[PATCH 11/15] KEYS: Fix race between updating and finding a negative key
David Howells
dhowells at redhat.com
Thu Oct 12 20:17:18 UTC 2017
Consolidate KEY_FLAG_INSTANTIATED, KEY_FLAG_NEGATIVE and the rejection
error into one field such that:
(1) The instantiation state can be modified/read atomically.
(2) The error can be accessed atomically with the state.
(3) The error isn't stored unioned with the payload pointers.
Possibly the revocation flags can also be combined with this also.
Fixes: 146aa8b1453b ("KEYS: Merge the type-specific data with the payload data")
