I don't understand the above paragraph. Should it say "type of digest" instead
of "type of signature"? And what does specifying the digest type do, exactly?

The documentation should explain the differences between the different signature
types, especially when a user would need to choose one or another.

This says it requires version 3 signatures, however it then uses "ima-sigv2".

It looks like this is falling back to SHA-1 if the xattr is invalid:
int __ro_after_init ima_hash_algo = HASH_ALGO_SHA1;
How about falling back to a more secure hash algorithm, or returning an error?

'uint' is unusual in kernel code; please use 'unsigned int' instead.

This appears to be assuming that the appraise_type option is given after
digest_type rather than befoore, as digest_type is what sets the
IMA_VERITY_REQUIRED flag. Is this intentional? Does the order of options
matter in IMA rules, and if so where are the ordering requirements documented?
Also, it looks like this is allowing appraise_type=imasig or
appraise_type=imasig|modsig in combination with digest_type=verity. Is that
intentional? What is the use case for these combinations?

Is this struct also used with version 3, despite having v2 in its name?
The comment is not clear.
