From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>

Add a statx attribute bit STATX_ATTR_VERITY which will be set if the
file has fs-verity enabled.  This is the statx() equivalent of
FS_VERITY_FL which is returned by FS_IOC_GETFLAGS.

This is useful because it allows applications to check whether a file is
a verity file without opening it.  Opening a verity file can be
expensive because the fsverity_info is set up on open, which involves
parsing metadata and optionally verifying a cryptographic signature.

This is analogous to how various other bits are exposed through both
FS_IOC_GETFLAGS and statx(), e.g. the encrypt bit.

Any reason why this wasn't 0x2000?

If there's a manpage update that goes with this, then...

A few lines earlier in this file it states:

 * Note that the flags marked [I] correspond to generic FS_IOC_FLAGS
 * semantically.  Where possible, the numerical value is picked to
 * correspond also.

Yes, as Andreas pointed out, the value is chosen to match the corresponding
FS_IOC_GETFLAGS bit, like the other bits above marked [I].

It's pretty trivial to add it to the statx(2) man page.
