It means that we're not informing the IMA audit layer when we open a  
disk cache file for writing. Unfortunately for us, the kernel is  
telling it when that file gets closed, and so you get an imbalance  
between opens and closes. Normally, it would be simple to fix this,  
but sadly the IMA API can only be called from GPL'd code. So, at  
present, all we can say is that the OpenAFS cache manager is  
incompatible with kernels built with IMA support.

Fortunately, as you're building your own kernel, there is a simple  
solution - just disable IMA when you configure your kernel build.

Cheers,

Simon.
