Merge tag 'keys-fixes-20200329' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs

Pull keyrings fixes from David Howells:
 "Here's a couple of patches that fix a circular dependency between
  holding key->sem and mm->mmap_sem when reading data from a key.

  One potential issue is that a filesystem looking to use a key inside,
  say, ->readpages() could deadlock if the key being read is the key
  that's required and the buffer the key is being read into is on a page
  that needs to be fetched.

  The case actually detected is a bit more involved - with a filesystem
  calling request_key() and locking the target keyring for write - which
  could be being read"
