[RFC PATCH 6/8] staging: erofs: introduce LZ4 decompression inplace

From: Gao Xiang
Date: Fri Jun 14 2019 - 14:22:31 EST


compressed data will be usually loaded into last pages of
the extent (the last page for 4k) for in-place decompression
(more specifically, in-place IO), as ilustration below,

start of compressed logical extent
| end of this logical extent
| |
______v___________________________v________
... | page 6 | page 7 | page 8 | page 9 | ...
|__________|__________|__________|__________|
. ^ . ^
. |compressed|
. | data |
. . .
|< dstsize >|<margin>|
oend iend
op ip

Therefore, it's possible to do decompression inplace (thus no
memcpy at all) if the margin is sufficient and safe enough [1],
and it can be implemented only for fixed-size output compression
compared with fixed-size input compression.

No memcpy for most of in-place IO (about 99% of enwik9) after
decompression inplace is implemented and sequential read will
be improved of course (see the following patch for test results).
