+config DM_ANDROID_VERITY_AT_MOST_ONCE_DEFAULT_ENABLED
+ bool "Verity will validate blocks at most once"

+ ---help---
+ Default enables at_most_once option for dm-verity
+
+ Verify data blocks only the first time they are read from the
+ data device, rather than every time. This reduces the overhead
+ of dm-verity so that it can be used on systems that are memory
+ and/or CPU constrained. However, it provides a reduced level
+ of security because only offline tampering of the data device's
+ content will be detected, not online tampering.
+
+ Hash blocks are still verified each time they are read from the
+ hash device, since verification of hash blocks is less performance
+ critical than data blocks, and a hash block will not be verified
+ any more after all the data blocks it covers have been verified anyway.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
