[LTP] [PATCH v2 07/33] keyctl15: Test KEYCTL_GET_SECURITY label retrieval

Fri Sep 4 14:08:56 CEST 2026
From: Andrea Cervesato <andrea.cervesato@suse.com>
Test KEYCTL_GET_SECURITY label retrieval: verify reading the security
label of a valid key into a large buffer returns a positive length
and an empty string when no LSM label is set.
