+Subject: KEYS: Fix crash when attempt to garbage collect an uninstantiated keyring
+Origin: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/kernel.git/plain/0001-KEYS-Fix-crash-when-attempt-to-garbage-collect-an-un.patch?id=d76d5fe34b5c151ad83761160998b1075729b541
+
+    The following sequence of commands:
+
+        i=`keyctl add user a a @s`
+        keyctl request2 keyring foo bar @t
+        keyctl unlink $i @s
+
+    tries to invoke an upcall to instantiate a keyring if one doesn't already
+    exist by that name within the user's keyring set.  However, if the upcall
+    fails, the code sets keyring->type_data.reject_error to -ENOKEY or some
+    other error code.  When the key is garbage collected, the key destroy
+    function is called unconditionally and keyring_destroy() uses list_empty()
+    on keyring->type_data.link - which is in a union with reject_error.
+    Subsequently, the kernel tries to unlink the keyring from the keyring names
+    list - which oopses like this:
+

+
+    Note the value in RAX.  This is a 32-bit representation of -ENOKEY.
+
+    The solution is to only call ->destroy() if the key was successfully
