[PATCH 6/8] lib/lzo: implement run-length encoding

From: Dave Rodgman
Date: Fri Nov 30 2018 - 09:26:39 EST


When using zram, we frequently encounter long runs of zero bytes.
This adds a special case which identifies runs of zeros and encodes
them using run-length encoding.

This is faster for both compression and decompresion. For
high-entropy data which doesn't hit this case, impact is minimal.

Compression ratio is within a few percent in all cases.

This modifies the bitstream in a way which is backwards compatible
(i.e., we can decompress old bitstreams, but old versions of lzo
cannot decompress new bitstreams).

+Version 1 of LZO implements an extension to encode runs of zeros using run
+length encoding. This improves speed for data with many zeros, which is a
+common case for zram. This modifies the bitstream in a backwards compatible way
+(v1 can correctly decompress v0 compressed data, but v0 cannot read v1 data).
