erofs: support flattened block device for multi-blob images
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In order to support mounting multi-blobs container image as a single
block device, add flattened block device feature for EROFS.

In this mode, all meta/data contents will be mapped into one block
space. User could compose a block device(by nbd/ublk/virtio-blk/
vhost-user-blk) from multiple sources and mount the block device by
EROFS directly. It can reduce the number of block devices used, and
it's also benefits in both VM file passthrough and distributed storage
scenarios.

You can test this using the method mentioned by:
dragonflyoss/nydus#1139
1. Compose a (nbd)block device from multi-blobs.
2. Mount EROFS on mntdir/.
3. Compare the md5sum between source dir and mntdir/.

Later, we could also use it to refer original tar blobs.
