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:

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?

I think the main point here is that we don't have an explicit
menuconfig item for either netfs or fscache directly.

In principle, EROFS ondemand feature only needs fscache "volume
and cookie" management framework as well as cachefiles since
they're all needed to manage EROFS cached blobs, but I'm fine
if that needs NETFS_SUPPORT is also enabled.

If netfs doesn't have a plan for a new explicit menuconfig
item for users to use, I think we have to enable as below:

But cachefiles won't be complied as modules anymore. Does it
sounds good?
