Subject: Re: [PATCH 3/6] KEYS: Flag dead keys to induce EKEYREVOKED
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2009 13:22:54 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090804182254.GB8442@us.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090804145541.17676.99745.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk>

Quoting David Howells (dhowells@redhat.com):
> Set the KEY_FLAG_DEAD flag on keys for which the type has been removed.  This
> causes the key_permission() function to return EKEYREVOKED in response to
> various commands.  It does not, however, prevent unlinking or clearing of
> keyrings from detaching the key.
