Merge tag 'erofs-for-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs

Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
 "In this cycle, sub-page block support for uncompressed files is
  available. It's mainly used to enable original signing ('golden')
  4k-block images on arm64 with 16/64k pages. In addition, end users
  could also use this feature to build a manifest to directly refer to
  golden tar data.

  Besides, long xattr name prefix support is also introduced in this
  cycle to avoid too many xattrs with the same prefix (e.g. overlayfs
  xattrs). It's useful for erofs + overlayfs combination (like Composefs
  model): the image size is reduced by ~14% and runtime performance is
  also slightly improved.

  Others are random fixes and cleanups as usual.

  Summary:

   - Add sub-page block size support for uncompressed files

   - Support flattened block device for multi-blob images to be attached
     into virtual machines (including cloud servers) and bare metals

   - Support long xattr name prefixes to optimize images with common
     xattr namespaces (e.g. files with overlayfs xattrs) use cases

   - Various minor cleanups & fixes"
