That is a good question. I went this way as it did not feel right to me that the kernel would depend on periodic, reliable userspace functionality to stay running (we would have a circular dependency). The thing is, once the kernel starts to run low on memory, it may kill that periodic daemon flushing the data for reasons unrelated to IMA. -- Janne
