[PATCH v2 2/3] blkpr: add read-keys command

Stefan Hajnoczi <[email protected]> Wed, 17 Dec 2025 13:26:06 -0500
Newsgroups org.kernel.vger.util-linux
Message-ID <[email protected]>
The new IOC_PR_READ_KEYS ioctl lists registered keys on a device. Add a
command so that users can inspect keys. This is useful both for
troubleshooting and for recovery scenarios.
