[v6,13/25] security: Introduce file_release hook

Commit Message

Roberto Sassu Nov. 20, 2023, 5:33 p.m. UTC

From: Roberto Sassu <[e-mail]>

In preparation for moving IMA and EVM to the LSM infrastructure, introduce
the file_release hook.

IMA calculates at file close the new digest of the file content and writes
it to security.ima, so that appraisal at next file access succeeds.

LSMs could also take some action before the last reference of a file is
released.

The new hook cannot return an error and cannot cause the operation to be
reverted.
