+ Mimi, linux-integrity

Ok, just to understand before posting v4, the code looks like this:

+const struct lsm_id integrity_lsmid = {
+	.name = "integrity",
+	.id = LSM_ID_IMA,
+};
+
 DEFINE_LSM(integrity) = {
 	.name = "integrity",
-	.init = integrity_iintcache_init,
+	.init = integrity_lsm_init,
 	.order = LSM_ORDER_LAST,
 };
 
Is it ok?

Thanks

Roberto
