* KEYS: Add payload preparsing opportunity prior to key instantiate or updateDavid Howells2012-10-081-2/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Give the key type the opportunity to preparse the payload prior to the instantiation and update routines being called. This is done with the provision of two new key type operations: int (*preparse)(struct key_preparsed_payload *prep); void (*free_preparse)(struct key_preparsed_payload *prep); If the first operation is present, then it is called before key creation (in the add/update case) or before the key semaphore is taken (in the update and instantiate cases). The second operation is called to clean up if the first was called. preparse() is given the opportunity to fill in the following structure: struct key_preparsed_payload { char *description; void *type_data[2]; void *payload; const void *data; size_t datalen; size_t quotalen; }; Before the preparser is called, the first three fields will have been cleared, the payload pointer and size will be stored in data and datalen and the default quota size from the key_type struct will be stored into quotalen. The preparser may parse the payload in any way it likes and may store data in the type_data[] and payload fields for use by the instantiate() and update() ops. The preparser may also propose a description for the key by attaching it as a string to the description field. This can be used by passing a NULL or "" description to the add_key() system call or the key_create_or_update() function. This cannot work with request_key() as that required the description to tell the upcall about the key to be created. This, for example permits keys that store PGP public keys to generate their own name from the user ID and public key fingerprint in the key. The instantiate() and update() operations are then modified to look like this: int (*instantiate)(struct key *key, struct key_preparsed_payload *prep); int (*update)(struct key *key, struct key_preparsed_payload *prep); and the new payload data is passed in *prep, whether or not it was preparsed.

* KEYS: linux/key-type.h needs linux/errno.hDavid Howells2012-07-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | linux/key-type.h needs to #include linux/errno.h as it refers to ENOKEY. Without this, with sparc's allmodconfig in one of my test trees, the following error occurs: include/linux/key-type.h: In function 'key_negate_and_link': include/linux/key-type.h:122:43: error: 'ENOKEY' undeclared (first use in this function) include/linux/key-type.h:122:43: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each fun Reported-by: Fengguang Wu <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <james.l.morris@oracle.com>

* KEYS: Add a new keyctl op to reject a key with a specified error codeDavid Howells2011-03-081-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new keyctl op to reject a key with a specified error code. This works much the same as negating a key, and so keyctl_negate_key() is made a special case of keyctl_reject_key(). The difference is that keyctl_negate_key() selects ENOKEY as the error to be reported. Typically the key would be rejected with EKEYEXPIRED, EKEYREVOKED or EKEYREJECTED, but this is not mandatory.

* KEYS: Add a key type op to permit the key description to be vettedDavid Howells2011-03-081-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Add a key type operation to permit the key type to vet the description of a new key that key_alloc() is about to allocate. The operation may reject the description if it wishes with an error of its choosing. If it does this, the key will not be allocated.

* KEYS: Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronousDavid Howells2007-10-171-0/+112
Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous to make it easier for NFS to make use of them. There are now accessor functions that do asynchronous constructions, a wait function to wait for construction to complete, and a completion function for the key type to indicate completion of construction. Note that the construction queue is now gone. Instead, keys under construction are linked in to the appropriate keyring in advance, and that anyone encountering one must wait for it to be complete before they can use it. This is done automatically for userspace. The following auxiliary changes are also made: (1) Key type implementation stuff is split from linux/key.h into linux/key-type.h. (2) AF_RXRPC provides a way to allocate null rxrpc-type keys so that AFS does not need to call key_instantiate_and_link() directly. (3) Adjust the debugging macros so that they're -Wformat checked even if they are disabled, and make it so they can be enabled simply by defining __KDEBUG to be consistent with other code of mine.
