help
This option enables fs-verity. fs-verity is the dm-verity
mechanism implemented at the file level. On supported
- filesystems (currently EXT4 and F2FS), userspace can use an
- ioctl to enable verity for a file, which causes the filesystem
- to build a Merkle tree for the file. The filesystem will then
- transparently verify any data read from the file against the
- Merkle tree. The file is also made read-only.

This serves as an integrity check, but the availability of the
Merkle tree root hash also allows efficiently supporting
