I think some of them use dynamic partition AFAIK, but might not be with QSSI
enabled (I'm not sure, anyway, that is minor...)

Yeah, that is somewhat bad and needs fixing if canned fs_config doesn't work
as expected...
My confusion for now is that how to deal with root dir properly (it seems
make_ext4fs doesn't even care about rootdir fs_config at all if my understanding
is correct.)

Also,
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/libcutils/fs_config.cpp
https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/libcutils/canned_fs_config.cpp

are implemented quite different. So look forward to your test result (I tend
to add prefix for fs_config, but drop prefix for canned_fs_config instead.)
