[RFC PATCH 09/15] ima: only insert at inode creation time

From: Eric Paris
Date: Fri Dec 04 2009 - 15:49:19 EST


iints are supposed to be allocated when an inode is allocated (during
security_inode_alloc()) But we have code which will attempt to allocate
an iint during measurement calls. If we couldn't allocate the iint and we
cared, we should have died during security_inode_alloc(). Not make the
code more complex and less efficient.
