Public bug reported:

This is a reincarnation of Bug #1234412.

Looks like issue is not related to specific kernel versions.

Currently I am observing two Trusty (14.04) machines, with very close configuration, running same kernel:
3.13.0-36-generic #63-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 3 21:30:07 UTC 2014 x86_64.

One is able to mount without the problem but the other is refusing:
$ mount -t ecryptfs sec sec
Unable to link the KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING into the KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING; there is something wrong with your kernel keyring. Did you build key retention support into your kernel?

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Incomplete


** Tags: trusty
