[PATCH v0 1/2] IMA: Defined queue functions

From: Lakshmi Ramasubramanian
Date: Tue Nov 26 2019 - 21:53:23 EST


Keys created or updated in the system before IMA is initialized
should be queued up. And, keys (including any queued ones)
should be processed when IMA initialization is completed.

This patch defines functions to queue and dequeue keys for
measurement. A flag namely ima_process_keys_for_measurement
is used to check if the key should be queued or should be
processed immediately.

ima_policy_flag cannot be relied upon to make queuing decision
because ima_policy_flag will be set to 0 when either IMA is
not initialized or when the IMA policy itself is empty.
