As the first step of converting hardcoded blocksize to that specified in
on-disk superblock, convert all call sites of hardcoded blocksize to
sb->s_blocksize except for:
1) use sbi->blkszbits instead of sb->s_blocksize in
erofs_superblock_csum_verify() since sb->s_blocksize has not been
updated with the on-disk blocksize yet when the function is called.
2) use inode->i_blkbits instead of sb->s_blocksize in erofs_bread(),
since the inode operated on may be an anonymous inode in fscache mode.
Currently the anonymous inode is allocated from an anonymous mount
maintained in erofs, while in the near future we may allocate anonymous
inodes from a generic API directly and thus have no access to the
anonymous inode's i_sb. Thus we keep the block size in i_blkbits for
anonymous inodes in fscache mode.
Be noted that this patch only gets rid of the hardcoded blocksize, in
preparation for actually setting the on-disk block size in the following
patch. The hard limit of constraining the block size to PAGE_SIZE still
exists until the next patch.

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

Prior to ztailpacking feature, it's enough that each lcluster has
two pclusters at most, and the last pcluster should be turned into
an uncompressed pcluster when necessary. For example,
_________________________________________________
|_ pcluster n-2 _|_ pcluster n-1 _|____ EOFed ____|
which should be converted into:
_________________________________________________
|_ pcluster n-2 _|_ pcluster n-1 (uncompressed)' _|
That is fine since either pcluster n-1 or (uncompressed)' takes one
physical block.
However, after ztailpacking was supported, the game is changed since
the last pcluster can be inlined now. And such case above is quite
common for inlining small files. Therefore, in order to inline more
effectively, special EOF lclusters are now supported which can have
three parts at most, as illustrated below:
_________________________________________________
|_ pcluster n-2 _|_ pcluster n-1 _|____ EOFed ____|
^ i_size

removed this part on purpose. After evaluating more real cases with

MicroLZMA is a new container format for raw LZMA1, which was created

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

It's duplicated and too detailed about the on-disk mapping.
- A new secondary compression head will be introduced later so that

Different from non-compact indexes, several lclusters are packed
as the compact form at once and an unique base blkaddr is stored for
each pack, so each lcluster index would take less space on avarage
(e.g. 2 bytes for COMPACT_2B.) btw, that is also why BIG_PCLUSTER
switch should be consistent for compact head0/1.
Prior to big pcluster, the size of all pclusters was 1 lcluster.
Therefore, when a new HEAD lcluster was scanned, blkaddr would be
bumped by 1 lcluster. However, that way doesn't work anymore for
big pcluster since we actually don't know the compressed size of
pclusters in advance (before reading CBLKCNT lcluster).
So, instead, let blkaddr of each pack be the first pcluster blkaddr
with a valid CBLKCNT, in detail,
1) if CBLKCNT starts at the pack, this first valid pcluster is
itself, e.g.
_____________________________________________________________
|_CBLKCNT0_|_NONHEAD_| .. |_HEAD_|_CBLKCNT1_| ... |_HEAD_| ...
^ = blkaddr base ^ += CBLKCNT0 ^ += CBLKCNT1
2) if CBLKCNT doesn't start at the pack, the first valid pcluster
is the next pcluster, e.g.
_________________________________________________________
| NONHEAD_| .. |_HEAD_|_CBLKCNT0_| ... |_HEAD_|_HEAD_| ...
^ = blkaddr base ^ += CBLKCNT0
^ += 1
When a CBLKCNT is found, blkaddr will be increased by CBLKCNT
lclusters, or a new HEAD is found immediately, bump blkaddr by 1
instead (see the picture above.)
Also noted if CBLKCNT is the end of the pack, instead of storing
delta1 (distance of the next HEAD lcluster) as normal NONHEADs,
it still uses the compressed block count (delta0) since delta1
can be calculated indirectly but the block count can't.
Adjust decoding logic to fit big pcluster compact indexes as well.

Formal big pcluster design is actually more powerful / flexable than
the previous thought whose pclustersize was fixed as power-of-2 blocks,
which was obviously inefficient and space-wasting. Instead, pclustersize
can now be set independently for each pcluster, so various pcluster
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

head1/2 can be used for at most 2 different algorithms in one file and

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!
