One of essential ideas of fs-verity is that pages which are already
verified won't need to be re-verified if they still in page cache.
The XFS stores Merkle tree blocks in extended attributes. Each
attribute has one Merkle tree block. We can not directly mark
underlying xfs_buf's pages as checked. The are not aligned with
xattr value and we don't have a reference to that buffer which is
immediately release when value is copied out.
One way to track that this block was verified is to mark xattr's
buffer as verified. If buffer is evicted the incore
XBF_VERITY_CHECKED flag is lost. When the xattr is read again
xfs_attr_get() returns new buffer without the flag. The flag is then
used to tell fs-verity if it's new page or cached one.
This patch adds XFS_DA_OP_BUFFER to tell xfs_attr_get() to
xfs_buf_hold() underlying buffer and return it as xfs_da_args->bp.
The caller must then xfs_buf_rele() the buffer.
