Yap, sorry, I missed FMODE_WRITE_IOCTL when I made this suggestion. open mode 3 seems to be reserved to some special case of ioctl to floppy block device. I guess it would be simpler for you to accommodate for the special case in ima_calc_file_hash() by masking out O_ACCMODE from flags before adding O_RDONLY. Thanks, Amir.
