    ima: Handle -ESTALE returned by ima_filter_rule_match() · c7423dbd
    GUO Zihua authored
    IMA relies on the blocking LSM policy notifier callback to update the
    LSM based IMA policy rules.
    
    When SELinux update its policies, IMA would be notified and starts
    updating all its lsm rules one-by-one. During this time, -ESTALE would
    be returned by ima_filter_rule_match() if it is called with a LSM rule
    that has not yet been updated. In ima_match_rules(), -ESTALE is not
    handled, and the LSM rule is considered a match, causing extra files
    to be measured by IMA.
    
    Fix it by re-initializing a temporary rule if -ESTALE is returned by
    ima_filter_rule_match(). The origin rule in the rule list would be
    updated by the LSM policy notifier callback.
