Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
"The most notable change is the removal of the fscache backend: it has
been deprecated for almost two years, mainly because EROFS file-backed
mounts and fanotify pre-content hooks (together with erofs-utils) now
provide better functionality and simpler codebase. In addition,
fscache has depended on netfslib for years, which is undesirable for
EROFS since it is a local filesystem. More details in [1].
In addition, sparse support has been added to the pcluster layout,
which is helpful for large sparse AI datasets, and map requests for
chunk-based inodes have been optimized to be more efficient as well.
There are also the usual fixes and cleanups.
Summary:
- Report more consecutive chunks of the same type for
each iomap request
- Add sparse support for the pcluster layout
- Update the EROFS documentation overview
- Remove the deprecated fscache backend
- Various fixes and cleanups"
