As Christoph said [1],
"vm_map_ram is supposed to generally behave better. So if
it doesn't please report that that to the arch maintainer
and linux-mm so that they can look into the issue. Having
user make choices of deep down kernel internals is just
a horrible interface.
Please talk to maintainers of other bits of the kernel
if you see issues and / or need enhancements. "
Let's redo the previous conclusion and kill the vmap
approach.

As Christoph pointed out [1], "
Why is there __submit_bio which really just obsfucates
what is going on? Also why is __submit_bio using
bio_set_op_attrs instead of opencode it as the comment
right next to it asks you to? "
Let's use submit_bio directly instead.

As Christoph pointed out [1],
"Why is there __erofs_get_meta_page with the two weird
booleans instead of a single erofs_get_meta_page that
gets and gfp_t for additional flags and an unsigned int
for additional bio op flags."
And since all callers can handle errors, let's kill
prio and nofail and erofs_get_inline_page() now.

As Christoph said [1] "having this function seems
entirely pointless", let's kill those.
filesystem function name
ext2,f2fs,ext4,isofs,squashfs,cifs,... init_inodecache
In addition, add a necessary "rcu_barrier()" on exit_fs();

As Christoph said, "This looks like a really obsfucated
way to write:
return datamode == EROFS_INODE_FLAT_COMPRESSION ||
datamode == EROFS_INODE_FLAT_COMPRESSION_LEGACY; "
Although I had my own consideration, it's the right way for now.

As Christoph suggested "Please don't add __packed" [1],
remove all __packed except struct erofs_dirent here.
Note that all on-disk fields except struct erofs_dirent
(12 bytes with a 8-byte nid) in EROFS are naturally aligned.

while filling the linux inode, using switch-case statement to check
the type of inode.
switch-case statement looks more clean here.

As Joe Perches suggested [1],
err = bio_add_page(bio, page, PAGE_SIZE, 0);
- if (unlikely(err != PAGE_SIZE)) {
+ if (err != PAGE_SIZE) {
err = -EFAULT;
goto err_out;
}
The initial assignment to err is odd as it's not
actually an error value -E<FOO> but a int size
from a unsigned int len.
Here the return is either 0 or PAGE_SIZE.
This would be more legible to me as:
if (bio_add_page(bio, page, PAGE_SIZE, 0) != PAGE_SIZE) {
err = -EFAULT;
goto err_out;
}

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!
