In order to support mounting multi-blobs container image as a single block device, add flattened block device feature for EROFS. In this mode, all meta/data contents will be mapped into one block space. User could compose a block device(by nbd/ublk/virtio-blk/ vhost-user-blk) from multiple sources and mount the block device by EROFS directly. It can reduce the number of block devices used, and it's also benefits in both VM file passthrough and distributed storage scenarios. You can test this using the method mentioned by: https://github.com/dragonflyoss/image-service/pull/1139 1. Compose a (nbd)block device from multi-blobs. 2. Mount EROFS on mntdir/. 3. Compare the md5sum between source dir and mntdir/. Later, we could also use it to refer original tar blobs.

README
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.
