Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] erofs: get rid of erofs_get_meta_page()

Hi folks,

erofs_get_meta_page() is actually inflexible since it's too
close to the page itself.

In order to prepare for folio and subpage features, introduce
on-stack meta buffer descriptor instead and convert all
erofs_get_meta_page() users to use it.

It can also be used for new potential backends such as fscache or mtd.

Patches are trivial.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang

 - fix unbalanced put_metabuf in xattrs.

  erofs: introduce meta buffer operations
  erofs: use meta buffers for inode operations
  erofs: use meta buffers for super operations
  erofs: use meta buffers for xattr operations
  erofs: use meta buffers for zmap operations
