Allison Karlitskaya <allison.karlitskaya@redhat.com> says:
In context of my work on composefs/bootc I've been testing the new support
for directly mounting files with erofs (ie: without a loopback device) and
it's working well. Thanks for adding this feature --- it's a huge quality
of life improvement for us.
I've observed a strange behaviour, though: when mounting a file as an
erofs, if you read() the filesystem context fd, you always get the
following error message reported: Can't lookup blockdev.
That's caused by the code in erofs_fc_get_tree() trying to call
get_tree_bdev() and recovering from the error in case it was ENOTBLK and
CONFIG_EROFS_FS_BACKED_BY_FILE. Unfortunately, get_tree_bdev() logs the
error directly on the fs_context, so you get the error message even on
successful mounts.
It looks something like this at the syscall level:
fsopen("erofs", FSOPEN_CLOEXEC) = 3
fsconfig(3, FSCONFIG_SET_FLAG, "ro", NULL, 0) = 0
fsconfig(3, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "source", "/home/lis/src/mountcfs/cfs", 0)
= 0
fsconfig(3, FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE, NULL, NULL, 0) = 0
fsmount(3, FSMOUNT_CLOEXEC, 0) = 5
move_mount(5, "", AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/composefs.upper.KuT5aV",
MOVE_MOUNT_F_EMPTY_PATH) = 0
read(3, "e /home/lis/src/mountcfs/cfs: Can't lookup blockdev\n", 1024) = 52
This is kernel 6.12.0-0.rc0.20240926git11a299a7933e.13.fc42.x86_64 from
Fedora Rawhide.
It's a pretty minor issue, but it sent me on a wild goose chase for an hour
or two, so probably it should get fixed before the final release.
Gao Xiang <hsiangkao@linux.alibaba.com>:
Fix this by providing a get_tree_bdev_flags() helper which can be used
to silence such warnings.

erofs: use get_tree_bdev_flags() to avoid misleading messages

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 reStructuredText 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.
