Subject: [PATCH v2] erofs: fix .fadvise() for page cache sharing
Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 23:54:07 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260324155407.371642-1-hsiangkao@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)

Currently, .fadvise() doesn't work well if page cache sharing is on
since shared inodes belong to a pseudo fs generated with init_pseudo(),
and sb->s_bdi is the default one &noop_backing_dev_info.

Then, generic_fadvise() will just behave as a no-op if sb->s_bdi is
&noop_backing_dev_info, but as the bdev fs (the bdev fs changes
inode_to_bdi() instead), it's actually NOT a pure memfs.

Let's generate a real bdi for erofs_ishare_mnt instead.

Fixes: d86d7817c042 ("erofs: implement .fadvise for page cache share")

v2:
 - handle super_setup_bdi() failure properly.
