Pull erofs fixes from Gao Xiang:
"As I mentioned in the merge window pull request, there is a regression
which could cause system hang due to page migration. The corresponding
fix landed upstream through MM tree last week (commit 2e6506e1c4:
"mm/migrate: fix deadlock in migrate_pages_batch() on large folios"),
therefore large folios can be safely allowed for compressed inodes and
stress tests have been running on my fleet for over 20 days without
any regression. Users have explicitly requested this for months, so
let's allow large folios for EROFS full cases now for wider testing.
Additionally, there is a fix which addresses invalid memory accesses
on a failure path triggered by fault injection and two minor cleanups
to simplify the codebase.
Summary:
- Allow large folios on compressed inodes
- Fix invalid memory accesses if z_erofs_gbuf_growsize() partially
fails
- Two minor cleanups"

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 reStructuredText 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.
