From: Mehmet Kayaalp <redacted> The iint cache stores whether the file is measured, appraised, audited etc. This patch moves the IMA_AUDITED flag into the per-namespace ns_status, enabling IMA audit mechanism to audit the same file each time it is accessed in a new namespace. The ns_status is not looked up if the CONFIG_IMA_NS is disabled or if any of the IMA_NS_STATUS_ACTIONS (currently only IMA_AUDIT) is not enabled.
^none of the ... are enabled. thanks, Mimi
Read and write operations on the iint flags is replaced with function calls. For reading, iint_flags() returns the bitwise AND of iint->flags and ns_status->flags. The ns_status flags are masked with IMA_NS_STATUS_FLAGS (currently only IMA_AUDITED). Similarly set_iint_flags() only writes the masked portion to the ns_status flags, while the iint flags is set as before. The ns_status parameter added to ima_audit_measurement() is used with the above functions to query and set the ns_status flags.
