In the kernel 6.11, dm-integrity was enhanced with an inline ('I') mode.
This mode uses devices with non-power-of-2 sector size. The extra
metadata after each sector are used to hold the integrity hash.
This commit enhances the inline mode, so that there is automatic
recalculation of the integrity hashes when the 'reclaculate' parameter is
used. It allows us to activate the device instantly, and the
recalculation is done on background.
If the device is deactivated while recalculation is in progress, it will
remember the point where it stopped and it will continue from this point
when activated again.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
