The integrity_kernel_read() call in ima_calc_file_hash_tfm() can return a value of 0 before all bytes of the file are read. A value of 0 would normally indicate an EOF. This has been observed if a user process is causing a file appraisal and is terminated with a SIGTERM signal. The most common occurrence of seeing the problem is if a shutdown or systemd reload is initiated while files are being appraised. The problem is similar to commit <f5e1040196db> (ima: always return negative code for error) that fixed the problem in ima_calc_file_hash_atfm().

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 Restructured Text 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.
