Convert to struct mnt_idmap.
Last cycle we merged the necessary infrastructure in
256c8aed2b ("fs: introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts").
This is just the conversion to struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached to a
mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy to
conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with namespaces
that are relevent on the mount level. Especially for non-vfs developers
without detailed knowledge in this area this can be a potential source for
bugs.
Once the conversion to struct mnt_idmap is done all helpers down to the
really low-level helpers will take a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments. This way it becomes impossible to conflate the two
eliminating the possibility of any bugs. All of the vfs and all filesystems
only operate on struct mnt_idmap.

The reason is erofs_fscache_register_cookie() doesn't guarantee the primary
data blob (aka fsid) is unique in the shared domain and
erofs_register_sysfs() invoked by the second mount will fail due to the
duplicated fsid in the shared domain and report warning.
It would be better to check the uniqueness of fsid before doing
erofs_register_sysfs(), so adding a new flags parameter for
erofs_fscache_register_cookie() and doing the uniqueness check if
EROFS_REG_COOKIE_NEED_NOEXIST is enabled.
After the patch, the error in dmesg for the duplicated mount would be:

When erofs instance is remounted with fsid or domain_id mount option
specified, the original fsid and domain_id string pointer in sbi->opt
is directly overridden with the fsid and domain_id string in the new
fs_context, without freeing the original fsid and domain_id string.
What's worse, when the new fsid and domain_id string is transferred to
sbi, they are not reset to NULL in fs_context, and thus they are freed
when remount finishes, while sbi is still referring to these strings.
Reconfiguration for fsid and domain_id seems unusual. Thus clarify this
restriction explicitly and dump a warning when users are attempting to
do this.
Besides, to fix the use-after-free issue, move fsid and domain_id from
erofs_mount_opts to outside.

Currently, uncompressed data is all handled in the shifted way, which
means we have to shift the whole on-disk plain pcluster to get the
logical data. However, since we are also using in-place I/O for
uncompressed data, data copy will be reduced a lot if pcluster is
recorded in the interlaced way as illustrated below:
_______________________________________________________________
| | | |_ tail part |_ head part _|
|<- blk0 ->| .. |<- blkn-2 ->|<- blkn-1 ->|
The logical data then becomes:
________________________________________________________
|_ head part _|_ blk0 _| .. |_ blkn-2 _|_ tail part _|
In addition, non-4k plain pclusters are also survived by the
interlaced way, which can be used for non-4k lclusters as well.
However, it's almost impossible to de-duplicate uncompressed data
in the interlaced way, therefore shifted uncompressed data is still
useful.

we'll get "VFS: Busy inodes after unmount." warning.
2. The fscache context is initialized prior to the root inode. If

"The bulk of this is a rework of the dax_operations API after
discovering the obstacles it posed to the work-in-progress DAX+reflink
support for XFS and other copy-on-write filesystem mechanics.
Primarily the need to plumb a block_device through the API to handle
partition offsets was a sticking point and Christoph untangled that
dependency in addition to other cleanups to make landing the
DAX+reflink support easier.
The DAX_PMEM_COMPAT option has been around for 4 years and not only
are distributions shipping userspace that understand the current
configuration API, but some are not even bothering to turn this option
on anymore, so it seems a good time to remove it per the deprecation
schedule. Recall that this was added after the device-dax subsystem
moved from /sys/class/dax to /sys/bus/dax for its sysfs organization.
All recent functionality depends on /sys/bus/dax.

At runtime, it will find the start logical offset of the tail

Therefore, follow-on requests can directly recognize if one

Currently, ->lru is a way to arrange non-LRU pages and has some

reclaim and cache thrashing under high memory presure, limited
temporary pages were all chained with ->lru and can be reused

Add MicroLZMA support in order to maximize compression ratios for
specific scenarios. For example, it's useful for low-end embedded
boards and as a secondary algorithm in a file for specific access
patterns.
MicroLZMA is a new container format for raw LZMA1, which was created
by Lasse Collin aiming to minimize old LZMA headers and get rid of
unnecessary EOPM (end of payload marker) as well as to enable
fixed-sized output compression, especially for 4KiB pclusters.
Similar to LZ4, inplace I/O approach is used to minimize runtime
memory footprint when dealing with I/O. Overlapped decompression is
handled with 1) bounced buffer for data under processing or 2) extra
short-lived pages from the on-stack pagepool which will be shared in
the same read request (128KiB for example).

