Well this is exciting.

fs/erofs/data.c: In function erofs_raw_access_readahead:
fs/erofs/data.c:149:18: warning: last_block may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
	*last_block + 1 != current_block) {

It seems to be a preexisting bug, which your patch prompted gcc-7.2.0
to notice.

erofs_read_raw_page() goes in and uses *last_block, but neither of its
callers has initialized it.  Could the erofs maintainers please take a
look?
