This type of key cannot be\n created by the user; nor can it be requested by kernel services.\n\n Authorisation keys hold two references:\n\n (a) Each refers to a key being constructed. When the key being\n \t constructed is instantiated the authorisation key is revoked,\n \t rendering it of no further use.\n\n (b) The \"authorising process\". This is either:\n\n \t (i) the process that called request_key(), or:\n\n \t (ii) if the process that called request_key() itself had an\n \t authorisation key in its session keyring, then the authorising\n \t process referred to by that authorisation key will also be\n \t referred to by the new authorisation key.\n\n\t This means that the process that initiated a chain of key requests\n\t will authorise the lot of them, and will, by default, wind up with\n\t the keys obtained from them in its keyrings.\n\n (2) request_key() creates an authorisation key which is then passed to\n /sbin/request-key in as part of a new session keyring.\n\n (3) When request_key() is searching for a key to hand back to the caller, if\n it comes across an authorisation key in the session keyring of the\n calling process, it will also search the keyrings of the process\n specified therein and it will use the specified process\u0027s credentials\n (fsuid, fsgid, groups) to do that rather than the calling process\u0027s\n credentials.\n\n This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to find keys belonging\n to the authorising process.\n\n (4) A key can be read, even if the process executing KEYCTL_READ doesn\u0027t have\n direct read or search permission if that key is contained within the\n keyrings of a process specified by an authorisation key found within the\n calling process\u0027s session keyring, and is searchable using the\n credentials of the authorising process.\n\n This allows a process started by /sbin/request-key to read keys belonging\n to the authorising process.\n\n (5) The magic KEY_SPEC_*_KEYRING key IDs when passed to KEYCTL_INSTANTIATE or\n KEYCTL_NEGATE will specify a keyring of the authorising process, rather\n than the process doing the instantiation.\n\n (6) One of the process keyrings can be nominated as the default to which\n request_key() should attach new keys if not otherwise specified. This is\n done with KEYCTL_SET_REQKEY_KEYRING and one of the KEY_REQKEY_DEFL_*\n constants. The current setting can also be read using this call.\n\n (7) request_key() is partially interruptible. If it is waiting for another\n process to finish constructing a key, it can be interrupted. This permits\n a request-key cycle to be broken without recourse to rebooting.\n\nSigned-Off-By: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-Off-By: Benoit Boissinot \u003cbenoit.boissinot@ens-lyon.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "76d8aeabfeb1c42641a81c44280177b9a08670d8", "tree": "0a584439bb44e440717aa77a1398ba9eea24a137", "parents": [ "7286aa9b9ab35f20b1ff16d867f4535701df99b5" ], "author": { "name": "David Howells", "email": "dhowells@redhat.com", "time": "Thu Jun 23 22:00:49 2005 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@ppc970.osdl.org", "time": "Fri Jun 24 00:05:18 2005 -0700" }, "message": "[PATCH] keys: Discard key spinlock and use RCU for key payload\n\nThe attached patch changes the key implementation in a number of ways:\n\n (1) It removes the spinlock from the key structure.\n\n (2) The key flags are now accessed using atomic bitops instead of\n write-locking the key spinlock and using C bitwise operators.\n\n The three instantiation flags are dealt with with the construction\n semaphore held during the request_key/instantiate/negate sequence, thus\n rendering the spinlock superfluous.\n\n The key flags are also now bit numbers not bit masks.\n\n (3) The key payload is now accessed using RCU. This permits the recursive\n keyring search algorithm to be simplified greatly since no locks need be\n taken other than the usual RCU preemption disablement. Searching now does\n not require any locks or semaphores to be held; merely that the starting\n keyring be pinned.\n\n (4) The keyring payload now includes an RCU head so that it can be disposed\n of by call_rcu(). This requires that the payload be copied on unlink to\n prevent introducing races in copy-down vs search-up.\n\n (5) The user key payload is now a structure with the data following it.
