    KEYS: prevent keys from being removed from specified keyrings · d3600bcf
    Mimi Zohar authored
    Userspace should not be allowed to remove keys from certain keyrings
    (eg. blacklist), though the keys themselves can expire.
    
    This patch defines a new key flag named KEY_FLAG_KEEP to prevent
    userspace from being able to unlink, revoke, invalidate or timed
    out a key on a keyring.  When this flag is set on the keyring, all
    keys subsequently added are flagged.
    
    In addition, when this flag is set, the keyring itself can not be
    cleared.
