• 6d4561110   sysctl: Drop & in front of every proc_handler. ... Browse Code »

  For consistency drop & in front of every proc_handler. Explicity
  taking the address is unnecessary and it prevents optimizations
  like stubbing the proc_handlers to NULL.

• 5cdb35557   sysctl security/keys: Remove dead binary sysctl support ... Browse Code »

  Now that sys_sysctl is a generic wrapper around /proc/sys .ctl_name
  and .strategy members of sysctl tables are dead code. Remove them.

• 5d135440f   KEYS: Add garbage collection for dead, revoked and expired keys. [try #6] ... Browse Code »

  Add garbage collection for dead, revoked and expired keys. This involved
  erasing all links to such keys from keyrings that point to them. At that
  point, the key will be deleted in the normal manner.

  Keyrings from which garbage collection occurs are shrunk and their quota
  consumption reduced as appropriate.

  Dead keys (for which the key type has been removed) will be garbage collected
  immediately.

  Revoked and expired keys will hang around for a number of seconds, as set in
  /proc/sys/kernel/keys/gc_delay before being automatically removed. The default
  is 5 minutes.

  Make the keyring quotas controllable through /proc/sys files:

  (*) /proc/sys/kernel/keys/root_maxkeys
  /proc/sys/kernel/keys/root_maxbytes

  Maximum number of keys that root may have and the maximum total number of
  bytes of data that root may have stored in those keys.

  (*) /proc/sys/kernel/keys/maxkeys
  /proc/sys/kernel/keys/maxbytes

  Maximum number of keys that each non-root user may have and the maximum
  total number of bytes of data that each of those users may have stored in
  their keys.

  Also increase the quotas as a number of people have been complaining that it's
  not big enough. I'm not sure that it's big enough now either, but on the
  other hand, it can now be set in /etc/sysctl.conf.
