Thanks for the report!

This bug was reported by Colin King before (next-20210407), and has already
been fixed in (next-20210408), see:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/fs/erofs/decompressor.c?h=next-20210408#n157
and
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/fs/erofs/internal.h?h=next-20210408#n405

Thanks,
