Right, it should be KEYS/KEYRINGS_INTEGRITY related, I made mistaken.
Now it got two ACKs from Michal and me. Michal met the same issue on
arm64 and posted another series of patches, finally Coiby integrated
Michal's patch and his to make this patchset. That would be great if
this can get reviewing from experts on key/keyring. Surely, Coiby need
update the patch log to add the '.machine' keyring into patch logs as
you pointed out.
IIRC, Coiby has tested it on x86_64/arm64, not sure if he took test on
s390. No, this hasn't been in linux-next.
