Along with creating a filesystem including device mapper features like dm_verity (see verity_blocks) or dm_crypt/dm_integrity (see luks) there is always the question where to store the metadata information required to setup the device map. This can include information about blocksizes, offset addresses and more. The create_verification_metadata() method allows to write a signed custom data block of a documented format at the end of the given block special which stores this type of information such that tools at boot time gets the opportunity to read this information. In this commit only information connected to the dm_verity feature activated via the verity_blocks attribute will be part of the verification block. With future changes other data might be added |
