2014-11-27Squashfs: Add LZ4 compression configuration optionPhillip Lougher
Add the glue code, and also update the documentation. Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@squashfs.org.uk>
2013-11-20Squashfs: Generalise paging handling in the decompressorsPhillip Lougher
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.

2013-11-20Squashfs: Refactor decompressor interface and codePhillip Lougher
The decompressor interface and code was written from the point of view of single-threaded operation. In doing so it mixed a lot of single-threaded implementation specific aspects into the decompressor code and elsewhere which makes it difficult to seamlessly support multiple different decompressor implementations. This patch does the following: 1. It removes compressor_options parsing from the decompressor init() function. This allows the decompressor init() function to be dynamically called to instantiate multiple decompressors, without the compressor options needing to be read and parsed each time. 2. It moves threading and all sleeping operations out of the decompressors. In doing so, it makes the decompressors non-blocking wrappers which only deal with interfacing with the decompressor implementation. 3. It splits decompressor.[ch] into decompressor generic functions in decompressor.[ch], and moves the single threaded decompressor implementation into decompressor_single.c. The result of this patch is Squashfs should now be able to support multiple decompressors by adding new decompressor_xxx.c files with specialised implementations of the functions in decompressor_single.c Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@squashfs.org.uk> Reviewed-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>
2011-07-22Squashfs: Make ZLIB compression support optionalPhillip Lougher
Squashfs now supports XZ and LZO compression in addition to ZLIB. As such it no longer makes sense to always include ZLIB support. In particular embedded systems may only use LZO or XZ compression, and the ability to exclude ZLIB support will reduce kernel size. Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@squashfs.org.uk>
2011-05-26Squashfs: update email addressPhillip Lougher
My existing email address may stop working in a month or two, so update email to one that will continue working. Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@lougher.demon.co.uk>
2011-02-28Squashfs: extend decompressor framework to handle compression optionsPhillip Lougher
Extend decompressor framework to handle compression options stored in the filesystem. These options can be used by the relevant decompressor at initialisation time to over-ride defaults. The presence of compression options in the filesystem is indicated by the COMP_OPT filesystem flag. If present the data is read from the filesystem and passed to the decompressor init function. The decompressor init function signature has been extended to take this data. Also update the init function signature in the glib, lzo and xz decompressor wrappers.

2011-01-13Squashfs: simplify CONFIG_SQUASHFS_LZO handlingPhillip Lougher
Get rid of messy repeated #if(n)def CONFIG_SQUASHFS_LZO code in decompressor.c Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@lougher.demon.co.uk>

2010-01-20Squashfs: add a decompressor frameworkPhillip Lougher
This adds a decompressor framework which allows multiple compression algorithms to be cleanly supported. Also update zlib wrapper and other code to use the new framework. Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@lougher.demon.co.uk>
