Описание (Description)
keyctl_assume_authority() assumes the authority for the calling
thread to deal with and instantiate the specified uninstantiated
key.
The calling thread must have the appropriate authorisation key
resident in one of its keyrings for this to succeed, and that
authority must not have been revoked.
The authorising key is allocated by request_key() when it needs
to invoke userspace to generate a key for the requesting process.
This is then attached to one of the keyrings of the userspace
process to which the task of instantiating the key is given:
requester -> request_key() -> instantiator
Calling this function modifies the way request_key() works when
called thereafter by the calling (instantiator) thread; once the
authority is assumed, the keyrings of the initial process are
added to the search path, using the initial process's UID, GID,
groups and security context.
If a thread has multiple instantiations to deal with, it may call
this function to change the authorisation key currently in
effect. Supplying a zero key de-assumes the currently assumed
authority.
NOTE! This is a per-thread setting and not a per-process setting
so that a multithreaded process can be used to instantiate
several keys at once.
keyctl_instantiate() instantiates the payload of an
uninstantiated key from the data specified. payload and plen
specify the data for the new payload. payload may be NULL and
plen may be zero if the key type permits that. The key type may
reject the data if it's in the wrong format or in some other way
invalid.
keyctl_instantiate_iov() is similar, but the data is passed in an
array of iovec structs instead of in a flat buffer. payload_iov
points to the base of the array and ioc indicates how many
elements there are. payload_iov may be NULL or ioc may be zero
to indicate that no data is being supplied.
keyctl_reject() marks a key as negatively instantiated and sets
the expiration timer on it. timeout specifies the lifetime of
the key in seconds. error specifies the error to be returned
when a search hits the key (this is typically EKEYREJECTED,
EKEYREVOKED or EKEYEXPIRED). Note that keyctl_reject() falls
back to keyctl_negate() if the kernel does not support it.
keyctl_negate() as keyctl_reject() with an error code of ENOKEY.
Only a key for which authority has been assumed may be
instantiated or negatively instantiated, and once instantiated,
the authorisation key will be revoked and the requesting process
will be able to resume.
The destination keyring, if given, is assumed to belong to the
initial requester, and not the instantiating process. Therefore,
the special keyring IDs refer to the requesting process's
keyrings, not the caller's, and the requester's UID, etc. will be
used to access them.
The destination keyring can be zero if no extra link is desired.
The requester, not the caller, must have write permission on the
destination for a link to be made there.
Возвращаемое значение (Return value)
On success keyctl_instantiate() returns 0. On error, the value
-1 will be returned and errno will have been set to an
appropriate error.
Ошибки (Error)
ENOKEY The key or keyring specified is invalid.
EKEYEXPIRED
The keyring specified has expired.
EKEYREVOKED
The key or keyring specified had been revoked, or the
authorisation has been revoked.
EINVAL The payload data was invalid.
ENOMEM Insufficient memory to store the new payload or to expand
the destination keyring.
EDQUOT The key quota for the key's user would be exceeded by
increasing the size of the key to accommodate the new
payload or the key quota for the keyring's user would be
exceeded by expanding the destination keyring.
EACCES The key exists, but is not writable by the requester.
Ссылки (Linking)
This is a library function that can be found in libkeyutils.
When linking, -lkeyutils should be specified to the linker.
