[PATCH 3/3] dm ima: add documentation target update event

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The dm_target_update event can be triggered by targets to remeasure their
state to reflect that change also in IMA.

This is event is currently only supported by verity.
