I am not familiar with this, so the following statement may be inaccurate: I suspect that modifying the `i_flags` field through `inode->i_flags |= S_IMA;` in `ima_inode_get` may cause a race, as this patch removes the write lock for inodes in process_measurement(). For example, swapon() adds the S_SWAPFILE tag under inode write lock's protection. Perhaps this initialization tag(`S_IMA`) can also be moved into inode's security blob.
