Subject: [GIT PULL] Keys: fix C++ reserved word issue

Please pull this revert and update, from David Howells:

"Here's a pair of fixes that need to go upstream asap, please:

(1) Revert an incorrect fix to the keyrings UAPI for a C++ reserved word
used as a struct member name. This change being reverted breaks
existing userspace code and is thus incorrect.

Further, *neither* name is consistent with the one in the keyutils
package public header.

(2) Fix the problem by using a union to make the name from keyutils
available in parallel and make the 'private' name unavailable in C++
with cpp-conditionals."

{sigh}

1537825206

$ date -ud "@30205" +'%H hours %M minutes %S seconds'
08 hours 23 minutes 25 seconds

8.5 hours seems like a short amount of time for something to sit in a
tree before asking for it to be merged. Wait, it's actually less than
that, I just took into account the longest possible time it could have
been in your tree.

I'll wait a few days on this one...

thanks,

Can you at least apply the reversion patch? UAPI is currently broken by the
change that needs reverting.

Yes, as that's obviously correct. I think you should wait for your
patch 2 here until 4.20-rc1, as this isn't a "fix" that is required at
this point in time.

I'll just go cherry-pick that one patch, thanks.

Ok, I'll queue this for the merge window.
