Fix the longstanding implementation limitation that fsverity was only supported when the Merkle tree block size, filesystem block size, and PAGE_SIZE were all equal. Specifically, add support for Merkle tree block sizes less than PAGE_SIZE, and make ext4 support fsverity on filesystems where the filesystem block size is less than PAGE_SIZE. Effectively, this means that fsverity can now be used on systems with non-4K pages, at least on ext4. These changes have been tested using the verity group of xfstests, newly updated to cover the new code paths. Also update fs/verity/ to support verifying data from large folios. There's also a similar patch for fs/crypto/, to support decrypting data from large folios, which I'm including in this pull request to avoid a merge conflict between the fscrypt and fsverity branches. There will be a merge conflict in fs/buffer.c with some of the foliation work in the mm tree. Please use the merge resolution from linux-next. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQSacvsUNc7UX4ntmEPzXCl4vpKOKwUCY/KJtRQcZWJpZ2dlcnNA Z29vZ2xlLmNvbQAKCRDzXCl4vpKOK/A/AP0RUlCClBRuHwXPRG0we8R1L153ga4s Vl+xRpCr+SswXwEAiOEpYN5cXoVKzNgxbEXo2pQzxi5lrpjZgUI6CL3DuQs= =ZRFX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'fsverity-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/fsverity/linux Pull fsverity updates from Eric Biggers: "Fix the longstanding implementation limitation that fsverity was only supported when the Merkle tree block size, filesystem block size, and PAGE_SIZE were all equal.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
