Subject: [PATCH V1 0/5] Introduce erofs shared domain

Changes since RFC:
1. Fix the macro CONFIG_EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND misuse in
   erofs_fc_parse_param().
2. Move the code in domain.c to fscache.c
3. Remove the definition of anon_inode_fs_type and just use erofs
   filesystem type to init pseudo mnt.
4. Use mutex lock for erofs_domain_list.
5. Unregister the cookies before kill_sb() to avoid inode busy when
   umount erofs.
6. Remove useless declaration of domain_get/put in internal.h

[Kernel Patchset]
===============
Git tree:
	https://github.com/userzj/linux.git zhujia/shared-domain-v1
Git web:
	https://github.com/userzj/linux/tree/zhujia/shared-domain-v1

[Background]
============
In ondemand read mode, we use individual volume to present an erofs
mountpoint, cookies to present bootstrap and data blobs.

In which case, since cookies can't be shared between fscache volumes,
even if the data blobs between different mountpoints are exactly same,
they can't be shared.

[Introduction]
==============
Here we introduce erofs shared domain to resolve above mentioned case.
Several erofs filesystems can belong to one domain, and data blobs can
be shared among these erofs filesystems of same domain.

[Usage]
Users could specify 'domain_id' mount option to create or join into a
domain which reuses the same cookies(blobs).

[Design]
========
1. Use pseudo mnt to manage domain's lifecycle.
2. Use a linked list to maintain & traverse domains.
3. Use pseudo sb to create anonymous inode for recording cookie's info
   and manage cookies lifecycle.

[Flow Path]
===========
1. User specify a new 'domain_id' in mount option.
   1.1 Traverse domain list, compare domain_id with existing domain.[Miss]
   1.2 Create a new domain(volume), add it to domain list.
   1.3 Traverse pseudo sb's inode list, compare cookie name with
       existing cookies.[Miss]
   1.4 Alloc new anonymous inodes and cookies.

2. User specify an existing 'domain_id' in mount option and the data
   blob is existed in domain.
   2.1 Traverse domain list, compare domain_id with existing domain.[Hit]
   2.2 Reuse the domain and increase its refcnt.
   2.3 Traverse pseudo sb's inode list, compare cookie name with
   	   existing cookies.[Hit]
   2.4 Reuse the cookie and increase its refcnt.

[Test]

More test cases will be added to:

RFC: https://lore.kernel.org/all/YxAlO%2FDHDrIAafR2@B-P7TQMD6M-0146.local/

Jia Zhu (5):
  erofs: add 'domain_id' mount option for on-demand read sementics
  erofs: introduce fscache-based domain
  erofs: add 'domain_id' prefix when register sysfs
  erofs: remove duplicated unregister_cookie
  erofs: support fscache based shared domain
