Subject[PATCH] Keys: Doc update for properly sharing process keyrings patch
Date

The attached patch updates the documentation on the kernel keys to reflect the
fact that process keyrings will no longer change ownership when the UID and
GID of a thread change; process's don't have UIDs and GIDs in Linux, only
threads do.

This patch is contingent on the keyring sharing patch submitted a few minutes
ago.
