I'm generally okay with this, but there are a couple of issues with the patch.

Can you keep this in process_keys.c please? Then everything that actually
updates a process's keyrings is done there. Admittedly, on that basis, you
can argue that I should move a chunk of keyctl_session_to_parent() there too.

And, also, can you please keep the "key_" on the front of the name?

Unless TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME is defined, this operation cannot be performed and
should generate an error. I don't see how this happens now.

I hate this type of construct. "if not function()" indicating the function
succeeded. Can you make it "== 0" instead? Also, shouldn't we tell the user
that it failed?
