I have made a simple fuzzer to inject messy in inode metadata,
dir data, compressed indexes and super block,
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xiang/erofs-utils.git/commit/?h=experimental-fuzzer

I am testing with some given dirs and the following script.
Does it look reasonable?

# !/bin/bash

mkdir -p mntdir

for ((i=0; i<1000; ++i)); do
	mkfs/mkfs.erofs -F$i testdir_fsl.fuzz.img testdir_fsl > /dev/null 2>&1
	umount mntdir
	mount -t erofs -o loop testdir_fsl.fuzz.img mntdir
	for j in `find mntdir -type f`; do
		md5sum $j > /dev/null
	done
done
