Thanks for your kindly reply!
The following is just my personal thought... If I am wrong, please
kindly point out...
As you can see, this is a new prefixed string binary search algorithm
which can provide similar performance with hashed approach (but no
need to store hash value at all), so I really care about its lookup
performance.
There is something needing to be concerned, is, whether namei() should
report any potential on-disk issues or just return -ENOENT for these
corrupted dirs, I think I tend to use the latter one.
The reason (in my opinion) is if you consider another some another
complicated non-transverse ondisk implementation, it cannot transverse
all the entires so they could/couldn't report all potential issues
in namei() (For such corrupted dir, they can return -ENOENT due
to lack of information of course, just avoiding crashing the kernel
is OK).
Therefore, in my thought, such issue can be reported by fsck-like
tools such as erofs.fsck. And actually readdir() will also report
all issues as well, thus we can have performance gain on lookup.

Yes, you are right :) -EUCLEAN/EFSCORRUPTED is actually for such thing,
nowadays, EROFS treats all EFSCORRUPTED cases into EIO, and I will
update that in one patch... (Yes, it needs to print something of course :))
