This introduces an implementation of squashfs_readpage_block()
that directly decompresses into the page cache.
This uses the previously added page handler abstraction to push
down the necessary kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic operations on the
page cache buffers into the decompressors. This enables
direct copying into the page cache without using the slow
kmap/kunmap calls.
The code detects when multiple threads are racing in
squashfs_readpage() to decompress the same block, and avoids
this regression by falling back to using an intermediate
buffer.
This patch enhances the performance of Squashfs significantly
when multiple processes are accessing the filesystem simultaneously
because it not only reduces memcopying, but it more importantly
eliminates the lock contention on the intermediate buffer.
Using single-thread decompression.

help
|
|
Saying Y here includes support for SquashFS 4.0 (a Compressed
|
|
Read-Only File System). Squashfs is a highly compressed read-only
|
|
filesystem for Linux. It uses zlib, lzo or xz compression to
|
|
compress both files, inodes and directories. Inodes in the system
|
|
are very small and all blocks are packed to minimise data overhead.
|
|
Block sizes greater than 4K are supported up to a maximum of 1 Mbytes
|
|
(default block size 128K). SquashFS 4.0 supports 64 bit filesystems
|
|
and files (larger than 4GB), full uid/gid information, hard links and
|
|
timestamps.
|
|
|
|
Squashfs is intended for general read-only filesystem use, for
|
|
archival use (i.e. in cases where a .tar.gz file may be used), and in
|
|
embedded systems where low overhead is needed. Further information
|
|
and tools are available from http://squashfs.sourceforge.net.
|
|
|
|
If you want to compile this as a module ( = code which can be
|
|
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want),
|
|
say M here. The module will be called squashfs. Note that the root
|
|
file system (the one containing the directory /) cannot be compiled
|
|
as a module.

depends on SQUASHFS

help
|
|
By default Squashfs sets the dev block size (sb_min_blocksize)
|
|
to 1K or the smallest block size supported by the block device
|
|
(if larger). This, because blocks are packed together and
|
|
unaligned in Squashfs, should reduce latency.
|
|
|
|
This, however, gives poor performance on MTD NAND devices where
|
|
the optimal I/O size is 4K (even though the devices can support
|
|
smaller block sizes).
|
|
|
|
Using a 4K device block size may also improve overall I/O
|
|
performance for some file access patterns (e.g. sequential
|
|
accesses of files in filesystem order) on all media.
|
|
|
|
Setting this option will force Squashfs to use a 4K device block
|
|
size by default.

By default SquashFS caches the last 3 fragments read from
|
|
the filesystem. Increasing this amount may mean SquashFS
|
|
has to re-read fragments less often from disk, at the expense
|
|
of extra system memory. Decreasing this amount will mean
|
|
SquashFS uses less memory at the expense of extra reads from disk.
|
|
|
|
Note there must be at least one cached fragment. Anything
|
|
much more than three will probably not make much difference.
