- avoid memory failure when applying rolling decompression;
- optimize endio decompression logic for non-atomic contexts;
- complete a missing case which can be safely selected for inplace
I/O and thus decreasing more memory footprint;
- check unsupported on-disk inode i_format strictly;
- support adjustable lz4 sliding window size to decrease runtime
memory footprint;
- support on-disk compression configurations;
- support big pcluster decompression;
- several code cleanups / spelling correction.

Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
"In this cycle, we would like to introduce a new feature called big
pcluster so EROFS can compress file data into more than 1 fs block and
different pcluster size can be selected for each (sub-)files by
design.
The current EROFS test results on my laptop are [1]:
Testscript: erofs-openbenchmark
Testdata: enwik9 (1000000000 bytes)

which has been verified but I'd like warn it as experimental for a
while. This matches erofs-utils dev branch and I'll also release a new
userspace version for this later.
Apart from that, several improvements are also included: eg complete a
missing case for inplace I/O, optimize endio decompression logic for
non-atomic contexts and support adjustable sliding window size, ... In
addition to those, there are some cleanups as always.
Summary:
- avoid memory failure when applying rolling decompression
- optimize endio decompression logic for non-atomic contexts
- complete a missing case which can be safely selected for inplace
I/O and thus decreasing more memory footprint
- check unsupported on-disk inode i_format strictly
- support adjustable lz4 sliding window size to decrease runtime
memory footprint
- support on-disk compression configurations
- support big pcluster decompression
- several code cleanups / spelling correction"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