Previously, the readahead window was strictly followed by EROFS
decompression strategy in order to minimize extra memory footprint.
However, it could become inefficient if just reading the partial
requested data for much big LZ4 pclusters and the upcoming LZMA
implementation.
Let's try to request the leading data in a pcluster without
triggering memory reclaiming instead for the LZ4 approach first
to boost up 100% randread of large big pclusters, and it has no real
impact on low memory scenarios.
It also introduces a way to expand read lengths in order to decompress
the whole pcluster, which is useful for LZMA since the algorithm
itself is relatively slow and causes CPU bound, but LZ4 is not.

Currently, z_erofs_map_blocks_iter() returns whether extents are
compressed or not, and the decompression frontend gets the specific
algorithms then.
It works but not quite well in many aspests, for example:
- The decompression frontend has to deal with whether extents are
compressed or not again and lookup the algorithms if compressed.
It's duplicated and too detailed about the on-disk mapping.
- A new secondary compression head will be introduced later so that
each file can have 2 compression algorithms at most for different
type of data. It could increase the complexity of the decompression
frontend if still handled in this way;
- A new readmore decompression strategy will be introduced to get
better performance for much bigger pcluster and lzma, which needs
the specific algorithm in advance as well.

Prior to big pcluster, there was only one compressed page so it'd
easy to map this. However, when big pcluster is enabled, more work
needs to be done to handle multiple compressed pages. In detail,
- (maptype 0) if there is only one compressed page + no need
to copy inplace I/O, just map it directly what we did before;
- (maptype 1) if there are more compressed pages + no need to
copy inplace I/O, vmap such compressed pages instead;
- (maptype 2) if inplace I/O needs to be copied, use per-CPU
buffers for decompression then.
Another thing is how to detect inplace decompression is feasable or
not (it's still quite easy for non big pclusters), apart from the
inplace margin calculation, inplace I/O page reusing order is also
needed to be considered for each compressed page. Currently, if the
compressed page is the xth page, it shouldn't be reused as [0 ...
nrpages_out - nrpages_in + x], otherwise a full copy will be triggered.
Although there are some extra optimization ideas for this, I'd like
to make big pcluster work correctly first and obviously it can be
further optimized later since it has nothing with the on-disk format
at all.

When a new big pcluster fs is mounted, its max pclustersize will be

sizes can also be used together in one file if mkfs wants (for example,
according to data type and/or compression ratio).
Let's get rid of previous physical_clusterbits[] setting (also notice
that corresponding on-disk fields are still 0 for now). Therefore,
head1/2 can be used for at most 2 different algorithms in one file and

lz4 uses LZ4_DISTANCE_MAX to record history preservation. When
using rolling decompression, a block with a higher compression
ratio will cause a larger memory allocation (up to 64k). It may
cause a large resource burden in extreme cases on devices with
small memory and a large number of concurrent IOs. So appropriately
reducing this value can improve performance.
Decreasing this value will reduce the compression ratio (except
when input_size <LZ4_DISTANCE_MAX). But considering that erofs
currently only supports 4k output, reducing this value will not
significantly reduce the compression benefits.
The maximum value of LZ4_DISTANCE_MAX defined by lz4 is 64k, and
we can only reduce this value. For the old kernel, it just can't
reduce the memory allocation during rolling decompression without
affecting the decompression result.

EROFS filesystem has been merged into linux-staging for a year.
EROFS is designed to be a better solution of saving extra storage
space with guaranteed end-to-end performance for read-only files
with the help of reduced metadata, fixed-sized output compression
and decompression inplace technologies.
In the past year, EROFS was greatly improved by many people as
a staging driver, self-tested, betaed by a large number of our
internal users, successfully applied to almost all in-service
HUAWEI smartphones as the part of EMUI 9.1 and proven to be stable
enough to be moved out of staging.
EROFS is a self-contained filesystem driver. Although there are
still some TODOs to be more generic, we have a dedicated team
actively keeping on working on EROFS in order to make it better
with the evolution of Linux kernel as the other in-kernel filesystems.
As Pavel suggested, it's better to do as one commit since git
can do moves and all histories will be saved in this way.
Let's promote it from staging and enhance it more actively as
a "real" part of kernel for more wider scenarios!
