[RFC PATCH 03/14] keyctl: check capabilities against key's user_ns

From: Serge Hallyn
Date: Tue Jul 12 2011 - 19:38:59 EST


From: Serge E. Hallyn <serge.hallyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

ATM, task should only be able to get his own user_ns's keys
anyway, so nsown_capable should also work, but there is no
advantage to doing that, while using key's user_ns is clearer.

changelog: jun 6:
compile fix: keyctl.c (key_user, not key has user_ns)
