Roberto Sassu April 15, 2024, 2:24 p.m. UTC
From: Roberto Sassu <roberto.sassu@huawei.com>

Add a linked list of hash tables to the digest cache, one per algorithm,
containing the digests extracted from digest lists.

The number of hash table slots is determined by dividing the number of
digests to add to the average depth of the collision list defined with
CONFIG_DIGEST_CACHE_HTABLE_DEPTH (currently set to 30). It can be changed
in the kernel configuration.

Add digest_cache_htable_init() and digest_cache_htable_add(), to be called
by digest list parsers, in order to allocate the hash tables and to add
extracted digests.

Add digest_cache_htable_free(), to let the digest_cache LSM free the hash
tables at the time a digest cache is freed.

Add digest_cache_htable_lookup() to search a digest in the hash table of a
digest cache for a given algorithm.

Add digest_cache_lookup() to the public API, to let users of the
digest_cache LSM search a digest in a digest cache and, in a subsequent
patch, to search it in the digest caches for each directory entry.

Return the digest cache containing the digest, as a different type,
digest_cache_found_t to avoid it being accidentally put. Also, introduce
digest_cache_from_found_t() to explicitly convert it back to a digest cache
for further use (e.g. retrieving verification data, introduced later).

Finally, add digest_cache_hash_key() to compute the hash table key from the
first two bytes of the digest (modulo the number of slots).

For easier grepping from kernel tree i'd suggest to name this accordingly i.e.
just "digest_cache".

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think __packed has any use
here as the definition of hlist_node is:


struct hlist_node {
	struct hlist_node *next, **pprev;
};

It is naturally aligned to begin with.
