Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: Make request key instantiate the per-user keyrings
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2008 19:00:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <372.1226343605@redhat.com> (raw)


Make request_key() instantiate the per-user keyrings so that it doesn't oops
if it needs to get hold of the user session keyring because there isn't a
session keyring in place.
