To summarize, we need to disambiguate the 1805, as both ima_parse_rule() and ima_audit_measurement() are using the same number with different formats. The main usage of 1805 that we are aware of is ima_audit_measurement(). Yet the "type=" name for ima_audit_measurement() should be INTEGRITY_IMA_AUDIT, not INTEGRITY_RULE. option 1: breaks both uses 1805 - INTEGRITY_IMA_AUDIT - ima_audit_measurement() 1806 - INTEGRITY_POLICY_RULE - ima_parse_rule() option 2: breaks the most common usage 1805 - INTEGRITY_RULE - ima_parse_rule() 1806 - INTEGRITY_IMA_AUDIT - ima_audit_measurement() option 3: leaves the most common usage with the wrong name, and breaks the other less common usage 1805 - INTEGRITY_RULE - ima_audit_measurement() 1806 - INTEGRITY_POLICY_RULE - ima_parse_rule() So option 3 is the best option?
