The digest lists could easily be measured while reading the digest list
file above in kernel_read_file().  What makes it "critical-data"?  In
the SELinux case, the in memory SELinux policy is being measured and
re-measured to make sure it hasn't been modified.  Is the digest list
file data being measured more than once?

I understand that with your changes to ima_measure_critical_data(),
which are now in next-integrity-testing branch, allow IMA to calculate
the file data hash.

thanks,

Mimi
