| |
ima_file_free() hook is only used by appraisal module to update hash when file was modified. When there were no integrity checks on inode, S_IMA flag is not set, integrity_iint_find() returns NULL and it quits. When inode is only measured/audited but not appraised, iint is allocated and it will cause calling ima_check_last_writer() which unnecessarily locks i_mutex.
Currently ima_file_free() checks 'iint_initialized'. But it looks that it is a mistake and originally 'ima_appraise' had to be used instead. In fact usage of 'iint_initialized' is completely unnecessary because S_IMA flag would not be set if iint was not allocated.
This patch uses lately introduced ima_policy_flag to test if appraisal was enabled by policy.
With this change 'iint_initialized' is no longer used anywhere. Indeed, integrity cache is allocated with SLAB_PANIC and kernel will panic if allocation fails during kernel initialization. So this variable is unnecessary and thus this patch removes it.
Changes in v2: * 'iint_initialized' removal patch merged to this patch (requested by Mimi)
