Yeah, but it seems to be part of the next LZMA algorithm patchset (with
a new brand new INCOMPET feature). I think we could introduce a __le16
lz4_max_distance field from sb reserved for now as a simple backporting
solution (since we only use < 64kb sliding window, so the image would
be forward compatibility with old kernels. 0 means 64kb sliding window,
otherwise it will < 64kb.)

And with the new INCOMPAT_COMPR_OPT feature, lz4_max_distance field
will be turned into compr_opt_off instead. And variable-array will be
used then.

So could you revise the patchset as above? Thanks!

Thanks for your patch, I agree that will reduce runtime memory
footpoint. and keep max sliding window ondisk in bytes (rather
than in blocks) is better., but could we calculate lz4_distance_pages
ahead when reading super_block?

Thanks for suggestion, i will update it soon.

Also, in the next cycle, I'd like to introduce a bitmap for available
algorithms (maximum 16-bit) for the next LZMA algorithm, and for each
available algorithm introduces an on-disk variable-array like below:
bitmap(16-bit)2   1   0
 ... LZMALZ4
__le16  compr_opt_off;  /* get the opt array start offset
(I think also in 4-byte) */

compr alg 0 (lz4)   __le16  alg_opt_size;
/* next opt off = roundup(off + alg_opt_size, 4); */
__le16  lz4_max_distance;

/* 4-byte aligned */
compr alg x (if available)  u8  alg_opt_size;
...

...

When reading sb, first, it scans the whole bitmap, and get all the
available algorithms in the image at once. And then read such compr
opts one-by-one.

Do you have some interest and extra time to implement it? :) That
makes me work less since I'm debugging mbpcluster compression now...


Sounds good, I will try to do this part of the work.

Thanks for your patch, I agree that will reduce runtime memory
footpoint. and keep max sliding window ondisk in bytes (rather
than in blocks) is better., but could we calculate lz4_distance_pages
ahead when reading super_block?

Also, in the next cycle, I'd like to introduce a bitmap for available
algorithms (maximum 16-bit) for the next LZMA algorithm, and for each
available algorithm introduces an on-disk variable-array like below:
bitmap(16-bit)2   1   0
... LZMALZ4
__le16  compr_opt_off;  /* get the opt array start offset
   (I think also in 4-byte) */

compr alg 0 (lz4)   __le16  alg_opt_size;
/* next opt off = roundup(off + alg_opt_size, 4); */
__le16  lz4_max_distance;

/* 4-byte aligned */
compr alg x (if available)  u8  alg_opt_size;
...

...

When reading sb, first, it scans the whole bitmap, and get all the
available algorithms in the image at once. And then read such compr
opts one-by-one.

Do you have some interest and extra time to implement it? :) That
makes me work less since I'm debugging mbpcluster compression now...
