(Maybe not explicitly for this part....)
erofs_map_blocks_flatmode()
...
97 nblocks = DIV_ROUND_UP(inode->i_size, PAGE_SIZE);
98 lastblk = nblocks - is_inode_flat_inline(inode);
^ here
...
Believe me EROFS_INODE_FLAT_PLAIN is used widely for EROFS images....
(if EROFS_INODE_FLAT_INLINE tail-end packing is not suitable and
no compression....)

Since 4.19 EROFS only supports EROFS_INODE_FLAT_COMPRESSION_LEGACY
(per-filesystem setting), we'd like to introduce per-file setting and
more configration for future requirements....

(Just my personal thought... erofs_inode_is_data_compressed operates
ondisk field like datamode (because we have 2 datamode for compression,
need to wrap them to judge if the file is compressed...)
so it stays at erofs_fs.h... is_inode_flat_inline operates in-memory
struct inode so it in internal.h....)
Thanks,
