Subject: [patch 4/5] Apply the PG_sensitive flag to the AF_KEY implementation
Date: Wed, 20 May 2009 11:52:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090520185236.GD10756@oblivion.subreption.com> (raw)
This patch deploys the use of the PG_sensitive page allocator flag
within the AF_KEY implementation.
Since AF_KEY's main purpose is credential management for network
stacks, it is desirable to mark the memory used to store such data
as sensitive and assure sanitization upon release.
