Thanks for taking a look at this patch Milan.
Appreciate it.

Sorry for responding late. I was on vacation last week.

My responses below.

Correct. That’s one of the reasons why we don’t want to measure
the whole device mapper table. We don’t want the keys to leave the
device – even for IMA measurements/attestation.

Here is the list of problems, that I can think of, with measuring the 
whole device mapper table:

     1. The table may not output all the important attributes that we
        want to measure, for all the targets we are interested in. (e.g.
        for crypt it doesn’t output many of the integrity/bio attributes
        from crypt_config)

     2. The targets may output sensitive information to the table that
        should not leave the device, even in case of measurement/
        attestation.
        (crypt has keys, other targets may have similar sensitive
        information)

     3. The order of entries in the table maybe different on each
        activation, and not all the entries will be present on each
        activation. The entries may come and go, based on policy
        changes and/or devices getting added/removed from the system.
        This would generate at least 2^n different hashes (where n is the
        number of entries in the table). And attestation server will have
        to keep track of all these permutations. With each entry measured
        separately, the possible hashes that the attestation server needs
        to keep track of will grow more linearly with the number of
        entries, and not exponentially.

     4. With bulk measuring of entire table, we are not giving sys-admins
        any choice on which targets to measure, and which not to measure.
        With the current approach – they have this choice (using the IMA
        policy I introduced in the patch -
        https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11742027/
        and
        https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11742035/

     5. The table would contain the targets that we don’t care about for
        IMA measurements. Measuring the whole table will simply pollute
        the data unnecessarily.

Could you please provide more info – where in DM core? Currently, I have
implemented the functionality to be generic enough to measure any dm
target (not just dm-crypt). It is present in the new module dm-ima.c
which only gets applied when CONFIG_IMA=y. See patch 1/2 of this series.
or https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11743713/

allow_discards translates to ti->num_discard_bios. And I am already 
measuring it. But thanks for validating the need to measure it.

static int crypt_ctr_optional(...)
{
<snip>
		if (!strcasecmp(opt_string, "allow_discards"))
			ti->num_discard_bios = 1;

...

static void ima_measure_dm_crypt_data(...)
{
<snip>
r = ima_append_num_values(ti, "ti_num_discard_bios",
                               ti->num_discard_bios);

Ok. I will measure device size. I will try and find where device size 
attribute is. But if you could point me to it, that would really help.

> IMO it depends on situation (policy).
> 
Do you mean I should conditionally measure the attributes based on some 
policy?
Wouldn’t that be too much granularity?

Or do you mean something else?

I have already introduced a new IMA policy in the patches below, that
can help admins choose which DM targets to measure. I believe further
granularity is not needed, and may pose security risks.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11742027/
and
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11742035/

The optional parameters like no_read_workqueue, no_write_workqueue, 
same_cpu_crypt, submit_from_crypt_cpus, are part of cc->flags. And I am 
already measuring cc->flags.

Please let me know if I missed any other important parameters, and I 
will be happy to measure those. (my series is based on 5.9.0-rc2 in IMA
repo, but its possible that I have missed any new attributes in the dm
repos that are not upstreamed to the main repo)

static int crypt_ctr_optional(...)
{
<snip>
		else if (!strcasecmp(opt_string, "same_cpu_crypt"))
			set_bit(DM_CRYPT_SAME_CPU, &cc->flags);

		else if (!strcasecmp(opt_string, "submit_from_crypt_cpus"))
			set_bit(DM_CRYPT_NO_OFFLOAD, &cc->flags);
		else if (!strcasecmp(opt_string, "no_read_workqueue"))
			set_bit(DM_CRYPT_NO_READ_WORKQUEUE, &cc->flags);
		else if (!strcasecmp(opt_string, "no_write_workqueue"))
			set_bit(DM_CRYPT_NO_WRITE_WORKQUEUE, &cc->flags);

...
static void ima_measure_dm_crypt_data(...)
{
<snip>
	r = ima_append_num_values(ti, "flags", cc->flags);

Good point. I thought about using the device path instead of
major:minor. But major:minor seemed the standard way of referring to the
device name in dm code, so I used that instead of device path.

Do you think device path is more apt to use in the IMA measurement context?

If so, do you know a standard way of getting device path from 
major:minor? I will also try to find it myself.
