Subject: [PATCH v15 23/25] xfs: check and repair the verity inode flag state
Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 11:24:40 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260814092448.1818082-24-aalbersh@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260814092448.1818082-1-aalbersh@kernel.org>
From: "Darrick J. Wong" <djwong@kernel.org>
If an inode has the incore verity iflag set, make sure that we can
actually activate fsverity on that inode. If activation fails due to
a fsverity metadata validation error, clear the flag. The usage model
for fsverity requires that any program that cares about verity state is
required to call statx/getflags to check that the flag is set after
opening the file, so clearing the flag will not compromise that model.
