Add a flag ([EXT4|FS]_DAX_FL) to preserve FS_XFLAG_DAX in the ext4
inode.
Set the flag to be user visible and changeable. Set the flag to be
inherited. Allow applications to change the flag at any time except if
it conflicts with the set of mutually exclusive flags (Currently VERITY,
ENCRYPT, JOURNAL_DATA).
Furthermore, restrict setting any of the exclusive flags if DAX is set.
While conceptually possible, we do not allow setting EXT4_DAX_FL while
at the same time clearing exclusion flags (or vice versa) for 2 reasons:
1) The DAX flag does not take effect immediately which
introduces quite a bit of complexity
2) There is no clear use case for being this flexible
Finally, on regular files, flag the inode to not be cached to facilitate
changing S_DAX on the next creation of the inode.

To prevent complications with in memory inodes we only set S_DAX on
inode load. FS_XFLAG_DAX can be changed at any time and S_DAX will
change after inode eviction and reload.
Add init bool to ext4_set_inode_flags() to indicate if the inode is
being newly initialized.
Assert that S_DAX is not set on an inode which is just being loaded.

Verity and DAX are incompatible. Changing the DAX mode due to a verity
flag change is wrong without a corresponding address_space_operations
update.
Make the 2 options mutually exclusive by returning an error if DAX was
set first.
(Setting DAX is already disabled if Verity is set first.)

When fs-verity verifies data pages, currently it reads each Merkle tree
page synchronously using read_mapping_page().
Therefore, when the Merkle tree pages aren't already cached, fs-verity
causes an extra 4 KiB I/O request for every 512 KiB of data (assuming
that the Merkle tree uses SHA-256 and 4 KiB blocks). This results in
more I/O requests and performance loss than is strictly necessary.
Therefore, implement readahead of the Merkle tree pages.
For simplicity, we take advantage of the fact that the kernel already
does readahead of the file's *data*, just like it does for any other
file. Due to this, we don't really need a separate readahead state
(struct file_ra_state) just for the Merkle tree, but rather we just need
to piggy-back on the existing data readahead requests.
We also only really need to bother with the first level of the Merkle
tree, since the usual fan-out factor is 128, so normally over 99% of
Merkle tree I/O requests are for the first level.
Therefore, make fsverity_verify_bio() enable readahead of the first
Merkle tree level, for up to 1/4 the number of pages in the bio, when it
sees that the REQ_RAHEAD flag is set on the bio. The readahead size is
then passed down to ->read_merkle_tree_page() for the filesystem to
(optionally) implement if it sees that the requested page is uncached.
While we're at it, also make build_merkle_tree_level() set the Merkle
tree readahead size, since it's easy to do there.
However, for now don't set the readahead size in fsverity_verify_page(),
since currently it's only used to verify holes on ext4 and f2fs, and it
would need parameters added to know how much to read ahead.
This patch significantly improves fs-verity sequential read performance.
Some quick benchmarks with 'cat'-ing a 250MB file after dropping caches:
On an ARM64 phone (using sha256-ce):
Before: 217 MB/s
After: 263 MB/s
(compare to sha256sum of non-verity file: 357 MB/s)
In an x86_64 VM (using sha256-avx2):
Before: 173 MB/s
After: 215 MB/s
(compare to sha256sum of non-verity file: 223 MB/s)

Add most of fs-verity support to ext4. fs-verity is a filesystem
feature that enables transparent integrity protection and authentication
of read-only files. It uses a dm-verity like mechanism at the file
level: a Merkle tree is used to verify any block in the file in
log(filesize) time. It is implemented mainly by helper functions in
fs/verity/. See Documentation/filesystems/fsverity.rst for the full
documentation.
This commit adds all of ext4 fs-verity support except for the actual
data verification, including:
- Adding a filesystem feature flag and an inode flag for fs-verity.
- Implementing the fsverity_operations to support enabling verity on an
inode and reading/writing the verity metadata.
- Updating ->write_begin(), ->write_end(), and ->writepages() to support
writing verity metadata pages.
- Calling the fs-verity hooks for ->open(), ->setattr(), and ->ioctl().
ext4 stores the verity metadata (Merkle tree and fsverity_descriptor)
past the end of the file, starting at the first 64K boundary beyond
i_size. This approach works because (a) verity files are readonly, and
(b) pages fully beyond i_size aren't visible to userspace but can be
read/written internally by ext4 with only some relatively small changes
to ext4. This approach avoids having to depend on the EA_INODE feature
and on rearchitecturing ext4's xattr support to support paging
multi-gigabyte xattrs into memory, and to support encrypting xattrs.
Note that the verity metadata *must* be encrypted when the file is,
since it contains hashes of the plaintext data.
This patch incorporates work by Theodore Ts'o and Chandan Rajendra.
