get rid of cred_alloc_blank() and
security_transfer_creds() in a later commit, and it will make it possible
to write more reliable security checks for this operation.
Note that this requires using TWA_SIGNAL instead of TWA_RESUME, so the
parent might observe some spurious -EAGAIN syscall returns or such; but the
parent likely anyway has to be ready to deal with the side effects of
receiving signals (since it'll probably get SIGCHLD when the child dies),
so that probably isn't an issue.
