Hi Mimi, > Kernel patch "ima: limit the number of ToMToU integrity violations" > prevents superfluous ToMToU violations. Add corresponding LTP tests. > Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-integrity/20250219162131.416719-3-zohar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx/ > Signed-off-by: Mimi Zohar <zohar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Unfortunately tests fail on both mainline kernel and kernel with your patches.
