[PATCH v4 04/11] ima: Move ima_reset_appraise_flags() call to post hooks

From: Roberto Sassu
Date: Fri Mar 05 2021 - 10:21:07 EST


ima_inode_setxattr() and ima_inode_removexattr() hooks are called before an
operation is performed. Thus, ima_reset_appraise_flags() should not be
called there, as flags might be unnecessarily reset if the operation is
denied.

This patch introduces the post hooks ima_inode_post_setxattr() and
ima_inode_post_removexattr(), and adds the call to
ima_reset_appraise_flags() in the new functions.
