Can you elaborate on why LSMs need this information?

Please split fs/verity/ changes and security/ changes into separate patches, if
possible.

If a non-const inode is needed, please propagate that into the callers rather
than randomly casting away the const.

The digest isn't meaningful without knowing the hash algorithm it uses.
It's available here, but you aren't passing it to this function.

Likewise, please don't cast away const.

This is only for fs-verity built-in signatures which aren't the only way to do
signatures with fs-verity.  Are you sure this is what you're looking for?  Can
you elaborate on your use case for fs-verity built-in signatures, and what the
LSM hook will do with them?
