As I suggested before, how about moving f2fs' verity_bit from i_fadvise to more
generic i_flags field like ext4, so we can a) remaining more bits for those
demands which really need file advise fields. b) using i_flags bits keeping line
with ext4. Not sure, if user want to know whether the file is verity one, it
will be easy for f2fs to export the status through FS_IOC_SETFLAGS.

#define EXT4_VERITY_FL			0x00100000 /* Verity protected inode */

#define F2FS_VERITY_FL			0x00100000 /* Verity protected inode */

Thanks,
