I try to fix them in

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/linux.git/tree/fs/erofs/super.c?h=erofs-outofstaging

, including:

1) remove unneeded sbi->dev_name;

2) remove all destructors in fill_super()
349         /* get the root inode */
350         inode = erofs_iget(sb, ROOT_NID(sbi), true);
351         if (IS_ERR(inode))
352                 return PTR_ERR(inode);
353
354         if (unlikely(!S_ISDIR(inode->i_mode))) {
355                 errln("rootino(nid %llu) is not a directory(i_mode %o)",
356                       ROOT_NID(sbi), inode->i_mode);
357                 iput(inode);
358                 return -EINVAL;
359         }
360
361         sb->s_root = d_make_root(inode);
362         if (unlikely(!sb->s_root))
363                 return -ENOMEM;
364
365         erofs_shrinker_register(sb);
366 #ifdef EROFS_FS_HAS_MANAGED_CACHE
367         /* sb->s_umount is locked here, SB_BORN and SB_ACTIVE are not set */
368         mc = erofs_init_managed_cache(sb);
369         if (IS_ERR(mc))
370                 return PTR_ERR(mc);
371         sbi->managed_cache = mc;
372 #endif

...

385 /*

387  * is called, thus including umount and failed to initialize.

389 static void erofs_kill_sb(struct super_block *sb)
390 {
391         struct erofs_sb_info *sbi;
392
393         WARN_ON(sb->s_magic != EROFS_SUPER_MAGIC);
394         infoln("unmounting erofs for %s", sb->s_id);
395
396         kill_block_super(sb);
397
398         sbi = EROFS_SB(sb);
399         if (!sbi)
400                 return;
401         kfree(sbi);
402         sb->s_fs_info = NULL;
403 }
404
405 /* called when ->s_root is non-NULL */
406 static void erofs_put_super(struct super_block *sb)
407 {
408         struct erofs_sb_info *const sbi = EROFS_SB(sb);

410         DBG_BUGON(!sbi);
411
412 #ifdef EROFS_FS_HAS_MANAGED_CACHE
413         iput(sbi->managed_cache);
414         sbi->managed_cache = NULL;
415 #endif
416         erofs_shrinker_unregister(sb);
417 }

...

and I injected some faults on error paths and it seems fine...
Could you kindly check whether it makes sense? (if I understand all correctly....)

The whole patchset will be resent this morning (a few hours later), I have to sleep...
