From 947191ac8caba85e25e0e036b0f097fee9e817f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Biggers Date: Fri, 15 Jan 2021 10:18:18 -0800 Subject: fs-verity: support reading descriptor with ioctl Add support for FS_VERITY_METADATA_TYPE_DESCRIPTOR to FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA. This allows a userspace server program to retrieve the fs-verity descriptor of a file for serving to a client which implements fs-verity compatible verification. See the patch which introduced FS_IOC_READ_VERITY_METADATA for more details. "fs-verity descriptor" here means only the part that userspace cares about because it is hashed to produce the file digest. It doesn't include the signature which ext4 and f2fs append to the fsverity_descriptor struct when storing it on-disk, since that way of storing the signature is an implementation detail. The next patch adds a separate metadata_type value for retrieving the signature separately. This has been tested using a new xfstest which calls this ioctl via a new subcommand for the 'fsverity' program from fsverity-utils.
