From 77fa6f314f0376176ef6bf3d84403e0d8b54ce28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roberto Sassu Date: Thu, 15 Feb 2024 11:30:58 +0100 Subject: security: Introduce inode_post_setattr hook In preparation for moving IMA and EVM to the LSM infrastructure, introduce the inode_post_setattr hook. At inode_setattr hook, EVM verifies the file's existing HMAC value. At inode_post_setattr, EVM re-calculates the file's HMAC based on the modified file attributes and other file metadata. Other LSMs could similarly take some action after successful file attribute change. The new hook cannot return an error and cannot cause the operation to be reverted.
