RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
Enable the efofs filesystem kernel config option in the automotive kernel and backport its support for chunk-based file on-disk format. This is needed to have filesystem level verified boot.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check that the CONFIG_EROFS_FS, CONFIG_EROFS_FS_POSIX_ACL, CONFIG_EROFS_FS_SECURITY and CONFIG_EROFS_FS_XATTR options are enabled in the kernel automotive config.
2. Create an erofs image using `mkfs.erofs --chunksize=2048 foo.erofs.img foo/` comamnd.
3.
Actual results:
The mentioned options are not enabled.
Expected results:
The mentioned options are enabled and a erofs filesystem image using chunk-based files is supported.
Additional info:
Is there an associated Bugzilla for erofs-utils?
I am also curious about formal ownership of erofs in the automotive kernel - typically every subsystem in the RHEL kernel (at least those that are enabled) get an entry in https://gitlab.com/redhat/centos-stream/src/kernel/documentation/-/blob/main/info/owners.yaml to make it clear who the maintainers and reviewers are for any given subsystem.

If there are no more people helping on erofs-utils, is it possible to land
erofs-utils into EPEL?
I could help maintain it as an external community user anyway if needed.
Anyway, it's only a suggestion on my side.
Thanks,
Gao Xiang

Sorry I didn't see this bug. I got a different request to add erofs-utils to EPEL, though, and it is stable in EPEL 9 now. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/erofs-utils
