Subject: [PATCH 0/4] keys: Miscellaneous fixes


Hi James,

Here are some keyrings fixes.

 (1) Handle quotas better, allowing full quota to be reached.

 (2) Fix the creation of shortcuts in the assoc_array internal
     representation when the index key needs to be an exact multiple of the
     machine word size.

 (3) Fix a dependency loop between the request_key contruction record and
     the request_key authentication key.  The construction record isn't
     really necessary and can be dispensed with.

 (4) Set the timestamp on a new key rather than leaving it as 0.  This
     would ordinarily be fine - provided the system clock is never set to a
     time before 1970.

The patches can be found here tagged thusly:
