Subject: [PATCH v2 00/24] erofs: promote erofs from staging

Changelog from v1:
 o resend the whole filesystem into a patchset suggested by Greg;
 o code is more cleaner, especially for decompression frontend.

--8<----------

Hi,

EROFS file system has been in Linux-staging for about a year.
It has been proved to be stable enough to move out of staging
by 10+ millions of HUAWEI Android mobile phones on the market
from EMUI 9.0.1, and it was promoted as one of the key features
of EMUI 9.1 [1], including P30(pro).

EROFS is a read-only file system designed to save extra storage
space with guaranteed end-to-end performance by applying
fixed-size output compression, inplace I/O and decompression
inplace technologies [2] to Linux filesystem.

In our observation, EROFS is one of the fastest Linux compression
filesystem using buffered I/O in the world. It will support
direct I/O in the future if needed. EROFS even has better read
performance in a large CR range compared with generic uncompressed
file systems with proper CPU-storage combination, which is
a reason why EROFS can be landed to speed up mobile phone
performance, and which can be probably used for other use cases
such as LiveCD and Docker image as well.

Currently EROFS supports 4k LZ4 fixed-size output compression
since LZ4 is the fastest widely-used decompression solution in
the world and 4k leads to unnoticable read amplification for
the worst case. More compression algorithms and cluster sizes
could be added later, which depends on the real requirement.

More informations about EROFS itself are available at:
 Documentation/filesystems/erofs.txt
 https://kccncosschn19eng.sched.com/event/Nru2/erofs-an-introduction-and-our-smartphone-practice-xiang-gao-huawei

erofs-utils (mainly mkfs.erofs now) is available at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs-utils.git

Preliminary iomap support has been pending in EROFS mailing
list by Chao Yu. The key issue is that current iomap doesn't
support tail-end packing inline data yet, it should be
resolved later.

Thanks to many contributors in the last year, the code is more
clean and improved. We hope EROFS can be used in wider use cases
so let's promote erofs out of staging and enhance it more actively.

Share comments about EROFS! We think EROFS is useful to
community as a part of Linux upstream.

Thank you very much,
Gao Xiang
