In preparation for moving IMA and EVM to the LSM infrastructure, introduce the inode_post_setattr hook. At inode_setattr hook, EVM verifies the file's existing HMAC value. At inode_post_setattr, EVM re-calculates the file's HMAC based on the modified file attributes and other file metadata. Other LSMs could similarly take some action after successful file attribute change. The new hook cannot return an error and cannot cause the operation to be reverted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
