I tend to use "EROFS_FS_PAGE_CACHE_SHARE" since it's closer to
user impact definition (inode sharing is ambiguious), but we
could leave "ishare.c" since it's closer to the implementation
details.

And how about:

config EROFS_FS_PAGE_CACHE_SHARE
	bool "EROFS page cache share support (experimental)"
	depends on EROFS_FS && EROFS_FS_XATTR && !EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND
	help
	  This enables page cache sharing among inodes with identical
	  content fingerprints on the same device.

	  If unsure, say N.

"\ No newline at end of file" should be fixed.

I do think it should be a compatible feature since images can be
mounted in the old kernels without any issue, and it should be
renamed as

EROFS_FEATURE_COMPAT_ISHARE_XATTRS

why need this, considering we could just use

sbi->xattr_prefixes[sbi->ishare_xattr_pfx]

to get this.

I don't think it's necessary to duplicate the copy, just use
"sbi->xattr_prefixes[sbi->ishare_xattr_pfx]" directly.
