Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
"In this cycle, Intel QAT hardware accelerators are supported to
improve DEFLATE decompression performance. I've tested it with the
enwik9 dataset of 1 MiB pclusters on our Intel Sapphire Rapids
bare-metal server and a PL0 ESSD, and the sequential read performance
even surpasses LZ4 software decompression on this setup.
In addition, a `fsoffset` mount option is introduced for file-backed
mounts to specify the filesystem offset in order to adapt customized
container formats.
And other improvements and minor cleanups. Summary:
- Add a `fsoffset` mount option to specify the filesystem offset
- Support Intel QAT accelerators to boost up the DEFLATE algorithm
- Initialize per-CPU workers and CPU hotplug hooks lazily to avoid
unnecessary overhead when EROFS is not mounted
- Fix file handle encoding for 64-bit NIDs
- 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.
