Thanks for the special reminder.  I noticed that it has been included in
this commit[*] in the dev tree.

Besides I noticed an issue when trying to configure EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND.
The above kconfig indicates that EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND depends on
NETFS_SUPPORT, while NETFS_SUPPORT has no prompt in menuconfig and can
only be selected by, e.g. fs/ceph/Kconfig:

	config CEPH_FS
        select NETFS_SUPPORT

IOW EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND will not be prompted and has no way being
configured if NETFS_SUPPORT itself is not selected by any other filesystem.


I tried to fix this in following way:

diff --git a/fs/erofs/Kconfig b/fs/erofs/Kconfig

          This permits EROFS to use fscache-backed data blobs with on-demand


But still the dependency for CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND and CACHEFILES can not
be resolved.  Though CACHEFILES is not a must during the linking stage
as EROFS only calls fscache APIs directly, CACHEFILES is indeed needed
to ensure that the EROFS on-demand functionality works at runtime.

If we let EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND select CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND, then only
CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND will be selected while CACHEFILES can be still N.
Maybe EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND needs to selct both CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND and
CACHEFILES?

Besides if we make EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND depends on CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND,
then there will be a recursive dependency loop, as

fs/netfs/Kconfig:3:error: recursive dependency detected!
fs/netfs/Kconfig:3:	symbol NETFS_SUPPORT is selected by EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND
fs/erofs/Kconfig:116:	symbol EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND depends on
CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND
fs/cachefiles/Kconfig:30:	symbol CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND depends on CACHEFILES
fs/cachefiles/Kconfig:3:	symbol CACHEFILES depends on NETFS_SUPPORT


Hi Xiang, any better idea?
