One more observation:
When I disable FEC flag in bootloader, I see the below error:
[    8.360791] device-mapper: verity: 253:0: data block 2 is corrupted
[    8.361134] device-mapper: verity: 253:0: data block 3 is corrupted
[    8.366016] SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x1106
[    8.379652] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read data cache entry [1106]
[    8.379680] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read page, block 1106, size 7770

Also, now I see that the decompress error is gone, but the read error
is still there.

This seems to me that dm-verity detects some corrupted blocks but with
FEC it auto corrects itself, how when dm-verity auto corrects itself,
the squashfs decompression algorithm somehow could not understand it.

So, it seems like there is some mis-match between the way FEC
correction and the squashfs decompression happens ?

Is this issue seen by anybody else here ?


Thanks,
Pintu
