As Lasse pointed out, "Looking at fs/erofs/decompress.c,
the return value from LZ4_decompress_safe_partial is only
checked for negative value to catch errors. ... So if
I understood it correctly, if there is bad data whose
uncompressed size is much less than it should be, it can
leave part of the output buffer untouched and expose the
previous data as the file content. "

Let's fix it now.

[ Gao Xiang: v5.3+, I will manually backport this to stable later. ]

<title>erofs: use LZ4_decompress_safe() for full decoding</title>

As Lasse pointed out, "EROFS uses LZ4_decompress_safe_partial
for both partial and full blocks. Thus when it is decoding a
full block, it doesn't know if the LZ4 decoder actually decoded
all the input. The real uncompressed size could be bigger than
the value stored in the file system metadata.

Using LZ4_decompress_safe instead of _safe_partial when
decompressing a full block would help to detect errors."

So it's reasonable to use _safe in case of potential corrupted
images and it might have some speed gain as well although
I didn't observe much difference.

Note that legacy compressor (&lt; 5.3, no LZ4_0PADDING) could
encode extra data in a pcluster, which is excluded as well.

As Christoph said [1],
"vm_map_ram is supposed to generally behave better.  So if
it doesn't please report that that to the arch maintainer
and linux-mm so that they can look into the issue.  Having
user make choices of deep down kernel internals is just
a horrible interface.

Please talk to maintainers of other bits of the kernel
if you see issues and / or need enhancements. "

Let's redo the previous conclusion and kill the vmap
approach.

As Christoph said [1], "This is only cosmetic, why
not stick to feature_compat and feature_incompat?"

In my thought, requirements means "incompatible"
instead of "feature" though.

EROFS filesystem has been merged into linux-staging for a year.

EROFS is designed to be a better solution of saving extra storage
space with guaranteed end-to-end performance for read-only files
with the help of reduced metadata, fixed-sized output compression
and decompression inplace technologies.

In the past year, EROFS was greatly improved by many people as
a staging driver, self-tested, betaed by a large number of our
internal users, successfully applied to almost all in-service
HUAWEI smartphones as the part of EMUI 9.1 and proven to be stable
enough to be moved out of staging.

EROFS is a self-contained filesystem driver. Although there are
still some TODOs to be more generic, we have a dedicated team
actively keeping on working on EROFS in order to make it better
with the evolution of Linux kernel as the other in-kernel filesystems.

As Pavel suggested, it's better to do as one commit since git
can do moves and all histories will be saved in this way.

Let's promote it from staging and enhance it more actively as
a "real" part of kernel for more wider scenarios!
