Sure, I can change the code accordingly.

If initramfs is being unmounted, the boot_verified property will never be TRUE,
which is an expected behavior. In an actual use case, we can leverage this
property to only enable files in initramfs during the booting stage, and later
switch
to another policy without the boot_verified property after unmounting the
initramfs.
This approach helps keep the allowed set of files minimum at each stage.

I agree switching to RCU will be better, I will change this part.

Yes After reading the RCU documentation, I realized that we were mistaken.
I will place the entire eval function into the critical section instead.
