Does the kernel keyring store anything on disk?

I'm trying to learn a bit about the kernel keyring (as background for using ecryptfs).  Does the kernel keyring store anything on disk, or is it a strictly an in-memory mechanism?  I've looked through some of the documentation, but this isn't claer to me.  If it does save things to disk, where are the file written?

thanks

The Linux kernel never stores anything on a disk of its own behalf.
