As my second reply to Richard, I didn't fuzz all the on-disk fields for EROFS.
and as my reply to Richard / Greg, current EROFS is used on the top of dm-verity.

I cannot say how well EROFS will be performed on malformed images (and you can
also find the bug richard pointed out is a miswritten break->continue by myself).

I posted the upstream EROFS post on July 4, 2019 and a month and a half later,
no one can tell me (yes, thanks for kind people reply me about their suggestion)
what we should do next (you can see these emails, I sent many times) to meet
the minimal upstream requirements and rare people can even dip into my code.

That is all I want to say. I will work on autofuzz these days, and I want to
know how to meet your requirements on this (you can tell us your standard,
how well should we do).

OK, you don't reply to my post once, I have no idea how to get your first reply.

Thanks,
Gao Xiang
