Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 1/7] integrity: Introduce struct evm_hmac_xattr


Hello Mimi,

Thanks for your review!

The patch at the end of the email implements your suggestions, what do
you think?

Ok, I renamed it to struct evm_xattr.

IMHO IMA and EVM's practice of mixing and matching structs to compose
its data structures makes the code somewhat confusing and harder to see
where the actual storage used by a given field is actually allocated.

But I don't feel strongly about it, so the patch at the end of this
emails defines it as:

struct evm_xattr {
	struct evm_ima_xattr_data data;
	u8 digest[SHA1_DIGEST_SIZE];
} __packed;

Another disadvantage of the above is that you have two fields pointing
to the same place: evm_xattr.data.data and evm_xattr.digest.

> Please leave the new structure in integrity.h.

I think that moving the structure in evm.h is helpful. It immediately
conveys that nothing outside of security/integrity/evm/ interprets the
xattr data in the way defined by struct evm_xattr.

But I also don't feel strongly about it, so I moved it to integrity.h.

Subject: [PATCH v4 1/7] integrity: Introduce struct evm_xattr

Even though struct evm_ima_xattr_data includes a fixed-size array to hold a
SHA1 digest, most of the code ignores the array and uses the struct to mean
"type indicator followed by data of unspecified size" and tracks the real
size of what the struct represents in a separate length variable.

The only exception to that is the EVM code, which correctly uses the
definition of struct evm_ima_xattr_data.

This patch makes this explicit in the code by removing the length
specification from the array in struct evm_ima_xattr_data. It also changes
the name of the element from digest to data, since in most places the array
doesn't hold a digest.

A separate struct evm_xattr is introduced, with the original definition of
evm_ima_xattr_data to be used in the places that actually expect that
definition.
