My understanding was that key_create_or_update() would not allow
duplicates so there shouldn't be old ones. Is that incorrect?

The SED Opal driver is part of the block driver and does not build as a
module so it will not exit. I had looked at "blacklist" as an example
and saw that it allocated but did not free its keyring.

Thanks for the comments on the keyring. I'm not very familiar with the
keyring code, so I'd appreciate suggestions on code changes if any are
needed for your two comments.
