Fragments aren't limited by Z_EROFS_PCLUSTER_MAX_DSIZE. However, if
a fragment's logical length is larger than Z_EROFS_PCLUSTER_MAX_DSIZE
but the fragment is not the whole inode, it currently returns
-EOPNOTSUPP because m_flags has the wrong EROFS_MAP_ENCODED flag set.
It is not intended by design but should be rare, as it can only be
reproduced by mkfs with `-Eall-fragments` in a specific case.
Let's normalize fragment m_flags using the new EROFS_MAP_FRAGMENT.

Previously, file operations on a file-backed mount used the current
process' credentials to access the backing FD. Attempting to do so on
Android lead to SELinux denials, as ACL rules on the backing file (e.g.
/system/apex/foo.apex) is restricted to a small set of process.
Arguably, this error is redundant and leaking implementation details, as
access to files on a mount is already ACL'ed by path.
Instead, override to use the opener's cred when accessing the backing
file. This makes the behavior similar to a loop-backed mount, which
uses kworker cred when accessing the backing file and does not cause
SELinux denials.

When attempting to use an archive file, such as APEX on android,
as a file-backed mount source, it fails because EROFS image within
the archive file does not start at offset 0. As a result, a loop
or a dm device is still needed to attach the image file at an
appropriate offset first. Similarly, if an EROFS image within a
block device does not start at offset 0, it cannot be mounted
directly either.
To address this issue, this patch adds a new mount option `fsoffset=x'
to accept a start offset for the primary device. The offset should be
aligned to the block size. EROFS will add this offset before performing
read requests.

When the netfs_io_request struct's work item is queued, it must be supplied
with a ref to the work item struct to prevent it being deallocated whilst
on the queue or whilst it is being processed. This is tricky to manage as
we have to get a ref before we try and queue it and then we may find it's
already queued and is thus already holding a ref - in which case we have to
try and get rid of the ref again.
The problem comes if we're in BH or IRQ context and need to drop the ref:
if netfs_put_request() reduces the count to 0, we have to do the cleanup -
but the cleanup may need to wait.
Fix this by adding a new work item to the request, ->cleanup_work, and
dispatching that when the refcount hits zero. That can then synchronously
cancel any outstanding work on the main work item before doing the cleanup.
Adding a new work item also deals with another problem upstream where it's
sometimes changing the work func in the put function and requeuing it -
which has occasionally in the past caused the cleanup to happen
incorrectly.
As a bonus, this allows us to get rid of the 'was_async' parameter from a
bunch of functions. This indicated whether the put function might not be
permitted to sleep.

Currently, when EROFS is built with per-CPU workers, the workers are
started and CPU hotplug hooks are registered during module initialization.
This leads to unnecessary worker start/stop cycles during CPU hotplug
events, particularly on Android devices that frequently suspend and resume.
This change defers the initialization of per-CPU workers and the
registration of CPU hotplug hooks until the first EROFS mount. This
ensures that these resources are only allocated and managed when EROFS is
actually in use.
The tear down of per-CPU workers and unregistration of CPU hotplug hooks
still occurs during z_erofs_exit_subsystem(), but only if they were
initialized.

For multiple devices, both primary and extra devices should be the
same type. `erofs_init_device` has already guaranteed that if the
primary is a file-backed device, extra devices should also be
regular files.
However, if the primary is a block device while the extra device
is a file-backed device, `erofs_init_device` will get an ENOTBLK,
which is not treated as an error in `erofs_fc_get_tree`, and that
leads to an UAF:
erofs_fc_get_tree
get_tree_bdev_flags(erofs_fc_fill_super)
erofs_read_superblock
erofs_init_device // sbi->dif0 is not inited yet,
// return -ENOTBLK
deactivate_locked_super
free(sbi)
if (err is -ENOTBLK)
sbi->dif0.file = filp_open() // sbi UAF
So if -ENOTBLK is hitted in `erofs_init_device`, it means the
primary device must be a block device, and the extra device
is not a block device. The error can be converted to -EINVAL.

