Subject: [PATCH] ima: setting security.ima to fix security.evm for a file with IMA signature
Date: Tue,  9 Sep 2025 12:19:53 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250909041954.1626914-1-coxu@redhat.com> (raw)

When both IMA and EVM fix modes are enabled, accessing a file with IMA
signature won't cause security.evm to be fixed. But this doesn't happen
to a file with correct IMA hash already set because accessing it will
cause setting security.ima again which triggers fixing security.evm
thanks to security_inode_post_setxattr->evm_update_evmxattr.

Let's use the same mechanism to fix security.evm for a file with IMA
signature.
