Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
 "In this cycle, we would like to introduce a new feature called big
  pcluster so EROFS can compress file data into more than 1 fs block and
  different pcluster size can be selected for each (sub-)files by
  design.

  The current EROFS test results on my laptop are [1]:

  which has been verified but I'd like warn it as experimental for a
  while. This matches erofs-utils dev branch and I'll also release a new
  userspace version for this later.

  Apart from that, several improvements are also included: eg complete a
  missing case for inplace I/O, optimize endio decompression logic for
  non-atomic contexts and support adjustable sliding window size, ... In
  addition to those, there are some cleanups as always.

  Summary:

   - avoid memory failure when applying rolling decompression

   - optimize endio decompression logic for non-atomic contexts

   - complete a missing case which can be safely selected for inplace
     I/O and thus decreasing more memory footprint

   - check unsupported on-disk inode i_format strictly

   - support adjustable lz4 sliding window size to decrease runtime
     memory footprint

   - support on-disk compression configurations

   - support big pcluster decompression

   - several code cleanups / spelling correction"

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 Restructured Text 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.
