[PATCH 0/2] erofs: support deflate decompress by using Intel QAT

[Bo Liu]

This patch introdueces the use of the Intel QAT to decompress compressed
data in the EROFS filesystem, aiming to improve the decompression speed
of compressed datea.

We created a 285MiB compressed file and then used the following command to
create EROFS images with different cluster size.
     # mkfs.erofs -zdeflate,level=9 -C16384

fio command was used to test random read and small random read(~5%) and
sequential read performance.
     # fio -filename=testfile  -bs=4k -rw=read -name=job1
     # fio -filename=testfile  -bs=4k -rw=randread -name=job1
     # fio -filename=testfile  -bs=4k -rw=randread --io_size=14m -name=job1

Here are some performance numbers for reference:
