Re: Conflict with Mickaël Salaün's blacklist patches [was [PATCH v5 0/4] Add EFI_CERT_X509_GUID support for dbx/mokx entries]

From: Mickaël Salaün <mic@digikod.net>
Date: 2021-02-03 18:50:38
Also in: keyrings, linux-kbuild, lkml

This looks good to me, and it still works for my use case. Eric's
patchset only looks for asymmetric keys in the blacklist keyring, so
even if we use the same keyring we don't look for the same key types. My
patchset only allows blacklist keys (i.e. hashes, not asymmetric keys)
to be added by user space (if authenticated), but because Eric's
asymmetric keys are loaded with KEY_ALLOC_BYPASS_RESTRICTION, it should
be OK for his use case.  There should be no interference between the two
new features, but I find it a bit confusing to have such distinct use of
keys from the same keyring depending on their type.

Regards,
 Mickaël

This is the fifth patch series for adding support for 
EFI_CERT_X509_GUID entries [1].  It has been expanded to not only include
dbx entries but also entries in the mokx.  Additionally my series to
preload these certificate [2] has also been included.
Okay, I've tentatively applied this to my keys-next branch.  However, it
conflicts minorly with Mickaël Salaün's patches that I've previously merged on
the same branch.  Can you have a look at the merge commit

	https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/commit/?h=keys-next&id=fdbbe7ceeb95090d09c33ce0497e0394c82aa33d

	(the top patch of my keys-next branch)

to see if that is okay by both of you?  If so, can you give it a whirl?

Thanks,
David
