Merge tag 'erofs-for-7.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofsPull erofs updates from Gao Xiang: "In this cycle, inode page cache sharing among filesystems on the same machine is now supported, which is particularly useful for high-density hosts running tens of thousands of containers. In addition, we fully isolate the EROFS core on-disk format from other optional encoded layouts since the core on-disk part is designed to be simple, effective, and secure. Users can use the core format to build unique golden immutable images and import their filesystem trees directly from raw block devices via DMA, page-mapped DAX devices, and/or file-backed mounts without having to worry about unnecessary intrinsic consistency issues found in other generic filesystems by design. However, the full vision is still working in progress and will spend more time to achieve final goals. There are other improvements and bug fixes as usual, as listed below: - Support inode page cache sharing among filesystems - Formally separate optional encoded (aka compressed) inode layouts (and the implementations) from the EROFS core on-disk aligned plain format for future zero-trust security usage - Improve performance by caching the fact that an inode does not have a POSIX ACL - Improve LZ4 decompression error reporting - Enable LZMA by default and promote DEFLATE and Zstandard algorithms out of EXPERIMENTAL status - Switch to inode_set_cached_link() to cache symlink lengths - random bugfixes and minor cleanups"* tag 'erofs-for-7.0-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs: (31 commits) erofs: fix UAF issue for file-backed mounts w/ directio option erofs: update compression algorithm status erofs: fix inline data read failure for ztailpacking pclusters erofs: avoid some unnecessary #ifdefs erofs: handle end of filesystem properly for file-backed mounts erofs: separate plain and compressed filesystems formally erofs: use inode_set_cached_link() erofs: mark inodes without acls in erofs_read_inode() erofs: implement .fadvise for page cache share erofs: support compressed inodes for page cache share erofs: support unencoded inodes for page cache share erofs: pass inode to trace_erofs_read_folio erofs: introduce the page cache share feature erofs: using domain_id in the safer way erofs: add erofs_inode_set_aops helper to set the aops erofs: support user-defined fingerprint name erofs: decouple `struct erofs_anon_fs_type` fs: Export alloc_empty_backing_file erofs: tidy up erofs_init_inode_xattrs() erofs: add missing documentation about `directio` mount option ...

7cef3c8341940febf75db6c25199cd83fb74d52f - erofs: separate plain and compressed filesystems formally

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 03:41:25 +0100

erofs: separate plain and compressed filesystems formallyThe EROFS on-disk format uses a tiny, plain metadata design thatprioritizes performance and minimizes complex inconsistencies againstcommon writable disk filesystems (almost all serious metadatainconsistency cannot happen in well-designed immutable filesystems likeEROFS). EROFS deliberately avoids artificial design flaws to eliminateserious security risks from untrusted remote sources by design,although human-made implementation bugs can still happen sometimes.Currently, there is no strict check to prevent compressed inodes,especially LZ4-compressed inodes, from being read in plain filesystems.Starting with erofs-utils 1.0 and Linux 5.3, LZ4_0PADDING sb featureis automatically enabled for LZ4-compressed EROFS images to supportin-place decompression. Furthermore, since Linux 5.4 LTS is no longersupported, we no longer need to handle ancient LZ4-compressed EROFSimages generated by erofs-utils prior to 1.0.To formally distinguish different filesystem types for improvedsecurity: - Use the presence of LZ4_0PADDING or a non-zero `dsb->u1.lz4_max_distance` as a marker for compressed filesystems containing LZ4-compressed inodes only; - For other algorithms, use `dsb->u1.available_compr_algs` bitmap.Note: LZ4_0PADDING has been supported since Linux 5.4 (the first formalkernel version), so exposing it via sysfs is no longer necessary and isnow deprecated (but remain it for five more years until 2031): `dsb->u1` has been strictly non-zero for all EROFS images containing compressed inodes starting with erofs-utils v1.3 and it is actually a much better marker for compressed filesystems.Signed-off-by: Gao Xiang List of files: /linux/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-erofs

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 04:43:30 +0100

erofs: tidy up synchronous decompression - Get rid of `sbi->opt.max_sync_decompress_pages` since it's fixed as 3 all the time; - Add Z_EROFS_MAX_SYNC_DECOMPRESS_BYTES in bytes instead of in pages, since for non-4K pages, 3-page limitation makes no sense; - Move `sync_decompress` to sbi to avoid unexpected remount impact; - Fold z_erofs_is_sync_decompress() into its caller; - Better description of sysfs entry `sync_decompress`.Reviewed-by: Chao Yu Signed-off-by: Gao Xiang List of files: /linux/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-erofs
