At this point, there was an appended signature verification failure.
ÂIf there isn't an xattr, for whatever reason, shouldn't we be
returning "invalid_signature" and "INTEGRITY_FAIL". ÂIf so, then the
above test could be simplified to check whether there is any data,
like this:

	if ((inode->i_opflags & IOP_XATTR) && (*xattr_len_ > 0)) {

> +			const char *modsig_cause = rc == -EOPNOTSUPP ?

This can then be cleaned up as well.

I'm not sure that we want to audit intermediary signature verification
failures. ÂPerhaps this audit message should be considered
"additional", meaning it is only emitted if the "integrity_audit" boot
command line option is enabled. ÂChange the last field to 1 to
indicate it is an "additional" audit message.

This test becomes redundant.

I think the rest can be simplified to:
	cause = "invalid-signature";
	status = INTEGRITY_FAIL;
