Subject: [PATCH v2 1/5] fsverity: strip FS_VERITY_FL from FS_IOC_SETFLAGS
Date: Thu,  5 Nov 2026 12:55:26 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105115532.613467-2-aalbersh@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105115532.613467-1-aalbersh@kernel.org>

The common use of FS_IOC_GETFLAGS/SETFLAGS is get-modify-set loop.
Filesystems could return verity status with GETFLAGS, attempting to then
pass FS_VERITY_FL to SETFLAGS is not allowed.

The ext4 and f2fs already treat FS_VERITY_FL in the set path as no-op,
however, BTRFS returns -EOPNOTSUPP. So, the modification of other flags
doesn't work on BTRFS for fsverity inodes.

Fix it for BTRFS and anyone else, the ext4 and f2fs masking becomes
no-op. The file_get/setattr() path is fine here as this flag is cleared
right before fileattr_set_prepare(). The future fsverity support in XFS
would also need it.
