There were several improvements suggested for the original device mapper
target measurement patch series [1].

Those improvement suggestions include: 
 - Prefixing hashes for the DM tables being measured in ima log with the
   hash algorithm.
 - Adding version information for DM related events being measured in the
   ima log.
 - Prefixing DM related event names with "dm_".
 - Including the verity target attribute - "root_hash_sig_key_desc"
   in the ima measurement log.

This series incorporates the above suggestions.

This series also has the following fixes:
 - Adding a one-time warning to dmesg during dm_init if
   CONFIG_IMA_DISABLE_HTABLE is set to 'n'.
 - Updating 'integrity' target to remove the duplicate measurement of
   the attribute "mode=%c".
 - Indexing various attributes in 'multipath' target, and adding
   "nr_priority_groups=%u" attribute to the measurements.
 - Fixing 'make htmldocs' warnings in dm-ima.rst.
 - Adding missing documentation for the targets - 'cache', 'integrity',
   'multipath', and 'snapshot' in dm-ima.rst.
 - Updating dm-ima.rst documentation with the grammar for various DM
   events and targets in Backus Naur form.
 - Updating dm-ima.rst documentation to be consistent with the code
   changes described above.

This series is based on top of the following git repo/branch/commit:
 Repo: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git
 Branch: dm-5.15
 Commit: commit 5a2a33884f0b ("dm crypt: Avoid percpu_counter spinlock contention in crypt_page_alloc()")

Tushar Sugandhi (6):
  dm ima: prefix dm table hashes in ima log with hash algorithm
  dm ima: add version info to dm related events in ima log
  dm ima: prefix ima event name related to device mapper with dm_
  dm ima: add a warning in dm_init if duplicate ima events are not
    measured
  dm ima: update dm target attributes for ima measurements
  dm ima: update dm documentation for ima measurement support

Hi,

I reviewed and staged these changes in dm-5.15 (and for-next) with
minimal tweaks. Really just some whitespace and a simplification of
the conditional for the warning in dm_init().

Please make sure that you manually apply Christoph's fix for the issue
you reported earlier in the week, you were cc'd on the ultimate fix
which has a different patch header than this patch but on a code level
it is identical (and only patch that landed on a public mailing list
due to typo in linux-block email address when hch sent the final fix):
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2021-August/msg00154.html

It is an issue that'll linger in the dm-5.15 because I cannot rebase
at this late hour even once Jens picks the fix up into the
linux-block tree.

Thanks,
Mike
