Key pointers stored in the keyring are marked in bit 1 to indicate if they
point to a keyring. We need to strip off this bit before using the pointer
when iterating over the keyring for the purpose of looking for links to garbage
collect.
This means that expirable keyrings aren't correctly expiring because the
checker is seeing their key pointer with 2 added to it.
Since the fix for this involves knowing about the internals of the keyring,
key_gc_keyring() is moved to keyring.c and merged into keyring_gc().
This can be tested by:
echo 2 >/proc/sys/kernel/keys/gc_delay
keyctl timeout `keyctl add keyring qwerty "" @s` 2
cat /proc/keys
sleep 5; cat /proc/keys
which should see a keyring called "qwerty" appear in the session keyring and
then disappear after it expires, and:
echo 2 >/proc/sys/kernel/keys/gc_delay
a=`keyctl get_persistent @s`
b=`keyctl add keyring 0 "" $a`
keyctl add user a a $b
keyctl timeout $b 2
cat /proc/keys
sleep 5; cat /proc/keys
which should see a keyring called "0" with a key called "a" in it appear in the
user's persistent keyring (which will be attached to the session keyring) and
then both the "0" keyring and the "a" key should disappear when the "0" keyring
expires.
