Pull request_key improvements from David Howells:
 "These are all request_key()-related, including a fix and some improvements:

   - Fix the lack of a Link permission check on a key found by
     request_key(), thereby enabling request_key() to link keys that
     don't grant this permission to the target keyring (which must still
     grant Write permission).

     Note that the key must be in the caller's keyrings already to be
     found.

   - Invalidate used request_key authentication keys rather than
     revoking them, so that they get cleaned up immediately rather than
     hanging around till the expiry time is passed.

   - Move the RCU locks outwards from the keyring search functions so
     that a request_key_rcu() can be provided. This can be called in RCU
     mode, so it can't sleep and can't upcall - but it can be called
     from LOOKUP_RCU pathwalk mode.

   - Cache the latest positive result of request_key*() temporarily in
     task_struct so that filesystems that make a lot of request_key()
     calls during pathwalk can take advantage of it to avoid having to
     redo the searching. This requires CONFIG_KEYS_REQUEST_CACHE=y.

     It is assumed that the key just found is likely to be used multiple
     times in each step in an RCU pathwalk, and is likely to be reused
     for the next step too.

     Note that the cleanup of the cache is done on TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME,
     just before userspace resumes, and on exit"

   - Implement a keyctl to allow a key to be moved from one keyring to

     that upcall servicing daemons can more easily arrange things such

   - Improvement in lookup_user_key().

If a filesystem uses keys to hold authentication tokens, then it needs a
token for each VFS operation that might perform an authentication check -
either by passing it to the server, or using to perform a check based on
authentication data cached locally.

For open files this isn't a problem, since the key should be cached in the
file struct since it represents the subject performing operations on that
file descriptor.

During pathwalk, however, there isn't anywhere to cache the key, except
perhaps in the nameidata struct - but that isn't exposed to the
filesystems.  Further, a pathwalk can incur a lot of operations, calling
one or more of the following, for instance:

	-&gt;lookup()
	-&gt;permission()
	-&gt;d_revalidate()
	-&gt;d_automount()
	-&gt;get_acl()
	-&gt;getxattr()

on each dentry/inode it encounters - and each one may need to call
request_key().  And then, at the end of pathwalk, it will call the actual
operation:

	-&gt;mkdir()
	-&gt;mknod()
	-&gt;getattr()
	-&gt;open()
	...

which may need to go and get the token again.

However, it is very likely that all of the operations on a single
dentry/inode - and quite possibly a sequence of them - will all want to use
the same authentication token, which suggests that caching it would be a
good idea.

To this end:

 (1) Make it so that a positive result of request_key() and co. that didn't
     require upcalling to userspace is cached temporarily in task_struct.

 (2) The cache is 1 deep, so a new result displaces the old one.

 (3) The key is released by exit and by notify-resume.

 (4) The cache is cleared in a newly forked process.

a couple years ago. Also add comments on this barrier and the one it pairs

Sometimes we want to opportunistically get a
ref to a cred in an rcu_read_lock protected section.
get_task_cred() does this, and NFS does as similar thing
with its own credential structures.
To prepare for NFS converting to use 'struct cred' more
uniformly, define get_cred_rcu(), and use it in
get_task_cred().
