Merge tag 'erofs-for-5.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs

Pull erofs (and fscache) updates from Gao Xiang:
 "After working on it on the mailing list for more than half a year, we
  finally form 'erofs over fscache' feature into shape. Hopefully it
  could bring more possibility to the communities.

  The story mainly started from a new project what we called "RAFS v6" [1]
  for Nydus image service almost a year ago, which enhances EROFS to be
  a new form of one bootstrap (which includes metadata representing the
  whole fs tree) + several data-deduplicated content addressable blobs
  (actually treated as multiple devices). Each blob can represent one
  container image layer but not quite exactly since all new data can be
  fully existed in the previous blobs so no need to introduce another
  new blob.

  It is actually not a new idea (at least on my side it's much like a
  simpilied casync [2] for now) and has many benefits over per-file
  blobs or some other exist ways ...
