Subject: [PATCH 02/10] dm-ima: remove broken last_target_measured logic
Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 20:22:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260414002244.1917447-3-bmarzins@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260414002244.1917447-1-bmarzins@redhat.com>
When it ran out of space for adding more targets to the ima_buf,
dm_ima_measure_on_table_load() would measure the dm device early, and
then add the rest of the targets and measure it again.
last_target_measured was intended to flag the last target measured so
that the device wouldn't get remeasured, if no new targets were added
after the early measurement. But the way to code works, the dm device
will never be measured early unless there is another target to add to
the ima_buf. Instead, if there is only one more target to add, that
target was getting added to the ima_buf, but it wasn't getting
remeasured, because last_target_measured was set. Since
dm_ima_measure_on_table_load() only measures a device early when there
are more targets to add, the final measurement must always happen, and
last_target_measured is unneeded.
