As Lasse pointed out, "EROFS uses LZ4_decompress_safe_partial for both partial and full blocks. Thus when it is decoding a full block, it doesn't know if the LZ4 decoder actually decoded all the input. The real uncompressed size could be bigger than the value stored in the file system metadata.
Using LZ4_decompress_safe instead of _safe_partial when decompressing a full block would help to detect errors."
So it's reasonable to use _safe in case of potential corrupted images and it might have some speed gain as well although I didn't observe much difference.
Note that legacy compressor (< 5.3, no LZ4_0PADDING) could encode extra data in a pcluster, which is excluded as well.
