ext4: mark fs-verity enable fast-commit ineligible
Fast commits only log operations that have dedicated replay support. Enabling fs-verity builds a Merkle tree and updates inode and orphan state in ways that are not described by the fast commit replay tags. In practice these operations are rare and usually followed by further updates, but mixing them into a fast commit makes the overall semantics harder to reason about and risks replay gaps if new call sites appear. Teach ext4 to mark the filesystem fast-commit ineligible when ext4_end_enable_verity() starts its journal transaction. This forces that transaction to fall back to a full commit, ensuring that the fs-verity enable changes are captured by the normal journal rather than partially encoded in fast commit TLVs. This change should not affect common workloads but makes fs-verity enable safer and easier to reason about under fast commit. Testing: 1. prepare: dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/fc_verity.img bs=1M count=0 seek=128 mkfs.ext4 -O fast_commit,verity -F /root/fc_verity.img mkdir -p /mnt/fc_verity && mount -t ext4 -o loop /root/fc_verity.img /mnt/fc_verity 2. Enabled fs-verity on a file and verified reason accounting: echo "data" > /mnt/fc_verity/verityfile /root/enable_verity /mnt/fc_verity/verityfile sync tail -n 1 /proc/fs/ext4/loop0/fc_info "fs-verity enable": 1 3. Enabled fs-verity on a second file, fsynced it, and checked that the ineligible commit counter is updated too: echo "data2" > /mnt/fc_verity/verityfile2 /root/enable_verity /mnt/fc_verity/verityfile2 /root/fsync_file /mnt/fc_verity/verityfile2 sync /proc/fs/ext4/loop0/fc_info shows "fs-verity enable" incremented and fc stats ineligible increased accordingly.
