Hi,

I am ok with the v6 patch; I think Mike will return to it in 5.4 reviews.

But the documentation is very brief. I spent quite a long time to configure the system properly.
I think you should add more description (at least to patch header) how to use this feature in combination with system keyring.

Do I understand correctly that these steps need to be done?

 - user configures a certificate and adds it in kernel builtin keyring (I used CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS option).
 - the dm-verity device root hash is signed directly by a key of this cert
 - the signature is uploaded to the user keyring
 - reference to signature in keyring is added as an optional dm-verity table parameter root_hash_sig_key_desc
 - optionally, require_signatures dm-verity module is set to enforce signatures.

For reference, below is the bash script I used (with unpatched veritysetup to generate working DM table), is the expected workflow here?

#!/bin/bash

NAME=test
DEV=/dev/sdc
DEV_HASH=/dev/sdd
ROOT_HASH=778fccab393842688c9af89cfd0c5cde69377cbe21ed439109ec856f2aa8a423
SIGN=sign.txt
SIGN_NAME=verity:$NAME

# get unsigned device-mapper table using unpatched veritysetup
veritysetup open $DEV $NAME $DEV_HASH $ROOT_HASH
TABLE=$(dmsetup table $NAME)
veritysetup close $NAME

# Generate self-signed CA key, must be in .config as CONFIG_SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYS="path/ca.pem"
#openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout ca_key.pem -out ca.pem -nodes -days 365 -set_serial 01 -subj /CN=example.com

# sign root hash directly by CA cert
echo -n $ROOT_HASH | openssl smime -sign -nocerts -noattr -binary -inkey ca_key.pem -signer ca.pem -outform der -out $SIGN

# load signature to keyring
keyctl padd user $SIGN_NAME @u <$SIGN

# add device-mapper table, now with sighed root hash optional argument
dmsetup create -r $NAME --table "$TABLE 2 root_hash_sig_key_desc $SIGN_NAME"
dmsetup table $NAME

# cleanup
dmsetup remove $NAME
keyctl clear @u
