[PATCH v3 1/2] IMA: Define workqueue for early boot "key" measurements

From: Lakshmi Ramasubramanian
Date: Thu Dec 12 2019 - 19:43:15 EST


Measuring keys requires a custom IMA policy to be loaded.
Keys created or updated before a custom IMA policy is loaded should
be queued and the keys should be processed after a custom policy
is loaded.

This patch defines workqueue for queuing keys when a custom IMA policy
has not yet been loaded.

A flag namely ima_process_keys is used to check if the key should be
queued or should be processed immediately.