EROFS uses NID to indicate the on-disk inode offset, which can
exceed 32 bits. However, the default encode_fh uses the ino32,
thus it doesn't work if the image is larger than 128GiB.
Let's introduce our own helpers to encode file handles.
It's easy to reproduce:
1. prepare an erofs image with nid bigger than U32_MAX
2. mount -t erofs foo.img /mnt/erofs
3. set exportfs with configuration: /mnt/erofs *(rw,sync,
no_root_squash)
4. mount -t nfs $IP:/mnt/erofs /mnt/nfs
5. md5sum /mnt/nfs/foo # foo is the file which nid bigger
than U32_MAX. # you will get ESTALE error.
In the case of overlayfs, the underlying filesystem's file
handle is encoded in ovl_fb.fid, which is similar to NFS's
case. If the NID of file is larger than U32_MAX, the overlay
will get -ESTALE error when calls exportfs_decode_fh.

When compressed data deduplication is enabled, multiple logical extents
may reference the same compressed physical cluster.
The previous commit 94c43de735 ("erofs: fix wrong primary bvec
selection on deduplicated extents") already avoids using shortened
bvecs. However, in such cases, the extra temporary buffers also
need to be preserved for later use in z_erofs_fill_other_copies() to
to prevent data corruption.
IOWs, extra temporary buffers have to be retained not only due to
varying start relative offsets (`pageofs_out`, as indicated by
`pcl->multibases`) but also because of shortened bvecs.

Both 204185 and 54095257 have the same start relative offset of 3481,
but the logical page 55 of `android.hardware.graphics.composer@2.1.so`
ranges from 225280 to 229632, forming a shortened bvec [225280, 225536)
that cannot be used for decompressing the range from 54095257 to
54309344 of `com.android.vndk.v28.apex`.
Since `pcl->multibases` is already meaningless, just mark `be->keepxcpy`
on demand for simplicity.
Again, this issue can only lead to data corruption if `-Ededupe` is on.

If bio_add_folio() fails (because it is full),
erofs_fileio_scan_folio() needs to submit the I/O request via
erofs_fileio_rq_submit() and allocate a new I/O request with an empty
`struct bio`. Then it retries the bio_add_folio() call.
However, at this point, erofs_onlinefolio_split() has already been
called which increments `folio->private`; the retry will call
erofs_onlinefolio_split() again, but there will never be a matching
erofs_onlinefolio_end() call. This leaves the folio locked forever
and all waiters will be stuck in folio_wait_bit_common().
This bug has been added by commit ce63cb62d7 ("erofs: support
unencoded inodes for fileio"), but was practically unreachable because
there was room for 256 folios in the `struct bio` - until commit
9f74ae8c9a ("erofs: shorten bvecs[] for file-backed mounts") which
reduced the array capacity to 16 folios.
It was now trivial to trigger the bug by manually invoking readahead
from userspace, e.g.:
posix_fadvise(fd, 0, st.st_size, POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED);
This should be fixed by invoking erofs_onlinefolio_split() only after
bio_add_folio() has succeeded. This is safe: asynchronous completions
invoking erofs_onlinefolio_end() will not unlock the folio because
erofs_fileio_scan_folio() is still holding a reference to be released
by erofs_onlinefolio_end() at the end.

Previously, EROFS provided both (non-)compact compressed indexes to
keep necessary hints for each logical block, enabling O(1) random
indexing. This approach was originally designed for small compression
units (e.g., 4KiB), where compressed data is strictly block-aligned via
fixed-sized output compression.
However, EROFS now supports big pclusters up to 1MiB and many users use
large configurations to minimize image sizes. For such configurations,
the total number of extents decreases significantly (e.g., only 1,024
extents for a 1GiB file using 1MiB pclusters), then runtime metadata
overhead becomes negligible compared to data I/O and decoding costs.
Additionally, some popular compression algorithm (mainly Zstd) still
lacks native fixed-sized output compression support (although it's
planned by their authors). Instead of just waiting for compressor
improvements, let's adopt byte-oriented extents, allowing these
compressors to retain their current methods.
For example, it speeds up Zstd compression a lot:
Processor: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8163 CPU @ 2.50GHz * 96
Dataset: enwik9

