This is a repost of patches 1 - 4 of the ima-i_readcount patch set rebased against security-testing/#next, as requested a while ago. The patches are also available from: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/ima-2.6.git/#next This patchset separates the incrementing/decrementing of the i_readcount, in the VFS layer, from other IMA functionality, by replacing the current ima_counts_get() call with i_readcount_inc(). Its unclear whether this call to increment i_readcount should be made earlier, like i_writecount. Currently the call is situated immediately after the switch from put_filp() to fput() for cleanup. Mimi Mimi Zohar (4): IMA: convert i_readcount to atomic IMA: define readcount functions IMA: maintain i_readcount in the VFS layer IMA: remove IMA imbalance checking fs/file_table.c | 5 +- fs/open.c | 3 +- include/linux/fs.h | 23 ++++++- include/linux/ima.h | 6 -- security/integrity/ima/ima_iint.c | 5 -- security/integrity/ima/ima_main.c | 130 ++++--------------------------------- 6 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 132 deletions(-) -- 1.7.3.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
