[PATCH 2/2 V2] Squashfs: Add LZ4 compression configuration option

From: Phillip Lougher
Date: Thu Nov 27 2014 - 14:05:00 EST


Add the glue code, and also update the documentation.

V2 patch: when porting the code to the latest -rc I forgot to update the
case where CONFIG_SQUASHFS_LZ4 is not defined, leading to a build error.

Trivial change:

+#ifndef CONFIG_SQUASHFS_LZ4
+static const struct squashfs_decompressor squashfs_lz4_comp_ops = {
+ NULL, NULL, NULL, LZ4_COMPRESSION, "lz4", 0

should be

+#ifndef CONFIG_SQUASHFS_LZ4
+static const struct squashfs_decompressor squashfs_lz4_comp_ops = {
+ NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, LZ4_COMPRESSION, "lz4", 0

=======================

Squashfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux.
-It uses zlib/lzo/xz compression to compress files, inodes and directories.
-Inodes in the system are very small and all blocks are packed to minimise
