Gao Xiang a112152f6f staging: erofs: fix mis-acted TAIL merging behavior
EROFS has an optimized path called TAIL merging, which is designed
to merge multiple reads and the corresponding decompressions into
one if these requests read continuous pages almost at the same time.

In general, it behaves as follows:
 ________________________________________________________________
  ... |  TAIL  .  HEAD  |  PAGE  |  PAGE  |  TAIL    . HEAD | ...
 _____|_combined page A_|________|________|_combined page B_|____
        1  ]  ->  [  2                          ]  ->  [ 3
If the above three reads are requested in the order 1-2-3, it will
generate a large work chain rather than 3 individual work chains
to reduce scheduling overhead and boost up sequential read.

However, if Read 2 is processed slightly earlier than Read 1,
currently it still generates 2 individual work chains (chain 1, 2)
but it does in-place decompression for combined page A, moreover,
if chain 2 decompresses ahead of chain 1, it will be a race and
lead to corrupted decompressed page. This patch fixes it.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
