Great.  Moving forward it'd be awesome if you could work to get your
verity FEC support regression tests into cryptsetup's tests.  We need a
way to verify future DM and/or other kernel changes don't somehow cause
this FEC support to regress.

Also, I know you said you'd be getting Milan a veritysetup patch soon.
How are things going on that?  Ideally that'll land in conjunction with
the kernel's dm-verity FEC support.

No problem, like I said I'll be reviewing the code further but at this
point your changes seem to be on-track for upstream Linux 4.5
inclusion.
