[PATCH] IMA: inconsistent lock state in ima_process_queued_keys

From: Lakshmi Ramasubramanian
Date: Wed Jan 15 2020 - 22:13:54 EST


ima_queued_keys() is called from a non-interrupt context, but
ima_process_queued_keys() may be called from both an interrupt
context (ima_timer_handler) and non-interrupt context
(ima_update_policy). Since the spinlock named ima_keys_lock is used
in both ima_queued_keys() and ima_process_queued_keys(),
irq version of the spinlock macros, spin_lock_irqsave() and
spin_unlock_irqrestore(), should be used[1].

This patch fixes the "inconsistent lock state" issue caused by
using the non-irq version of the spinlock macros in ima_queue_key()
and ima_process_queued_keys().
