Subject: [PATCH 1/1] IMA event log trimming
Date: Tue,  2 Dec 2025 15:28:56 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251202232857.8211-2-chenste@linux.microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251202232857.8211-1-chenste@linux.microsoft.com>

This patch is for trimming N entries of the IMA event logs as well as
cleaning the hash table.

It provides a userspace interface ima_trim_log that can be used to input
number N to let kernel to trim N entries of IMA event logs. When read
this interface, it returns number of entries trimmed last tim.

A mutex ima_trim_list_mutex is provided to allow one trimming request
at a time.
