[PATCH 2/6] Squashfs: add compression options support to xz decompressor

From: Phillip Lougher
Date: Mon Feb 28 2011 - 18:34:44 EST



Pass the dictionary size used to compress datablocks. Using a
dictionary size less than the block size saves memory overhead, in many
cases without adversely affecting compression ratio.
