Subject: [RFC PATCH v2 00/11] KEYS: Sanitize the garbage collector
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 05:02:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103030226.2685251-1-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.
CHANGES
=======
v2:
- Used v1 as a test probe for Sashiko to detect the corner cases instead of
trying to resolve even the known ones beforehand.
- Converted the client subsystems to be compatible with the module pinning
semantics.
VERSIONS
========
Jarkko Sakkinen (11):
KEYS: Add key_gc_flush() for draining RCU callbacks
nvme-keyring: Add a missing key_put() call to nvme_tls_key_lookup()
dns_resolver: Clear .dns_resolver cache when the last client unloads
NFSv4: Clear idmap keyring cache when the last client unloads
smb: client: Clear idmap/SPNEGO caches when the last session is
unloaded
s390/cert_store: Track subsystem keys instead of re-registering
key_type
KEYS: trusted: TEE: Disable sysfs bind attributes
KEYS: trusted: TEE: Synchronize session lifetime
KEYS: Pin the backing kernel module for a key type
KEYS: Remove key_type_dead
KEYS: key_garbage_collector(): process in chunks
