[PATCH 0/3] erofs-utils: introduce fuse implementation

[Gao Xiang via Linux-erofs <linux-erofs@lists.ozlabs.org>]

From: Gao Xiang <hsiangkao@aol.com>

Hi all,

I've finished cleanup erofsfuse - a fuse implementation of erofs
just now. It's now considered as multithread safe since it's
currently stateless by killing useless caches and using high-level
libfuse APIs(also libfuse itself is MT-safe). Therefore, I don't
need to release liberofs MT-safe version for now as well.

As I said eariler, the main use of erofsfuse is to support handling
erofs images on older kernels without kernel modification, which
was requested by real vendors (thanks to folks from OPPO to pick
it up).

And to summarize the benefits of erofsfuse, I think it would be:

 - erofs images can be supported on various platforms;
 - an independent unpack tool can be developed based on this;
 - new on-disk feature can be iterated, verified effectively.

erofsfuse will be included in the upcoming erofs-utils v1.2, but
disabled by default for now. Since it still needs sometime to
stablize and also notice LZ4_decompress_safe_partial() was broken
in lz4-1.9.2, which just fixed in lz4-1.9.3 days ago [1].

BTW, recently some other people get in touch with me in private
to ask for some latest micro-benchmark among compression fses,
so I spared some extra time on this as well, see:
https://github.com/erofs/erofs-openbenchmark/wiki/linux_5.10_rc4-compression-FSes-benchmark
I might test on hikey960 board as well yet need to seek more
extra time but I think no much difference on relative
relationship (but yeah, CPU-storage combination is vital for
seqread uplimit).

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
