+X-Git-Url: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux%2Fkernel%2Fgit%2Ftorvalds%2Flinux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=9ad0830f307bcd8dc285cfae58998d43b21727f4

+[PATCH] Keys: Fix key serial number collision handling
+
+Fix the key serial number collision avoidance code in key_alloc_serial().
+
+This didn't use to be so much of a problem as the key serial numbers were
+allocated from a simple incremental counter, and it would have to go through
+two billion keys before it could possibly encounter a collision.  However, now
+that random numbers are used instead, collisions are much more likely.
+
+This is fixed by finding a hole in the rbtree where the next unused serial
+number ought to be and using that by going almost back to the top of the
+insertion routine and redoing the insertion with the new serial number rather
+than trying to be clever and attempting to work out the insertion point
+pointer directly.
+
+This fixes kernel BZ #7727.
