Hello, could I get some feedback on this patch? Are there any
objections to including it upstream?

Conceptually I don't have a problem with the patch, but I'd also like a
test to go with it.  

Roberto posted "ima-evm-utils: Add UML support and tests for EVM
portable signatures", which introduces using UML (User Mode Linux) for
testing new kernel features, which, unfortunately, still needs to be
reviewed and upstreamed.  (Hint, hint help with reviewing.]

Another option is to define an LTP test.   In either case, a custom IMA
policy would be defined in terms of a loopback mounted filesystem to
avoid affecting the entire system.

I'd appreciate your re-basing and re-posting this patch.

thanks,

Mimi

Thanks for the feedback! The UML tests are intriguing and I will be
interested to see how they work out. However, I think the tests for
this particular patch fit better with the existing LTP tests. I will
send a rebased kernel patch and an LTP patch.
