From 3ad2522c64cff1f5aebb987b00683268f0cc7c29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2019 13:41:38 -0700 Subject: statx: define STATX_ATTR_VERITY Add a statx attribute bit STATX_ATTR_VERITY which will be set if the file has fs-verity enabled. This is the statx() equivalent of FS_VERITY_FL which is returned by FS_IOC_GETFLAGS. This is useful because it allows applications to check whether a file is a verity file without opening it. Opening a verity file can be expensive because the fsverity_info is set up on open, which involves parsing metadata and optionally verifying a cryptographic signature. This is analogous to how various other bits are exposed through both FS_IOC_GETFLAGS and statx(), e.g. the encrypt bit. Reviewed-by: Andreas Dilger Acked-by: Darrick J.
