I'll update the subject line for the patches - limit to max 50 chars.

IMA policy needs to support measuring only those keys linked to

Patch descriptions should be written in the imperative. ÂFor example,
"Limit measuring keys to those keys being loaded onto a specific
keyring."
Will update.



This patch defines a new IMA policy option namely "keyrings=" that
can be used to specify a set of keyrings. If this option is specified
in the policy for func=KEYRING_CHECK then only the keys linked to
the keyrings given in "keyrings=" option are measured.

This description does not seem to match the code, which for some
reason isn't included in this patch, nor in 3/10. ÂPlease
combine/squash patches 2 & 3. ÂMissing from the combined patch is the
keyring matching code in ima_match_rules().

This patch defines "keyrings=" option in the IMA policy and adds the related field in ima_rule_entry struct.

The code for updating the new field in ima_rule_entry is in patch #4
[PATCH v5 04/10] IMA: Updated IMA policy functions to return keyrings option read from the policy

I'll update the description for this patch (#2).
