[PATCH] dm: Don't warn if IMA_DISABLE_HTABLE is not enabled
From: Jon Hunter
Date: Fri Oct 31 2025 - 11:35:15 EST
Commit f1cd6cb24b6b ("dm ima: add a warning in dm_init if duplicate ima
events are not measured") added a warning message if CONFIG_IMA is
enabled but CONFIG_IMA_DISABLE_HTABLE is not to inform users. When
enabling CONFIG_IMA, CONFIG_IMA_DISABLE_HTABLE is disabled by default
and so warning is seen. Therefore, it seems more appropriate to make
this an INFO level message than warning. If this truly is a warning,
then maybe CONFIG_IMA_DISABLE_HTABLE should default to y if CONFIG_IMA
is enabled.

We have some tests that check for kernel warnings and whenever we
stumbled across a new warning we see if there is a way to fix it.
For this one it seems a bit odd to always warn for something that
defaults to disabled. If necessary we can ignore it, but I wanted
to see if this would be acceptable first.
