Yes - at policy load we can map a keyring name to a keyring number.

But at runtime we still need to know if the keyring parameter passed to 
the IMA hook function is configured to be measured.

void ima_post_key_create_or_update(struct key *keyring, struct key *key,
				   unsigned long flags, bool create);
{
    => Get the keyring number for the given "keyring".
    => Check if the keyring number is in the configured IMA policy.
    => If yes, measure the key.
    => Else, do nothing.
}

Did I misunderstand what you had stated?

I agree - I'll take a look at this.

Agree.

Agree.
