KEYS: Fix garbage collector
Fix a number of problems with the new key garbage collector: (1) A rogue semicolon in keyring_gc() was causing the initial count of dead keys to be miscalculated. (2) A missing return in keyring_gc() meant that under certain circumstances, the keyring semaphore would be unlocked twice. (3) The key serial tree iterator (key_garbage_collector()) part of the garbage collector has been modified to: (a) Complete each scan of the keyrings before setting the new timer. (b) Only set the new timer for keys that have yet to expire. This means that the new timer is now calculated correctly, and the gc doesn't get into a loop continually scanning for keys that have expired, and preventing other things from happening, like RCU cleaning up the old keyring contents. (c) Perform an extra scan if any keys were garbage collected in this one as a key might become garbage during a scan, and (b) could mean we don't set the timer again. (4) Made key_schedule_gc() take the time at which to do a collection run, rather than the time at which the key expires. This means the collection of dead keys (key type unregistered) can happen immediately. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
