.SH DESCRIPTION
.BR keyctl_session_to_parent ()
changes the session keyring to which the calling process's parent subscribes
to be the that of the calling process.
.P
The keyring must have
.B link
permission available to the calling process, the parent process must have the
same UIDs/GIDs as the calling process, and the LSM must not reject the
replacement.  Furthermore, this may not be used to affect init or a kernel
thread.
.P
Note that the replacement will not take immediate effect upon the parent
process, but will rather be deferred to the next time it returns to userspace
from kernel space.
