## AI overview

EROFS has temporarily disabled LZ4 rolling decompression because a rare interaction with the upstream LZ4 implementation could produce corrupted data. The change prioritizes data correctness in production but increases runtime memory usage.

## Source excerpt

The EROFS read-only file-system popular for embedded systems, containers, and other use-cases has resorted to temporarily disabling its LZ4 rolling decompression support due to data corruption concerns...
