Sorry for the late review. I just started dusting off my i_version
rework, and noticed that IMA still has unaddressed problems here.

Barf. What about procfs? This looks like something that will very
subject to bitrot.

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of this scheme. It seems quite invasive,
and doesn't really seem to address the stated problem well.

The warning itself seems ok, but I don't really see what's wrong with
performing remeasurement when the mtime changes on filesystems that
don't have SB_I_VERSION set. Surely that's better than limiting it to an
initial measurement?

Maybe I just don't understand what you're really trying to achieve here.
