From a2d8737d5c781d388b553dd085b56d7295fffc6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers Date: Fri, 8 Dec 2017 15:13:27 +0000 Subject: KEYS: remove unnecessary get/put of explicit dest_keyring In request_key_and_link(), in the case where the dest_keyring was explicitly specified, there is no need to get another reference to dest_keyring before calling key_link(), then drop it afterwards. This is because by definition, we already have a reference to dest_keyring. This change is useful because we'll be making construct_get_dest_keyring() able to return an error code, and we don't want to have to handle that error here for no reason.
