🦋 rxrpc_sock_...rity_keyring(9) 🦋

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the real one, the kernel one, not your silly little app docs 💅 this page is all about rxrpc_sock_set_security_keyring, and honestly? it's giving "small function, big responsibilities." let's get into it 🔥

---

✨ NAME ✨

rxrpc_sock_set_security_keyring — sets the security keyring for a kernel service, no cap 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int rxrpc_sock_set_security_keyring (struct sock *sk , struct key *keyring );

like, that's the whole signature. int in, int out, two pointers in between. iconic behavior honestly ⭐

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• sk — the socket you're setting the keyring on. it's a struct sock *, so yk, the socket, the vibe, the main character 🫶
• keyring — the keyring you're setting. a struct key *. this is the actual keyring being handed over, don't lose it 🙈

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

so what does it do? it sets the server security keyring on an rxrpc socket. lowkey simple, highkey important 🔑

and like — this keyring is what provides the encryption keys for a kernel service. so it's not decorative. it's the whole "your stuff is encrypted" thing. treat it with respect, bestie 💜

---

👑 RETURN 👑

• 0 if it worked — slay, success, we love to see it ✨
• a negative error code otherwise — meaning something went wrong, check that errno energy 😭

no in-between, no "maybe," just 0 or negative. periodt. 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• the kernel file ./net/rxrpc/server_key.c — go read it, iykyk 📖
• rxrpc_sock_set_manage_response(9) — another one, go look 🦋

okay that's the page!! and before you go — the footer energy: this beauty comes from the source tree at ./net/rxrpc, dated October 2026, and it lives under the manual name for rxrpc_sock_...rity_keyring(9) (yes, with the little ... in the middle, that's just how it's titled, don't come for me 💀). bye bestie, go set some keyrings responsibly 🍓💖
