Merge tag 'erofs-for-5.17-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs

Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
 "In this cycle, tail-packing data inline for compressed files is now
  supported so that tail pcluster can be stored and read together with
  inode metadata in order to save data I/O and storage space.

  In addition to that, to prepare for the upcoming subpage, folio and
  fscache features, we also introduce meta buffers to get rid of
  erofs_get_meta_page() since it was too close to the page itself.

  In addition, in order to show supported kernel features and control
  sync decompression strategy, new sysfs nodes are introduced in this
  cycle as well.

  Summary:

   - add sysfs interface and a sysfs node to control sync decompression

   - add tail-packing inline support for compressed files

   - get rid of erofs_get_meta_page()"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
