Subject: [PATCH 1/2] configfs: move CONFIGFS_MAGIC definition to magic.h
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2026 14:35:15 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260818-configfs-v1-1-a2329043cf86@cloudflare.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260818-configfs-v1-0-a2329043cf86@cloudflare.com>
IMA shouldn't measure or appraise configfs, but currently does because
it's missing from the default exclusion policies. Move CONFIGFS_MAGIC to
magic.h to expose the file system's magic to IMA, as well as other userland
applications.
