SubjectRe: [PATCH 4/6] KEYS: Add garbage collection for dead, revoked and expired keys. [ver #2]
Quoting David Howells (dhowells@redhat.com):
> Add garbage collection for dead, revoked and expired keys. This involved
> erasing all links to such keys from keyrings that point to them. At that
> point, the key will be deleted in the normal manner.
>
> Keyrings from which garbage collection occurs are shrunk and their quota
> consumption reduced as appropriate.
>
> Dead keys (for which the key type has been removed) will be garbage collected
> immediately.
>
> Revoked and expired keys will hang around for a number of seconds, as set in
> /proc/sys/kernel/keys/gc_delay before being automatically removed. The default
> is 5 minutes.
