* Squashfs: refactor page_actorAdrien Schildknecht2017-04-111-13/+37
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch essentially does 3 things: 1/ Always use an array of page to store the data instead of a mix of buffers and pages. 2/ It is now possible to have 'holes' in a page actor, i.e. NULL pages in the array. When reading a block (default 128K), squashfs tries to grab all the pages covering this block. If a single page is up-to-date or locked, it falls back to using an intermediate buffer to do the read and then copy the pages in the actor. Allowing holes in the page actor remove the need for this intermediate buffer. 3/ Refactor the wrappers to share code that deals with page actors.

* Squashfs: remove the FILE_CACHE optionAdrien Schildknecht2017-04-111-41/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | FILE_DIRECT is working fine and offers faster results and lower memory footprint. Removing FILE_CACHE makes our life easier because we don't have to maintain 2 differents function that does the same thing.

* Squashfs: Directly decompress into the page cache for file dataPhillip Lougher2017-04-111-0/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This introduces an implementation of squashfs_readpage_block() that directly decompresses into the page cache. This uses the previously added page handler abstraction to push down the necessary kmap_atomic/kunmap_atomic operations on the page cache buffers into the decompressors. This enables direct copying into the page cache without using the slow kmap/kunmap calls. The code detects when multiple threads are racing in squashfs_readpage() to decompress the same block, and avoids this regression by falling back to using an intermediate buffer. This patch enhances the performance of Squashfs significantly when multiple processes are accessing the filesystem simultaneously because it not only reduces memcopying, but it more importantly eliminates the lock contention on the intermediate buffer.

* Squashfs: Generalise paging handling in the decompressorsPhillip Lougher2017-04-111-0/+49
Further generalise the decompressors by adding a page handler abstraction. This adds helpers to allow the decompressors to access and process the output buffers in an implementation independant manner. This allows different types of output buffer to be passed to the decompressors, with the implementation specific aspects handled at decompression time, but without the knowledge being held in the decompressor wrapper code. This will allow the decompressors to handle Squashfs cache buffers, and page cache pages. This patch adds the abstraction and an implementation for the caches.
