Message-ID: <20130717204433.8591.42799.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk>
Date:	Wed, 17 Jul 2013 21:44:33 +0100
From:	David Howells <dhowells@...hat.com>

Subject: [PATCH 09/10] KEYS: Drop the permissions argument from
 __keyring_search_one()

Drop the permissions argument from __keyring_search_one() as the only caller
passes 0 here - which causes all checks to be skipped.
