| |
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.
