erofs: support unencoded inodes for page cache share

Browse source

This patch adds inode page cache sharing functionality for unencoded
files.

I conducted experiments in the container environment. Below is the
memory usage for reading all files in two different minor versions
of container images:

+-------------------+------------------+-------------+---------------+
|       Image       | Page Cache Share | Memory (MB) |    Memory     |
|                   |                  |             | Reduction (%) |
+-------------------+------------------+-------------+---------------+
|                   |        No        |     241     |       -       |
|       redis       +------------------+-------------+---------------+
|   7.2.4 & 7.2.5   |        Yes       |     163     |      33%      |
+-------------------+------------------+-------------+---------------+

+-------------------+------------------+-------------+---------------+
|                   |        No        |     2771    |       -       |

+-------------------+------------------+-------------+---------------+
|                   |        No        |     926     |       -       |
|       mysql       +------------------+-------------+---------------+

+-------------------+------------------+-------------+---------------+
|                   |        No        |     390     |       -       |
|       nginx       +------------------+-------------+---------------+
|   7.2.4 & 7.2.5   |        Yes       |     219     |      44%      |
+-------------------+------------------+-------------+---------------+
|       tomcat      |        No        |     924     |       -       |

+-------------------+------------------+-------------+---------------+

Additionally, the table below shows the runtime memory usage of the
container:
