Subject: [PATCH 0/4] statx: expose the fs-verity bit
This patchset exposes the verity bit (a.k.a. FS_VERITY_FL) via statx().
This is useful because it allows applications to check whether a file is
a verity file without opening it. Opening a verity file can be
expensive because the fsverity_info is set up on open, which involves
parsing metadata and optionally verifying a cryptographic signature.
This is analogous to how various other bits are exposed through both
FS_IOC_GETFLAGS and statx(), e.g. the encrypt bit.
This patchset applies to v5.4-rc5.
Eric Biggers (4):
statx: define STATX_ATTR_VERITY
ext4: support STATX_ATTR_VERITY
f2fs: support STATX_ATTR_VERITY
docs: fs-verity: mention statx() support
