Either you meant to copy @sig into @v->root_digest_sig and forgot to
add the code for that, or we don't need to include @sig as a parameter
to this function. I'm guessing it is the former as it wouldn't make
sense to even have dm_verity::root_digest_sig if we weren't stashing
it here.

I'd also suggest looking at kmemdup() instead of a kmalloc()/memcpy()
combo.

It's been a while since I looked at this patch in the patchset, so
maybe I'm missing something, but in general we don't want CONFIG_XXX
checks in the kernel, outside of security/, that are specific to a
particular LSM (what happens when multiple LSMs need this?). Please
use CONFIG_SECURITY instead.

What happens if the second call fails, should we clear the
LSM_INTGR_DMV_ROOTHASH state in the LSM?

See my comments about CONFIG_SECURITY above. In fact, I would suggest
moving this up into that part of the file so you only need one #ifdef
block relating to CONFIG_SECURITY.

I would also recommend making a dummy function so we can get rid of
the conditional compilation in @verity_target below. For example:

#ifdef CONFIG_SECURITY
static int verity_finalize(struct dm_target *ti)
{
/* real implementation */
}
#else
static int verity_finalize(struct dm_target *ti)
{
return 0;
}
#endif /* CONFIG_SECURITY */

If you create a dummy verity_finalize() function like above you can
get rid of the #ifdef checks.
