Subject: [PATCH] staging: erofs: don't check special inode layout

From: Yue Hu <[email protected]>

Currently, we will check if inode layout is compression or inline if
the inode is special in fill_inode(). Also set ->i_mapping->a_ops for
it. That is pointless since the both modes won't be set for special
inode when creating EROFS filesystem image. So, let's avoid it.

Have you test this patch with some actual image with legacy mkfs since
new mkfs framework have not supported special inode...

I think that is fine in priciple, however, in case to introduce some potential
issues, I will test this patch later. I will give a Reviewed-by tag after I tested
this patch.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang

Hi Xiang,

I'm studying the testing :)

However, already check the code handling for special inode in leagcy mkfs as below:

```c
break;
case EROFS_FT_BLKDEV:
case EROFS_FT_CHRDEV:
case EROFS_FT_FIFO:
case EROFS_FT_SOCK:
mkfs_rank_inode(d);
break;

default:
erofs_err("inode[%s] file_type error =%d",
d->i_fullpath,
```

No special inode layout operations, so this change should be fine.

Thx.

This patch looks good to me, if this won't fail any tests from Xiang, you can add:
