      Squashfs: Directly decompress into the page cache for file data · 0d455c12
      Phillip Lougher 提交于
      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.
