Commit0d73a55208("ima: re-introduce own integrity cache lock") mistakenly reverted the performance improvement introduced in commit42a4c60319("ima: fix ima_inode_post_setattr"). The unused bit mask was subsequently removed by commit11c60f23ed("integrity: Remove unused macro IMA_ACTION_RULE_FLAGS"). Restore the performance improvement by introducing the new mask IMA_NONACTION_RULE_FLAGS, equal to IMA_NONACTION_FLAGS without IMA_NEW_FILE, which is not a rule-specific flag. Finally, reset IMA_NONACTION_RULE_FLAGS instead of IMA_NONACTION_FLAGS in process_measurement(), if the IMA_CHANGE_ATTR atomic flag is set (after file metadata modification). With this patch, new files for which metadata were modified while they are still open, can be reopened before the last file close (when security.ima is written), since the IMA_NEW_FILE flag is not cleared anymore. Otherwise, appraisal fails because security.ima is missing (files with IMA_NEW_FILE set are an exception).

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 reStructuredText 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.
