I updated this as below:

 	/* current strategy of how to use managed cache */
 	unsigned char cache_strategy;
+	/* strategy of sync decompression (false - auto, true - force on) */
+	bool readahead_sync_decompress;
 
 	/* threshold for decompression synchronously */
 	unsigned int max_sync_decompress_pages;

Also updated this as below to return as early as possible:

-	if (!atomic_add_return(bios, &io->pending_bios))
+	if (atomic_add_return(bios, &io->pending_bios))
+		return;
+	/* Use workqueue and sync decompression for atomic contexts only */
+	if (in_atomic() || irqs_disabled()) {
 		queue_work(z_erofs_workqueue, &io->u.work);
+		sbi->ctx.readahead_sync_decompress = true;
+		return;
+	}
+	z_erofs_decompressqueue_work(&io->u.work);
 }

Otherwise, it looks good to me. I've applied to dev-test
for preliminary testing.
