[LTP] [PATCH v2 03/33] keyctl11: Test KEYCTL_DESCRIBE with exact buffer size

Fri Sep 4 14:08:52 CEST 2026
From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
Test KEYCTL_DESCRIBE when called with a buffer sized exactly to the
full description length: verify the string is copied completely
including the terminating NUL byte.
