The patch titled ima: allow disabling IMA at runtime has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was ima-allow-disabling-ima-at-runtime.patch This patch was dropped because it is obsolete The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: ima: allow disabling IMA at runtime From: Kyle McMartin <kyle@xxxxxxxxxx> Due to a memory leak in IMA that we're currently debugging in Fedora rawhide, it would be nice to be able to disable that support at runtime. Currently it's only able to be built in, and there's no toggle to avoid initializing it. Provide one, in order to enhance debuggability. If a user can reboot a machine and edit its command line, one can do a far sight worse things than disabling a security precaution.
