Re: [PATCH] erofs-utils: fix battach on full buffer block

[胡玮文 <sehuww@mail.scut.edu.cn>]

Hi Xiang,

After further investgate, this bug will not reveal in any released version of
mkfs.erofs. Previous patch v5 [1] will map all allocated bb when erofs_mapbh()
is called on an already mapped bb, which triggers this bug. before that patch,
under the same condition, __erofs_battach() will only be called on bb which is
not mapped, thus no need to update `tail_blkaddr'.
