From e9cc0f689a7c0c9be6fed6861b3a3f49ad0e7a52 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mat Martineau Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2016 16:10:59 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] KEYS: Add a key restriction struct Key link restrictions require restriction-specific data as well as a restriction-specific function pointer. As a first step toward replacing the restrict_link pointer in struct key, define a more general key_restriction structure that captures the required function, key, and key type pointers. Key type modules should not be pinned on account of this key type pointer because the pointer will be cleared by the garbage collector if the key type is unregistered.
