erofs: fix file-backed mounts no longer working on EROFS partitions
Sheng Yong reported [1] that Android APEX images didn't work with commit 072a7c7cdbea ("erofs: don't bother with s_stack_depth increasing for now") because "EROFS-formatted APEX file images can be stored within an EROFS-formatted Android system partition." In response, I sent a quick fat-fingered [PATCH v3] to address the report. Unfortunately, the updated condition was incorrect: if (erofs_is_fileio_mode(sbi)) { - sb->s_stack_depth = - file_inode(sbi->dif0.file)->i_sb->s_stack_depth + 1; - if (sb->s_stack_depth > FILESYSTEM_MAX_STACK_DEPTH) { - erofs_err(sb, "maximum fs stacking depth exceeded"); + inode = file_inode(sbi->dif0.file); + if ((inode->i_sb->s_op == &erofs_sops && !sb->s_bdev) || + inode->i_sb->s_stack_depth) { The condition `!sb->s_bdev` is always true for all file-backed EROFS mounts, making the check effectively a no-op. The real fix tested and confirmed by Sheng Yong [2] at that time was [PATCH v3 RESEND], which correctly ensures the following EROFS^2 setup works: EROFS (on a block device) + EROFS (file-backed mount) But sadly I screwed it up again by upstreaming the outdated [PATCH v3]. This patch applies the same logic as the delta between the upstream [PATCH v3] and the real fix [PATCH v3 RESEND].
