free_inode and most short, common static functions are fixed in
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190901055130.30572-19-hsiangkao@xxxxxxx/
For all non-static functions, all are prefixed with "erofs_"

No modification at this... (some comments already right here...)
20 /* 128-byte erofs on-disk super block */
21 struct erofs_super_block {
...
24 __le32 features; /* (aka. feature_compat) */
...
38 __le32 requirements; /* (aka. feature_incompat) */

As you said, I want it in the page cache.
The reason "why not use read_mapping_page or similar?" is simply
read_mapping_page -> .readpage -> (for bdev inode) block_read_full_page
-> create_page_buffers anyway...
sb_bread haven't obsoleted... It has similar function though...

For this case, I have no idea how to deal with...
I have little knowledge about this uuid stuff, so I just copied
from f2fs... (Could be no urgent of this field...)

My fault of spilting patches...

(For new mount API,
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190721040547.GF17978@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
, I will a look later)

The background is Al's comments in erofs v2....
(which simplify erofs_fill_super logic)
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190720224955.GD17978@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
with a specific notation...
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20190721040547.GF17978@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
