[PATCH v2] dm ima: updates to grammar and some details in documentation

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

 



The grammar for the events dm_device_remove, device_resume and
dm_table_clear did not include the no_data entry when device data
and hash are missing.

For the device uuid or name "=" is also escaped with a "\".

Add a note that dm_table_load might split its target measurements over
multiple IMA events.

v2:
- include also device name and uuid in grammar for no_data
- fixed spelling mistakes
