+Subject: KEYS: Don't permit request_key() to construct a new  keyring
+Origin: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/kernel.git/plain/0002-KEYS-Don-t-permit-request_key-to-construct-a-new-key.patch?id=d76d5fe34b5c151ad83761160998b1075729b541
+
+    If request_key() is used to find a keyring, only do the search part - don't
+    do the construction part if the keyring was not found by the search.  We
+    don't really want keyrings in the negative instantiated state since the
+    rejected/negative instantiation error value in the payload is unioned with
+    keyring metadata.
