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.

EVM modifying IMA bits crosses the boundary between EVM and IMA. There is already an IMA post_setattr hook. IMA could reset its own bit there. If necessary EVM could export as a function it's status info.

Agreed, but IMA could call an EVM function.

When would IMA read the EVM flag? Who would reset the flag? At what point would it be reset? Just as EVM shouldn't be resetting the IMA flag, IMA shouldn't be resetting the EVM flag.
