Do you want only file corruption errors? If so it may be a good > idea to call this 'file_corrupt', which would be consistent with the > "FILE CORRUPTED" error message in fs/verity/verify.c.

I only want actual file corruption errors -- XFS can handle disk errors from reading merkle tree blocks on its own. I'll change this to file_corrupt. How's this? /** * Notify the filesystem that file data is corrupt. * * @inode: the inode being validated * @pos: the file position of the invalid data * @len: the length of the invalid data * * This function is called when fs-verity cannot validate the file * contents against the merkle tree hashes and logs a FILE CORRUPTED * error message. */ void (*file_corrupt)(struct inode *inode, loff_t pos, size_t len); --D > - Eric >