Encoded extents are structured as an array of `struct z_erofs_extent`,
sorted by logical address in ascending order:
__le32 plen // encoded length, algorithm id and flags
__le32 pstart_lo // physical offset LSB
__le32 pstart_hi // physical offset MSB
__le32 lstart_lo // logical offset
__le32 lstart_hi // logical offset MSB
..
Note that prefixed reduced records can be used to minimize metadata for
specific cases (e.g. lstart less than 32 bits, then 32 to 16 bytes).
If the logical lengths of all encoded extents are the same, 4-byte
(plen) and 8-byte (plen, pstart_lo) records can be used. Or, 16-byte
(plen .. lstart_lo) and 32-byte full records have to be used instead.
If 16-byte and 32-byte records are used, the total number of extents
is kept in `struct z_erofs_map_header`, and binary search can be
applied on them. Note that `eytzinger order` is not considerd because
data sequential access is important.
If 4-byte records are used, 8-byte start physical offset is between
`struct z_erofs_map_header` and the `plen` array.
In addition, 64-bit physical offsets can be applied with new encoded
extent format to match full 48-bit block addressing.
Remove redundant comments around `struct z_erofs_lcluster_index` too.

There's no need to record "." dirents in the directory data (while
they could be used for sanity checks, they aren't very useful.)
Omitting "." dirents also improves directory data deduplication.
Use a per-inode (instead of per-sb) flag to indicate if the "." dirent
is omitted or not, ensuring compatibility with incremental builds. It
also reuses EROFS_I_NLINK_1_BIT, as it has very limited use cases for
directories with `nlink = 1`.
Emit the "." entry as the last virtual dirent in the directory because
it is _much_ less frequently used than the ".." dirent. It also keeps
`f_pos` meaningful, as it strictly follows the directory data when it's
less than i_size.

The current 32-bit block addressing limits EROFS to a 16TiB maximum
volume size with 4KiB blocks. However, several new use cases now
require larger capacity support:
- Massive datasets for model training in order to boost random
sampling performance for each epoch;
- Object storage clients using EROFS direct passthrough.
This extends core on-disk structures to support 48-bit block addressing,
such as inodes, device slots, and inode chunks.
Additionally:
- Expand superblock root NID to 8-byte `rootnid_8b` to enable full
out-of-place update incremental builds;
- Introduce `epoch` field in the superblock as well as add `mtime`
field to 32-byte compact inodes for basic timestamp support.

fs/overlayfs/namei.c: get rid of include ../internal.h
Quite a few places want to build a struct qstr by given string;
it would be convenient to have a primitive doing that, rather
than open-coding it via QSTR_INIT().
The closest approximation was in bcachefs, but that expands to
initializer list - {.len = strlen(string), .name = string}.
It would be more useful to have it as compound literal -
(struct qstr){.len = strlen(string), .name = string}.
Unlike initializer list it's a valid expression. What's more,
it's a valid lvalue - it's an equivalent of anonymous local
variable with such initializer, so the things like
path->dentry = d_alloc_pseudo(mnt->mnt_sb, &QSTR(name));
are valid. It can also be used as initializer, with identical
effect -
struct qstr x = (struct qstr){.name = s, .len = strlen(s)};
is equivalent to
struct qstr anon_variable = {.name = s, .len = strlen(s)};
struct qstr x = anon_variable;
// anon_variable is never used after that point
and any even remotely sane compiler will manage to collapse that
into
struct qstr x = {.name = s, .len = strlen(s)};
What compound literals can't be used for is initialization of
global variables, but those are covered by QSTR_INIT().
This commit lifts definition(s) of QSTR() into linux/dcache.h,
converts it to compound literal (all bcachefs users are fine
with that) and converts assorted open-coded instances to using
that.

introduces a new memory descriptor for zswap.zpool that currently
overlaps with struct page for now. This is part of the effort to
reduce the size of struct page and to enable dynamic allocation of
memory descriptors
- "mm, swap: rework of swap allocator locks" from Kairui Song redoes
and simplifies the swap allocator locking. A speedup of 400% was
demonstrated for one workload. As was a 35% reduction for kernel
build time with swap-on-zram
