Patch series "Squashfs: handle missing pages decompressing into page
cache".
This patchset enables Squashfs to handle missing pages when directly
decompressing datablocks into the page cache.
Previously if the full set of pages needed was not available, Squashfs
would have to fall back to using an intermediate buffer (the older
method), which is slower, involving a memcopy, and it introduces
contention on a shared buffer.
The first patch extends the "page actor" code to handle missing pages.
The second patch updates Squashfs_readpage_block() to use the new
functionality, and removes the code that falls back to using an
intermediate buffer.
This patchset is independent of the readahead work, and it is standalone.
It can be merged on its own.
But the readahead patch for efficiency also needs this patch-set.
This patch (of 2):
This patch extends the "page actor" code to handle missing pages.
Previously if the full set of pages needed to decompress a Squashfs
datablock was unavailable, this would cause decompression to fail on the
missing pages.
In this case direct decompression into the page cache could not be
achieved and the code would fall back to using the older intermediate
buffer method.
With this patch, direct decompression into the page cache can be achieved
with missing pages.
For "multi-shot" decompressors (zlib, xz, zstd), the page actor will
allocate a temporary buffer which is passed to the decompressor, and then
freed by the page actor.
For "single shot" decompressors (lz4, lzo) which decompress into a
contiguous "bounce buffer", and which is then copied into the page cache,
it would be pointless to allocate a temporary buffer, memcpy into it, and
then free it. For these decompressors -ENOMEM is returned, which
signifies that the memcpy for that page should be skipped.
This also happens if the data block is uncompressed.

This patch:
- Moves `include/linux/zstd.h` -> `include/linux/zstd_lib.h`
- Updates modified zstd headers to yearless copyright
- Adds a new API in `include/linux/zstd.h` that is functionally
equivalent to the in-use subset of the current API. Functions are
renamed to avoid symbol collisions with zstd, to make it clear it is
not the upstream zstd API, and to follow the kernel style guide.
- Updates all callers to use the new API.
There are no functional changes in this patch. Since there are no
functional change, I felt it was okay to update all the callers in a
single patch. Once the API is approved, the callers are mechanically
changed.
This patch is preparing for the 3rd patch in this series, which updates
zstd to version 1.4.10. Since the upstream zstd API is no longer exposed
to callers, the update can happen transparently.

ll_rw_block() function has been deprecated in favor of BIO which appears
to come with large performance improvements.
This patch decreases boot time by close to 40% when using squashfs for
the root file-system. This is observed at least in the context of
starting an Android VM on Chrome OS using crosvm. The patch was tested
on 4.19 as well as master.
This patch is largely based on Adrien Schildknecht's patch that was
originally sent as https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/9/22/814 though with some
significant changes and simplifications while also taking Phillip
Lougher's feedback into account, around preserving support for
FILE_CACHE in particular.

Add zstd compression and decompression support to SquashFS. zstd is a
great fit for SquashFS because it can compress at ratios approaching xz,
while decompressing twice as fast as zlib. For SquashFS in particular,
it can decompress as fast as lzo and lz4. It also has the flexibility
to turn down the compression ratio for faster compression times.
The compression benchmark is run on the file tree from the SquashFS archive
found in ubuntu-16.10-desktop-amd64.iso [1]. It uses `mksquashfs` with the
default block size (128 KB) and and various compression algorithms/levels.
xz and zstd are also benchmarked with 256 KB blocks. The decompression
benchmark times how long it takes to `tar` the file tree into `/dev/null`.
See the benchmark file in the upstream zstd source repository located under
`contrib/linux-kernel/squashfs-benchmark.sh` [2] for details.
I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM.
The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor,
16 GB of RAM, and a SSD.
