Right... That is my mistake on recent killing bh
transformation...

I have no idea this patch could be merged for -rc1
since I don't know Greg could still accept patches
or freezed...

Since it's an error handling path and trivial, if
it's some late, could I submit this later after
erofs is merged into mainline (if it's ok) for -rc1?
(or maybe -rc2?)

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
