Subject: [PATCH v2 3/5] btrfs: use I_VERITY_BUILDING instead of private flags
Date: Thu, 5 Nov 2026 12:55:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261105115532.613467-4-aalbersh@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261105115532.613467-1-aalbersh@kernel.org>
Now that the VFS tracks an inode whose Merkle tree is under construction
via I_VERITY_BUILDING and handles the concurrent-enable guard in the
generic fs-verity enable path, drop the inode runtime flags that
duplicated this.
btrfs only used BTRFS_INODE_VERITY_IN_PROGRESS internally, so remove it
outright.
