[PATCH 0/5] erofs: basic sub-page compressed data support

[Gao Xiang <hsiangkao@linux.alibaba.com>]

Hi folks,

Recently, there are two new cases so that we need to add a preliminary
sub-page block support for compressed files;

 - As Android folks requested, Android ecosystem itself is now switching
   to 16k page size for their arm64 devices.  They needs an option of
   4k-block image compatibility on their new 16k devices;

 - Some arm64 cloud servers use 64k page size for their optimized
   workloads, but 4k-block EROFS container images need to be parsed too.

So this patchset mainly addresses the requirements above with a very
very simple approach as a start: just allocate short-lived temporary
buffers all the time to keep compressed data if sub-page blocks are
identified.  In other words, no inplace/cache decompression for
the preliminary support.

This patchset survives EROFS stress test on my own testfarms.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
