Commit Message

Impose a limit on the number of watches that a user can hold so that they
can't use this mechanism to fill up all the available memory.

This is done by putting a counter in user_struct that's incremented when a
watch is allocated and decreased when it is released.  If the number
exceeds the RLIMIT_NOFILE limit, the watch is rejected with EAGAIN.

This can be tested by the following means:

 (1) Create a watch queue and attach it to fd 5 in the program given - in
     this case, bash:

	keyctl watch_session /tmp/nlog /tmp/gclog 5 bash

 (2) In the shell, set the maximum number of files to, say, 99:

	ulimit -n 99

 (3) Add 200 keyrings:

	for ((i=0; i<200; i++)); do keyctl newring a$i @s || break; done

 (4) Try to watch all of the keyrings:

	for ((i=0; i<200; i++)); do echo $i; keyctl watch_add 5 %:a$i || break; done

     This should fail when the number of watches belonging to the user hits
     99.

 (5) Remove all the keyrings and all of those watches should go away:

	for ((i=0; i<200; i++)); do keyctl unlink %:a$i; done

 (6) Kill off the watch queue by exiting the shell spawned by
     watch_session.

David, BTW, would it be possible to push keyrings to lore.kernel.org?

I don't have an archive for keyrings, which means that I cannot push
this forward.

Hi Linus,

Could you consider taking this patch as a bugfix since the problem exists
already in upstream code?

Alternatively, I can include it in a set with the mount notifications.
