Eric Biggers	439bea104c	fs-verity: use mempool for hash requests ... When initializing an fs-verity hash algorithm, also initialize a mempool that contains a single preallocated hash request object. Then replace the direct calls to ahash_request_alloc() and ahash_request_free() with allocating and freeing from this mempool. This eliminates the possibility of the allocation failing, which is desirable for the I/O path. This doesn't cause deadlocks because there's no case where multiple hash requests are needed at a time to make forward progress.

Eric Biggers	add890c9f9	fs-verity: add SHA-512 support ... Add SHA-512 support to fs-verity. This is primarily a demonstration of the trivial changes needed to support a new hash algorithm in fs-verity; most users will still use SHA-256, due to the smaller space required to store the hashes. But some users may prefer SHA-512.

Eric Biggers	671e67b47e	fs-verity: add Kconfig and the helper functions for hashing ... Add the beginnings of the fs/verity/ support layer, including the Kconfig option and various helper functions for hashing. To start, only SHA-256 is supported, but other hash algorithms can easily be added.
