[GIT PULL] Keys: fix C++ reserved word issue

From: James Morris <jmorris@namei.org>
Date: 2018-09-24 21:40:16

Please pull this revert and update, from David Howells:

"Here's a pair of fixes that need to go upstream asap, please:

 (1) Revert an incorrect fix to the keyrings UAPI for a C++ reserved word
     used as a struct member name.  This change being reverted breaks
     existing userspace code and is thus incorrect.

     Further, *neither* name is consistent with the one in the keyutils
     package public header.

 (2) Fix the problem by using a union to make the name from keyutils
     available in parallel and make the 'private' name unavailable in C++
     with cpp-conditionals."

8.5 hours seems like a short amount of time for something to sit in a
tree before asking for it to be merged.  Wait, it's actually less than
that, I just took into account the longest possible time it could have
been in your tree.

I'll wait a few days on this one...

thanks,

Can you at least apply the reversion patch?  UAPI is currently broken by the
change that needs reverting.

Yes, as that's obviously correct.  I think you should wait for your
patch 2 here until 4.20-rc1, as this isn't a "fix" that is required at
this point in time.

I'll just go cherry-pick that one patch, thanks.

Ok, I'll queue this for the merge window.
