Even with inplace decompression, sometimes very few temporary buffers
may be still needed for a single decompression shot (e.g. 16 pages for
64k sliding window or 4 pages for 16k sliding window). In low-memory
scenarios, it would be better to try to allocate with GFP_NOWAIT on
readahead first. That can help reduce the time spent on page allocation
under durative memory pressure.
Here are detailed performance numbers under multi-app launch benchmark
workload [1] on ARM64 Android devices (8-core CPU and 8GB of memory)
running a 5.15 LTS kernel with EROFS of 4k pclusters:
+----------------------------------------------+
| LZ4 | vanilla | patched | diff |
|----------------+---------+---------+---------|
| Average (ms) | 3364 | 2684 | -20.21% | [64k sliding window]
|----------------+---------+---------+---------|
| Average (ms) | 2079 | 1610 | -22.56% | [16k sliding window]
+----------------------------------------------+
The total size of system images for 4k pclusters is almost unchanged:
(64k sliding window) 9,117,044 KB
(16k sliding window) 9,113,096 KB
Therefore, in addition to switch the sliding window from 64k to 16k,
after applying this patch, it can eventually save 52.14% (3364 -> 1610)
on average with no memory reservation. That is particularly useful for
embedded devices with limited resources.

Add DEFLATE compression as the 3rd supported algorithm.
DEFLATE is a popular generic-purpose compression algorithm for quite
long time (many advanced formats like gzip, zlib, zip, png are all
based on that) as Apple documentation written "If you require
interoperability with non-Apple devices, use COMPRESSION_ZLIB. [1]".
Due to its popularity, there are several hardware on-market DEFLATE
accelerators, such as (s390) DFLTCC, (Intel) IAA/QAT, (HiSilicon) ZIP
accelerator, etc. In addition, there are also several high-performence
IP cores and even open-source FPGA approches available for DEFLATE.
Therefore, it's useful to support DEFLATE compression in order to find
a way to utilize these accelerators for asynchronous I/Os and get
benefits from these later.
Besides, it's a good choice to trade off between compression ratios
and performance compared to LZ4 and LZMA. The DEFLATE core format is
simple as well as easy to understand, therefore the code size of its
decompressor is small even for the bootloader use cases. The runtime
memory consumption is quite limited too (e.g. 32K + ~7K for each zlib
stream). As usual, EROFS ourperforms similar approaches too.
Alternatively, DEFLATE could still be used for some specific files
since EROFS supports multiple compression algorithms in one image.

Let's introduce multi-reference pclusters at runtime. In details,
if one pcluster is requested by multiple extents at almost the same
time (even belong to different files), the longest extent will be
decompressed as representative and the other extents are actually
copied from the longest one in one round.
After this patch, fully-referenced extents can be correctly handled
and the full decoding check needs to be bypassed for
partial-referenced extents.

Currently, ->lru is a way to arrange non-LRU pages and has some
in-kernel users. In order to minimize noticable issues of page
reclaim and cache thrashing under high memory presure, limited
temporary pages were all chained with ->lru and can be reused
during the request. However, it seems that ->lru could be removed
when folio is landing.
Let's use page->private to chain temporary pages for now instead
and transform EROFS formally after the topic of the folio / file
page design is finalized.

Add MicroLZMA support in order to maximize compression ratios for
specific scenarios. For example, it's useful for low-end embedded
boards and as a secondary algorithm in a file for specific access
patterns.
MicroLZMA is a new container format for raw LZMA1, which was created
by Lasse Collin aiming to minimize old LZMA headers and get rid of
unnecessary EOPM (end of payload marker) as well as to enable
fixed-sized output compression, especially for 4KiB pclusters.
Similar to LZ4, inplace I/O approach is used to minimize runtime
memory footprint when dealing with I/O. Overlapped decompression is
handled with 1) bounced buffer for data under processing or 2) extra
short-lived pages from the on-stack pagepool which will be shared in
the same read request (128KiB for example).

Currently, z_erofs_map_blocks_iter() returns whether extents are
compressed or not, and the decompression frontend gets the specific
algorithms then.
It works but not quite well in many aspests, for example:
- The decompression frontend has to deal with whether extents are
compressed or not again and lookup the algorithms if compressed.
It's duplicated and too detailed about the on-disk mapping.
- A new secondary compression head will be introduced later so that
each file can have 2 compression algorithms at most for different
type of data. It could increase the complexity of the decompression
frontend if still handled in this way;
- A new readmore decompression strategy will be introduced to get
better performance for much bigger pcluster and lzma, which needs
the specific algorithm in advance as well.
Let's look up compression algorithms in z_erofs_map_blocks_iter()
directly instead.

Previously, we played around with magical page->mapping for short-lived
temporary pages since we need to identify different types of pages in
the same pcluster but both invalidated and short-lived temporary pages
can have page->mapping == NULL. It was considered as safe because that
temporary pages are all non-LRU / non-movable pages.
This patch tends to use specific page->private to identify short-lived
pages instead so it won't rely on page->mapping anymore. Details are
described in "compress.h" as well.

EROFS filesystem has been merged into linux-staging for a year.
EROFS is designed to be a better solution of saving extra storage
space with guaranteed end-to-end performance for read-only files
with the help of reduced metadata, fixed-sized output compression
and decompression inplace technologies.
In the past year, EROFS was greatly improved by many people as
a staging driver, self-tested, betaed by a large number of our
internal users, successfully applied to almost all in-service
HUAWEI smartphones as the part of EMUI 9.1 and proven to be stable
enough to be moved out of staging.
EROFS is a self-contained filesystem driver. Although there are
still some TODOs to be more generic, we have a dedicated team
actively keeping on working on EROFS in order to make it better
with the evolution of Linux kernel as the other in-kernel filesystems.
As Pavel suggested, it's better to do as one commit since git
can do moves and all histories will be saved in this way.
Let's promote it from staging and enhance it more actively as
a "real" part of kernel for more wider scenarios!
