<content type='text'>
When inode_share is enabled, erofs_ishare_fops.llseek falls back to
generic_file_llseek, which treats the whole file as data and always
returns i_size for SEEK_HOLE, hiding real holes in sparse files.

Switch it to erofs_file_llseek instead.  For user files f_mapping-&gt;host
is always the real erofs inode, so SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA resolve the
per-file on-disk layout via iomap_seek_hole()/iomap_seek_data().

<id>urn:sha1:e587a984d332b76ab89fab546f1594f61f73d5f6</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, metadata access for file-backed mounts reuses the page cache
of backing inodes directly.

Switch to per-sb dedicated pseudo inodes ("managed cache") for metadata
access on file-backed mounts (although I still don't think it is
necessary due to the EROFS immutable model). As the result, metadata
cache won't use the page cache of backing inodes anymore.

The "managed cache" was originally used to cache physical compressed
data according to the current cache strategy and I/O patterns; since
file-backed mounts also need to access physical data for metadata
access, it's natural to reuse the managed cache for this too, providing
a unique inode for all physical data access.

Convert erofs iomap_ops to the new -&gt;iomap_next() callback. Each
callback is generated with the DEFINE_IOMAP_ITER_NEXT() and
DEFINE_IOMAP_ITER_NEXT_END() macros, which wrap the iomap_iter_next()
helper to finish the previous mapping if needed and produce the next
one. No functional changes are intended.

<title>erofs: remove fscache backend entirely</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c37460cd9b2fcb61ec66b7eb4fde737e65ec2a56</id>
<content type='text'>
EROFS over fscache was introduced to provide image lazy pulling
functionality. After the feature landed, the fscache subsystem made
netfs a new hard dependency, which is unexpected for a local filesystem
and has an kernel-defined caching hierarchy which could be inflexible
compared to the fanotify pre-content hooks. Therefore, this feature has
been deprecated for almost two years.

As EROFS file-backed mounts and fanotify pre-content hooks both upstream
for a while and already providing equivalent functionality (erofs-utils
has supported fanotify pre-content hooks), let's remove the fscache
backend now.

The main application of this feature is Nydus [1], and they plan to move
to use fanotify pre-content hooks in the near future too.

I hope this patch can be merged into Linux 7.2, which is also motivated
by newly found implementation issues [2][3] that are not worth
investigating given the deprecation and limited development resources.
The associated fscache/cachefiles cleanup patch will follow separately
through the vfs tree (netfs) later: it seems fine since the codebase is
isolated by CONFIG_CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND.

<content type='text'>
On 32-bit platforms, pgoff_t is 32 bits wide, so left-shifting
large arbitrary pgoff_t values by PAGE_SHIFT performs 32-bit arithmetic
and silently truncates the result for pages beyond the 4 GiB boundary.

Cast the page index to loff_t before shifting to produce a correct
64-bit byte offset.
