Linus Torvalds f7b36dc5cb fsverity updates for 5.12
Add an ioctl which allows reading fs-verity metadata from a file.
 
 This is useful when a file with fs-verity enabled needs to be served
 somewhere, and the other end wants to do its own fs-verity compatible
 verification of the file.  See the commit messages for details.
 
 This new ioctl has been tested using new xfstests I've written for it.

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.
