    KEYS: Only apply KEY_FLAG_KEEP to a key if a parent keyring has it set · eee04502
    David Howells authored
    KEY_FLAG_KEEP should only be applied to a key if the keyring it is being
    linked into has KEY_FLAG_KEEP set.
    
    To this end, partially revert the following patch:
    
    	commit 1d6d167c
    	Author: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
    	Date:   Thu Jan 7 07:46:36 2016 -0500
    	KEYS: refcount bug fix
    
    to undo the change that made it unconditional (Mimi got it right the first
    time).
    
    Without undoing this change, it becomes impossible to delete, revoke or
    invalidate keys added to keyrings through __key_instantiate_and_link()
    where the keyring has itself been linked to.  To test this, run the
    following command sequence:
    
        keyctl newring foo @s
        keyctl add user a a %:foo
        keyctl unlink %user:a %:foo
        keyctl clear %:foo
    
    With the commit mentioned above the third and fourth commands fail with
    EPERM when they should succeed.
