[PATCH v3] erofs-utils: add NBD-backed OCI image mounting

ChengyuZhu6 hudson at cyzhu.com
Mon Sep 8 20:18:13 AEST 2025


From: Chengyu Zhu <hudsonzhu at tencent.com>

- Add HTTP range downloads for OCI blobs
- Introduce ocierofs_iostream for virtual file I/O
- Add oci option for OCI image mounting with NBD backend

New mount.erofs -t erofs.nbd option: -o=[options] source-image mountpoint

Supported oci options:
- oci.platform=os/arch (default: linux/amd64)
- oci=N (extract specific layer, default: all layers)
- oci.username/oci.password (basic authentication)

e.g.:
sudo mount.erofs -t erofs.nbd  -o 'oci=0,oci.platform=linux/amd64' \
quay.io/chengyuzhu6/golang:1.22.8-erofs /mnt
