But it does. in evm_calc_hmac_or_hash() => hmac_add_misc():

        hmac_misc.uid = from_kuid(&init_user_ns, inode->i_uid);
        hmac_misc.gid = from_kgid(&init_user_ns, inode->i_gid);

I guess as far as EVM is concerned, it should always be interested in the
absolute uig/gid values of the inode.

Thanks,
