This patch adds the changes to the on disk format needed for authentication support. We'll add: * a HMAC covering super block node * a HMAC covering the master node * a hash over the root index node to the master node * a hash over the LPT to the master node * a flag to the filesystem flag indicating the filesystem is authenticated * an authentication node necessary to authenticate the nodes written to the journal heads while they are written. * a HMAC of a well known message to the super block node to be able to check if the correct key is provided And finally, not visible in this patch, nevertheless explained here: * hashes over the referenced child nodes in each branch of a index node Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger <[email protected]>
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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
