From: David Disseldorp <ddiss@xxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 03e1d60e177eedbd302b77af4ea5e21b5a7ade31 ] The watch_queue_set_size() allocation error paths return the ret value set via the prior pipe_resize_ring() call, which will always be zero. As a result, IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE callers such as "keyctl watch" fail to detect kernel wqueue->notes allocation failures and proceed to KEYCTL_WATCH_KEY, with any notifications subsequently lost.
