This patch modifies the return type from void to int, and returns 0 if the buffer has been successfully measured, a negative value otherwise.Needed here is an explanation as to why ima_measure_critical_data() is special.We don't want to unnecessarily calculate the digest twice.
That's what the "iint" cache is for. . This needs more a of an explaintion as to why ima_measure_critical_data() is special. thanks, Mimi
