Sure, thanks, will change this

The merkle tree pages are dropped after verification. When page is
dropped xfs_buf is marked as verified. If fs-verity wants to
verify again it will get the same verified buffer. If buffer is
evicted it won't have verified state.

So, with enough memory pressure buffers will be dropped and need to
be reverified.

yeah, it also allocates a page and is dropped with the page, so,
I took it as an addition to already big chunk of memory. But I
probably will change it, viz. comment from Eric on this patch.
