When EVM_ALLOW_METADATA_WRITES is set, EVM allows any operation on metadata. Its main purpose is to allow users to freely set metadata when they are protected by a portable signature, until the HMAC key is loaded.
However, IMA is not notified about metadata changes and, after the first appraisal, always allows access to the files without checking metadata again. This patch checks in evm_reset_status() if EVM_ALLOW_METADATA WRITES is enabled and if it is, sets the IMA_CHANGE_XATTR/ATTR bits depending on the operation performed. At the next appraisal, metadata are revalidated. This patch also adds a call to evm_reset_status() in evm_inode_post_setattr() so that EVM won't return the cached status the next time appraisal is performed.
