So disregarding the fact that using the fsverity builtin signatures still seems like a bad idea to me, here's a few comments on the diff itself: On Mon, Jan 30, 2023 at 02:57:27PM -0800, Fan Wu wrote: > diff --git a/fs/verity/open.c b/fs/verity/open.c > index 81ff94442f7b..7e6fa52c0e9c 100644 > --- a/fs/verity/open.c > +++ b/fs/verity/open.c > @@ -7,7 +7,9 @@ > > #include "fsverity_private.h" > > +#include <linux/security.h> > #include <linux/slab.h> > +#include <crypto/public_key.h> There's no need to include <crypto/public_key.h>. > > static struct kmem_cache *fsverity_info_cachep; > > @@ -146,7 +148,7 @@ static int compute_file_digest(struct fsverity_hash_alg *hash_alg, > * appended signature), and check the signature if present.

Is that really the right behavior? Also a nit: please stick to the preferred line length of 80 characters.

Shouldn't it be named "builtin-sig" or something? - Eric
