I try to fix them in

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/linux.git/tree/fs/erofs/super.c?h=erofs-outofstaging

, including:

1) remove unneeded sbi->dev_name;

2) remove all destructors in fill_super()

350         inode = erofs_iget(sb, ROOT_NID(sbi), true);

and I injected some faults on error paths and it seems fine...
Could you kindly check whether it makes sense? (if I understand all correctly....)

The whole patchset will be resent this morning (a few hours later), I have to sleep...
