Re: [PATCH v5 3/7] IMA: add hook to measure critical data

Including "data_source" here isn't quite right.  "data source" should
only be added in the first patch which uses it, not here.   When adding
it please shorten the field description to "kernel data source".   The
longer explanation can be included in the longer function description.

*Question*
Do you mean the parameter @event_data_source should be removed from this
patch? And then later added in patch 7/7 – where SeLinux uses it?

Data source support doesn't belong in this patch.  Each patch should do
one logical thing and only that one thing.  This patch is adding
support for measuring critical data.  The data source patch will limit
the critical data being measured.

Other than updating the data source list in the documentation,
definitely do not add data source support to the SELinux patch.

thanks,

Mimi

Makes sense, I will move the data_source from this patch to a
separate one before SeLinux.
And the SeLinux patch will simply update the documentation.

Thanks Mimi.
