    Pull fs-verity support from Eric Biggers:
     "fs-verity is a filesystem feature that provides Merkle tree based
      hashing (similar to dm-verity) for individual readonly files, mainly
      for the purpose of efficient authenticity verification.
    
      This pull request includes:
    
       (a) The fs/verity/ support layer and documentation.
    
       (b) fs-verity support for ext4 and f2fs.
    
      Compared to the original fs-verity patchset from last year, the UAPI
      to enable fs-verity on a file has been greatly simplified. Lots of
      other things were cleaned up too.
    
      fs-verity is planned to be used by two different projects on Android;
      most of the userspace code is in place already. Another userspace tool
      ("fsverity-utils"), and xfstests, are also available. e2fsprogs and
      f2fs-tools already have fs-verity support. Other people have shown
      interest in using fs-verity too.
    
      I've tested this on ext4 and f2fs with xfstests, both the existing
      tests and the new fs-verity tests. This has also been in linux-next
      since July 30 with no reported issues except a couple minor ones I
      found myself and folded in fixes for.
    
      Ted and I will be co-maintaining fs-verity"
