[PATCH v6 04/17] fs: uapi: define verity bit for FS_IOC_GETFLAGS

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@kernel.org>
Date: 2019-07-01 15:34:26
Also in: linux-ext4, linux-f2fs-devel, linux-fscrypt, linux-fsdevel, linux-integrity
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

From: Eric Biggers <redacted>

Add FS_VERITY_FL to the flags for FS_IOC_GETFLAGS, so that applications
can easily determine whether a file is a verity file at the same time as
they're checking other file flags.  This flag will be gettable only;
FS_IOC_SETFLAGS won't allow setting it, since an ioctl must be used
instead to provide more parameters.

This flag matches the on-disk bit that was already allocated for ext4.
