Your current patches are straight forward and easy to review.ÂÂI
really like that. ÂWhat I'm proposing is a minor change, at least I
think it is a minor change. ÂI trust whatever change you decide to
make will be just as easy to review.

Before re-posting, please define ima_sha1_idx and ima_hash_algo_idx as
__ro_after_init.
