From 2bd30b8dc75b823dd7bbef9d7bc68e1fd7ecee5c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sang-Heon Jeon Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 01:18:14 +0900 Subject: coccinelle: alloc_cast: drop removed allocators - pci_alloc_consistent() and pci_zalloc_consistent() were removed by commit 7968778914e5 ("PCI: Remove the deprecated "pci-dma-compat.h" API") - kmem_alloc() was removed by commit f078d4ea8276 ("xfs: convert kmem_alloc() to kmalloc()") - kmem_zalloc() was removed by commit 10634530f7ba ("xfs: convert kmem_zalloc() to kzalloc()") - kmem_zone_alloc() and kmem_zone_zalloc() were removed by commit bae633a4a283 ("xfs: remove xfs_zone_{alloc,zalloc} helpers") So drop them from the rules. No functional change.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +Verity files +------------ + +ext4 supports fs-verity, which is a filesystem feature that provides +Merkle tree based hashing for individual readonly files. Most of +fs-verity is common to all filesystems that support it; see +:ref:`Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst ` for the +fs-verity documentation. However, the on-disk layout of the verity +metadata is filesystem-specific. On ext4, the verity metadata is +stored after the end of the file data itself, in the following format: + +- Zero-padding to the next 65536-byte boundary. This padding need not + actually be allocated on-disk, i.e. it may be a hole. + +- The Merkle tree, as documented in + :ref:`Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst + `, with the tree levels stored in order from + root to leaf, and the tree blocks within each level stored in their + natural order. + +- Zero-padding to the next filesystem block boundary. + +- The verity descriptor, as documented in + :ref:`Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst `, + with optionally appended signature blob. + +- Zero-padding to the next offset that is 4 bytes before a filesystem + block boundary. + +- The size of the verity descriptor in bytes, as a 4-byte little + endian integer. + +Verity inodes have EXT4_VERITY_FL set, and they must use extents, i.e. +EXT4_EXTENTS_FL must be set and EXT4_INLINE_DATA_FL must be clear. +They can have EXT4_ENCRYPT_FL set, in which case the verity metadata +is encrypted as well as the data itself. + +Verity files cannot have blocks allocated past the end of the verity +metadata. + +Verity and DAX are not compatible and attempts to set both of these flags +on a file will fail. -- cgit v1.3.1
