No, it doesn't really contradict anything. There are 2 different concepts,
the one is the metapage of iomap->inline_data itself. It should be in the
same page, so the inode itself and inline data can be in the same page
since currently assumed we don't support partial page read.
   ___________________________________________________
   | inode |              inline data                 |
   |<-------------- metadata page ------------------->|

 (here inline data can be multiple blocks.)
   
The other one is actual file tail blocks, I think it can cross pages due
to multiple tail inline blocks.
                            |<---------- inline data ------------->|
  _________________________________________________________________
  | file block | file block | file block | file block | file block |
  |<----------------    page   ---------------------->|<---  page

Although EROFS currently only support page-sized block, but I will look
into subpage-sized blocks after iomap work is done (due to PAGE_SIZE of
some platform is large, e.g. 64kb rather than 4kb.)

Ok, anyway, I could update it in the next version.

will update.

Yeah, will update. Thanks for pointing out!

yeah, I think it should use 0 here instead. since iomap->offset == 0
