The IMA measurement list is currently being carried across kexec, so obviously a buffer is being allocated for it. IMA not allocating memory for the measurment list is not the problem statement. Please concisely provide the problem statement, explaining why IMA needs to allocate the buffer. > The function should handle the scenario where > the kexec load is called multiple times. Currently the buffer is being freed with the kexec 'unload'. With this patch IMA is allocating a buffer for the measurement list, which needs to be freed independently of the kexec 'unload'. > Implement a function to allocate buffer of size kexec_segment_size at > kexec load.
