+Subject: KEYS: Fix keyring ref leak in join_session_keyring()
+
+If a thread is asked to join as a session keyring the keyring that's already
+set as its session, we leak a keyring reference.
+
+This can be tested with the following program:
+
+	#include <stddef.h>
+	#include <stdio.h>
+	#include <sys/types.h>
+	#include <keyutils.h>
+
+	int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
+	{
+		int i = 0;
+		key_serial_t serial;
+
+		serial = keyctl(KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING,
+				"leaked-keyring");
+		if (serial < 0) {
+			perror("keyctl");
+			return -1;
+		}
+
+		if (keyctl(KEYCTL_SETPERM, serial,
+			   KEY_POS_ALL | KEY_USR_ALL) < 0) {
+			perror("keyctl");
+			return -1;
+		}
+
+		for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
+			serial = keyctl(KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING,
+					"leaked-keyring");
+			if (serial < 0) {
+				perror("keyctl");
+				return -1;
+			}
+		}
+
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+If, after the program has run, there something like the following line in
+/proc/keys:
+
+3f3d898f I--Q---   100 perm 3f3f0000     0     0 keyring   leaked-keyring: empty
+
+with a usage count of 100 * the number of times the program has been run,
+then the kernel is malfunctioning.  If leaked-keyring has zero usages or
+has been garbage collected, then the problem is fixed.
