The C maximum line length is 80 characters.  The subject line is even
less than that (~50).  The Subject line here could be "ima: add
support to limit measuring keys".
I'll update the subject line for the patches - limit to max 50 chars.

IMA policy needs to support measuring only those keys linked to
a specific set of keyrings.
Patch descriptions should be written in the imperative.  For example,
"Limit measuring keys to those keys being loaded onto a specific
keyring."
Will update.

This patch defines a new IMA policy option namely "keyrings=" that
can be used to specify a set of keyrings. If this option is specified
in the policy for func=KEYRING_CHECK then only the keys linked to
the keyrings given in "keyrings=" option are measured.
This description does not seem to match the code, which for some
reason isn't included in this patch, nor in 3/10.  Please
combine/squash patches 2 & 3.  Missing from the combined patch is the
keyring matching code in ima_match_rules().
This patch defines "keyrings=" option in the IMA policy and adds the 
related field in ima_rule_entry struct.

The code for updating the new field in ima_rule_entry is in patch #4
[PATCH v5 04/10] IMA: Updated IMA policy functions to return keyrings 
option read from the policy
That's the problem.  The keyrings doesn't need to be returned, but
processed in ima_match_rules().
