+// fsverity_init is a tool for loading X.509 certificates into the kernel keyring used by the
+// fsverity builtin signature verification kernel feature
+// (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/fsverity.html#built-in-signature-verification).
+// Starting in Android 14, Android has actually stopped using this feature, as it was too inflexible
+// and caused problems.  It has been replaced by userspace signature verification.  Also, some uses
+// of fsverity in Android are now for integrity-only use cases.
+//
+// Regardless, there may exist fsverity files on-disk that were created by Android 13 or earlier.
+// These files still have builtin signatures.  If the kernel is an older kernel that still has
+// CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES enabled, these files cannot be opened unless the
+// corresponding key is in the ".fs-verity" keyring.  Therefore, this tool still has to exist and be
+// used to load keys into the kernel, even though this has no security purpose anymore.
+//
+// This tool can be removed as soon as all supported kernels are guaranteed to have
+// CONFIG_FS_VERITY_BUILTIN_SIGNATURES disabled, or alternatively as soon as support for upgrades
+// from Android 13 or earlier is no longer required.
+//
