I found another occurrence:

static int xattr_verify(enum ima_hooks func, struct integrity_iint_cache *iint,
			struct evm_ima_xattr_data *xattr_value, int xattr_len,
			enum integrity_status *status, const char **cause)
{

[...]

		rc = integrity_digsig_verify(INTEGRITY_KEYRING_IMA,
					     (const char *)xattr_value,
					     xattr_len, hash.digest,
					     hash.hdr.length);

Should I do two patches?

Thanks
