[PATCH 1/2] erofs: accept source file descriptor via fsconfig

From: Giuseppe Scrivano <hidden>
Date: 2026-07-08 09:34:57
Also in: linux-fsdevel
Subsystem: erofs file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Gao Xiang, Chao Yu, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

Add fsparam_fd("source") so that userspace can pass an already-opened
file descriptor instead of a path string.  When the fd is provided via
fsconfig(FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "source", NULL, fd), it is stored directly
in sbi->dif0.file and erofs_fc_get_tree() skips the filp_open() call.

This is useful for mount namespaces where the backing file may not be
reachable by path, and for tools that already hold an fd to the image
(e.g. composefs reusing an erofs mount's backing file).
