[LTP] [PATCH v1 0/1] ima: Add test for selinux measurement

[Petr Vorel]

Hi Lakshmi,

Thanks for your patch. FYI I'll try to have look ASAP, but as there is LTP
freeze and work needed to review fixes before release I'll probably review this
after the release (1, max. 2 weeks).

Could you please have a look at fix planned to be part of the release?

Kind regards,
Petr

I put link to LTP patchwork to avoid the confusion.

Thanks for adding this info. It'd be great if it were part of kernel commit
message and also added as a comment in the test itself (we don't want to get it
lost).

BTW LTP has 2 kind ways of handling of kernel versions:

* fixes which are meant to be backported to the stable trees:
In C API it looks like (here also with CVE entry):
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/kernel/syscalls/bpf/bpf_prog03.c#L187
.tags = (const struct tst_tag[]) {
		{"linux-git", "95a762e2c8c9"},
		{"CVE", "2017-16995"},
		{}
This is not part of shell API, but I'll add it after the release. Thus we don't
want to loose this info.

* new kernel features, which are likely not to be backported
You either have some way to detect this feature is presented (ideally) or you
specify kernel version since it should be run
This is used in shell API as:
https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/testcases/network/tcp_cc/bbr02.sh#L8
TST_MIN_KVER="4.13"
