Subject: [PATCH v5 08/13] fsverity: add support for info in fs-specific part of inode
Date: Sun, 10 Aug 2025 00:57:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250810075706.172910-9-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250810075706.172910-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>

Add an inode_info_offs field to struct fsverity_operations, and update
fs/verity/ to support it.  When set to a nonzero value, it specifies the
offset to the fsverity_info pointer within the filesystem-specific part
of the inode structure, to be used instead of inode::i_verity_info.

Since this makes inode::i_verity_info no longer necessarily used, update
comments that mentioned it.

This is a prerequisite for a later commit that removes
inode::i_verity_info, saving memory and improving cache efficiency on
filesystems that don't support fsverity.

Subject: [PATCH v5 08/13] fsverity: add support for info in fs-specific part of inode
Date: Sun, 10 Aug 2025 00:57:01 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250810075706.172910-9-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250810075706.172910-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>

Add an inode_info_offs field to struct fsverity_operations, and update
fs/verity/ to support it.  When set to a nonzero value, it specifies the
offset to the fsverity_info pointer within the filesystem-specific part
of the inode structure, to be used instead of inode::i_verity_info.

Since this makes inode::i_verity_info no longer necessarily used, update
comments that mentioned it.

This is a prerequisite for a later commit that removes
inode::i_verity_info, saving memory and improving cache efficiency on
filesystems that don't support fsverity.
