Please limit the changes in this patch to renaming the functions and/or

Thanks for the feedback Mimi.

I'll split this into 2 patches:

PATCH 1: Rename files + rename CONFIG
PATCH 2: Update IMA hook to utilize early boot data measurement.

I'm referring to introducing the "measure_payload_hash" flag.  I assume
this is to indicate whether the buffer should be hashed or not.

Example 1: ima_alloc_key_entry() and ima_alloc_data_entry(0 comparison
-static struct ima_key_entry *ima_alloc_key_entry(struct key *keyring,
-                                                const void *payload,
-                                                size_t payload_len)
-{
+static struct ima_data_entry *ima_alloc_data_entry(const char *event_name,
+                                                  const void *payload,
+                                                  size_t payload_len,
+                                                  const char *event_data,
+                                                  enum ima_hooks func,
+                                                  bool measure_payload_hash)  <====
+{

          if (queued)
                  return;

But in general, as much as possible function and file name changes
should be done independently of other changes.

thanks,

I agree - but in this case, Tushar's patch series on adding support for
"Critical Data" measurement has already introduced
"measure_payload_hash" flag. His patch updates
"process_buffer_measurement()" to take this new flag and measure hash of
the given data.

My patches extend that to queuing the early boot requests and processing
them after a custom IMA policy is loaded.

If you still think "measure_payload_hash" flag should be introduced in
the queuing change as a separate patch I'll split the patches further.
Please let me know.

There's a major problem if his changes add new function arguments
without modifying all the callers of the function.  I assume the kernel
would fail to compile properly.

Tushar's patch series does update all the existing callers of process_buffer_measurement() to handle the new arguments. His patch series is self contained, and builds and works fine.


Changing the function parameters to include "measure_payload_hash"
needs to be a separate patch, whether it is part of his patch set or
yours.


ok - I'll split the queuing patch to include "measure_payload_hash" in a separate patch.

thanks,
