* KEYS: Fix error handling in big_key instantiationDavid Howells2013-11-131-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the big_key_instantiate() function we return 0 if kernel_write() returns us an error rather than returning an error. This can potentially lead to dentry_open() giving a BUG when called from big_key_read() with an unset tmpfile path. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/open.c:798! ...

* KEYS: Implement a big key type that can save to tmpfsDavid Howells2013-09-241-0/+204
Implement a big key type that can save its contents to tmpfs and thus swapspace when memory is tight. This is useful for Kerberos ticket caches. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Tested-by: Simo Sorce <simo@redhat.com>
