[PATCH] dns: Apply a default TTL to records obtained from getaddrinfo()

From: David Howells
Date: Mon May 18 2020 - 10:22:59 EST


Address records obtained from getaddrinfo() don't come with any TTL
information, even if they're obtained from the DNS, with the result that
key.dns_resolver upcall program doesn't set an expiry time on dns_resolver
records unless they include a component obtained directly from the DNS,
such as an SRV or AFSDB record.

Fix this to apply a default TTL of 10mins in the event that we haven't got
one. This can be configured in /etc/keyutils/key.dns_resolver.conf by
adding the line:

default_ttl: <number-of-seconds>

to the file.
