Hi Kees,
This patch fails during booting of my system - see below.
On 2020-07-07 1:19 a.m., Kees Cook wrote:
FIRMWARE_PREALLOC_BUFFER is a "how", not a "what", and confuses the LSMs
that are interested in filtering between types of things. The "how"
should be an internal detail made uninteresting to the LSMs.
Fixes: a098ecd2fa7d ("firmware: support loading into a pre-allocated buffer")
Fixes: fd90bc559bfb ("ima: based on policy verify firmware signatures (pre-allocated buffer)")
Fixes: 4f0496d8ffa3 ("ima: based on policy warn about loading firmware (pre-allocated buffer)")

The assumption that *buf is always NULL when id !=
READING_FIRMWARE_PREALLOC_BUFFER doesn't appear to be correct.
I get unhandled page faults due to this change on boot.
