What is this branch based on ?
v2 was sent against bpf-next, because
commit 264d8fd2794f ("bpf, keys: Add a bpf keyring for program signature validation")
is only there.
All hunks in keyctl.h, key.h and process_keys.c have its lines as
context, so the patches don't apply to -rc as-is.
And patch 3 documents KEY_SPEC_BPF_KEYRING.

I'm confused.
