I think this is important. If the FS is important for Android, yes, it should be upstreamed. Is there interest from the larger Android community? Are they pushing for upstreaming? If it is only for Huawei's particular fork of Android, why should it be upstreamed?

We will definitely upstream to AOSP as well.

You can see some prerequisite commits:
https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/platform/system...

and there are some Android commits mentioned about this staging EROFS:
https://android-review.googlesource.com/c/kernel/configs/...

We'd like to upstream to AOSP, and gain wider use of course.
