Hi Aaron, Was the code compile tested? Unfortunately, I could not apply the series cleanly on top of the latest 5.17-rc1. I did rebase the patches and fixed minor compile time failures as well a few small checkpatch errors. I have pushed the series to https://github.com/allenpais/Linux/commits/refactor_module_v3 [The series now is based on 84bfcc0b6994 2022-01-11 Merge tag 'integrity-v5.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/zohar/linux-integrity] So far I could only manage to compile test the patches. Will test it on BM(x86/arm) in a day or two.
