If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Colin Ian King commit ca4da5dd1f99fe9c59f1709fb43e818b18ad20e0 upstream. __key_link_end is not freeing the associated array edit structure and this leads to a 512 byte memory leak each time an identical existing key is added with add_key(). The reason the add_key() system call returns okay is that key_create_or_update() calls __key_link_begin() before checking to see whether it can update a key directly rather than adding/replacing - which it turns out it can. Thus __key_link() is not called through __key_instantiate_and_link() and __key_link_end() must cancel the edit.
