Date: Fri, 11 May 2012 00:39:23 +0100 From: David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com> To: rusty@...tcorp.com.au Cc: kyle@...artin.ca, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, linux-security-module@...r.kernel.org, keyrings@...ux-nfs.org, David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com> Subject: [PATCH 02/29] KEYS: Move the key config into security/keys/Kconfig [ver #4] Move the key config into security/keys/Kconfig as there are going to be a lot of key-related options.
