stable inclusion from stable-5.10.50 commit 53124265fca84159ac4b411f1ea43eba010f974e bugzilla: 174522 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4DNFY
Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=...
--------------------------------
commit 9acc89d31f0c94c8e573ed61f3e4340bbd526d0c upstream.
EVM_ALLOW_METADATA_WRITES is an EVM initialization flag that can be set to temporarily disable metadata verification until all xattrs/attrs necessary to verify an EVM portable signature are copied to the file. This flag is cleared when EVM is initialized with an HMAC key, to avoid that the HMAC is calculated on unverified xattrs/attrs.
Currently EVM unnecessarily denies setting this flag if EVM is initialized with a public key, which is not a concern as it cannot be used to trust xattrs/attrs updates. This patch removes this limitation.
