Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/4] KEYS: sanitize the garbage collector behavior
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 14:15:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261102121518.1197453-1-jarkko@kernel.org> (raw)
1. Remove key_type_dead and replace it with the regular module semantics.
2. Replace variable size workqueue items with fixed-size 64 key chunks.
The first change has user space visible effect: rmmod semantics will change
from always succeeding into returning -EBUSY when keys or restrictions have
the LKM pinned.
Jarkko Sakkinen (4):
KEYS: trusted: Disable sysfs bind attributes for TEE driver
KEYS: Pin the backing module for struct key_type
KEYS: Remove key_type_dead
KEYS: key_garbage_collector(): process in chunks
