Mimi, Roberto,

If I recall correctly, we've discussed the process measurement issue
before, and I thought it was being resolved.  What is the current
status on a fix?

I don't recall discussing the ima_file_free() issue, but it looks like
the syzbot reports go back to 2024; is there a fix under development
for that?

Thanks.

I looked at some of the reports. My impression (can be wrong) is that the
syzbot report involves us also when a filesystem gets stuck.

For example, if you see:

https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=CrashReport&x=160ddb02580000

PID 6887 cannot progress because iint->mutex is likely held by PID 6895.
The last function I see in PID 6895 is io_schedule() which suggests me
that there is an I/O wait that could not be satisfied. PID 6888 cannot progress
as well because is waiting for jfs_get_block(), but PID 6895 is past that
(possibly holding the needed lock).

Sure, it is possible that there is a lock inversion that I missed, but I didn't
find it yet.

Jarkko, David,

Do we have a fix for the keyring_clear() issue, or is it not a real problem?

I'll take analyzing this to my todo list for next week (post first PR).

I'm actually doing something to this already: trying to write a
simplified reproducer. But yeah most likely still will take up until
some point next week.
