2020-11-16fs-verity: remove filenames from file commentsEric Biggers1-1/+1
Embedding the file path inside kernel source code files isn't particularly useful as often files are moved around and the paths become incorrect. checkpatch.pl warns about this since v5.10-rc1.

2020-01-15fs-verity: use mempool for hash requestsEric Biggers1-25/+73
When initializing an fs-verity hash algorithm, also initialize a mempool that contains a single preallocated hash request object. Then replace the direct calls to ahash_request_alloc() and ahash_request_free() with allocating and freeing from this mempool. This eliminates the possibility of the allocation failing, which is desirable for the I/O path. This doesn't cause deadlocks because there's no case where multiple hash requests are needed at a time to make forward progress.

2019-08-13fs-verity: add SHA-512 supportEric Biggers1-0/+5
Add SHA-512 support to fs-verity. This is primarily a demonstration of the trivial changes needed to support a new hash algorithm in fs-verity; most users will still use SHA-256, due to the smaller space required to store the hashes. But some users may prefer SHA-512. Reviewed-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu> Reviewed-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
2019-07-29fs-verity: add Kconfig and the helper functions for hashingEric Biggers1-0/+275
Add the beginnings of the fs/verity/ support layer, including the Kconfig option and various helper functions for hashing. To start, only SHA-256 is supported, but other hash algorithms can easily be added.
