Squashfs: Generalise paging handling in the decompressors 2013-11-20T03:59:01+00:00 Phillip Lougher phillip@squashfs.org.uk 2013-11-18T02:59:12+00:00 846b730e99518a1c9945afcb2afbe4d08a02ed80 Further generalise the decompressors by adding a page handler abstraction. This adds helpers to allow the decompressors to access and process the output buffers in an implementation independant manner. This allows different types of output buffer to be passed to the decompressors, with the implementation specific aspects handled at decompression time, but without the knowledge being held in the decompressor wrapper code. This will allow the decompressors to handle Squashfs cache buffers, and page cache pages. This patch adds the abstraction and an implementation for the caches.

Squashfs: add multi-threaded decompression using percpu variable 2013-11-20T03:58:03+00:00 Phillip Lougher phillip@squashfs.org.uk 2013-11-18T02:31:36+00:00 d208383d640727b70cd6689bc17e67e9b5ebf4ff Add a multi-threaded decompression implementation which uses percpu variables. Using percpu variables has advantages and disadvantages over implementations which do not use percpu variables. Advantages: * the nature of percpu variables ensures decompression is load-balanced across the multiple cores. * simplicity. Disadvantages: it limits decompression to one thread per core.
