It will cost more time if compressed buffers are allocated on demand for low-latency algorithms (like lz4) so EROFS uses per-CPU buffers to keep compressed data if in-place decompression is unfulfilled. While it is kind of wasteful of memory for a device with hundreds of CPUs, and only a small number of CPUs concurrently decompress most of the time. This patch renames it as 'global buffer pool' and makes it configurable. This allows two or more CPUs to share a common buffer to reduce memory occupation.

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 reStructuredText 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.
