ima_queue_staged_delete_all(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, meet ima_queue_staged_delete_all(9) — the Kernel API Manual entry for Delete staged measurements. 💅 this is the cleanup girly. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ima_queue_staged_delete_all (void );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• void — no arguments. literally none, bestie 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the way this one works: it moves staged measurements to a temporary list, ima_measurements_trim, and updates the number of records and the binary run-time size accordingly. then — finally — it deletes the measurements in the temporary list. slay. 💖

and plot twist: it refuses to delete staged measurements if measurement is suspended, so that dump can be done in a lockless way and user space is notified about staged measurements being carried over to the secondary kernel, so that it does not save them twice. periodt. 🔥

💜 RETURN 💜

• Zero on success, a negative value otherwise. that's the whole vibe check. 😌
