* dm verity: add error handling modes for corrupted blocksSami Tolvanen2015-04-151-0/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add device specific modes to dm-verity to specify how corrupted blocks should be handled. The following modes are defined: - DM_VERITY_MODE_EIO is the default behavior, where reading a corrupted block results in -EIO. - DM_VERITY_MODE_LOGGING only logs corrupted blocks, but does not block the read. - DM_VERITY_MODE_RESTART calls kernel_restart when a corrupted block is discovered. In addition, each mode sends a uevent to notify userspace of corruption and to allow further recovery actions. The driver defaults to previous behavior (DM_VERITY_MODE_EIO) and other modes can be enabled with an additional parameter to the verity table.

* dm: verity fix documentationMilan Broz2012-07-031-85/+46
| | | | | | | | | | | | Veritysetup is now part of cryptsetup package. Remove on-disk header description (which is not parsed in kernel) and point users to cryptsetup where it the format is documented. Mention units for block size paramaters. Fix target line specification and dmsetup parameters. Signed-off-by: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
* dm: add verity targetMikulas Patocka2012-03-281-0/+194
This device-mapper target creates a read-only device that transparently validates the data on one underlying device against a pre-generated tree of cryptographic checksums stored on a second device. Two checksum device formats are supported: version 0 which is already shipping in Chromium OS and version 1 which incorporates some improvements.
