[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 04/86] KEYS: Don't permit request_key() to construct a new keyring

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.19.8-ckt9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Howells <dhowells at redhat.com>

commit 911b79cde95c7da0ec02f48105358a36636b7a71 upstream.

If request_key() is used to find a keyring, only do the search part - don't
do the construction part if the keyring was not found by the search.  We
don't really want keyrings in the negative instantiated state since the
rejected/negative instantiation error value in the payload is unioned with
keyring metadata.

Now the kernel gives an error:

	request_key("keyring", "#selinux,bdekeyring", "keyring", KEY_SPEC_USER_SESSION_KEYRING) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
