Open Debarshi Ray requested to merge wip/rishi/identity-kernel-keyring-notification into master Feb 08, 2020
  • Overview 0
  • Commits 5
  • Changes 8

So far, goa-identity-service didn't have a way to be notified about changes to Kerberos credentials caches stored in the Linux kernel's keyring. It resorted to polling the credentials caches to detect any changes made to them, leading to higher power consumption.

The Linux kernel now offers a notification mechanism in the form of a special pipe that can be used to listen for changes to the keyring. This reduces the need to poll the credentials caches.
