If you can determine that writing the policy should fail and then
detect that it actually did fail, the latter option is more complete.

Cat'ing the file doesn't work if the policy has to be signed. I
haven't tried writing the policy pathname, when the file doesn't
require it to be signed.  There's no reason that it wouldn't work.

Yes, creating a filesystem on a loop device should work.

eg.
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test.img count=40960
$ mkfs -t ext3 -q /tmp/test.img
$ sudo mount -o loop=/dev/loop0 /tmp/test.img /mnt
$ sudo cp --preserve=xattr /usr/bin/ls /mnt/
$ getfattr -n security.ima -e hex --dump /mnt/ls

# file: mnt/ls

Even without adding IMA-appraisal tests, updating/cleaning up the IMA-
measurement tests is good.

thank you!
