Calling verity_verify_io in bh for IO of all sizes is not suitable for
embedded devices. From our tests, it can improve the performance of 4K
synchronise random reads.
For example:
./fio --name=rand_read --ioengine=psync --rw=randread --bs=4K \
--direct=1 --numjobs=8 --runtime=60 --time_based --group_reporting \
--filename=/dev/block/mapper/xx-verity
But it will degrade the performance of 512K synchronise sequential reads
on our devices.
For example:
./fio --name=read --ioengine=psync --rw=read --bs=512K --direct=1 \
--numjobs=8 --runtime=60 --time_based --group_reporting \
--filename=/dev/block/mapper/xx-verity
A parameter array is introduced by this change. And users can modify the
default config by /sys/module/dm_verity/parameters/use_bh_bytes.
The default limits for NONE/RT/BE is set to 8192.
The default limits for IDLE is set to 0.
Call verity_verify_io directly when verity_end_io is not in hardirq.
