19	  EROFS (Enhanced Read-Only File System) is a lightweight read-only
20	  file system with modern designs (e.g. no buffer heads, inline
21	  xattrs/data, chunk-based deduplication, multiple devices, etc.) for
22	  scenarios which need high-performance read-only solutions, e.g.
23	  smartphones with Android OS, LiveCDs and high-density hosts with
24	  numerous containers;
25
26	  It also provides transparent compression and deduplication support to
27	  improve storage density and maintain relatively high compression
28	  ratios, and it implements in-place decompression to temporarily reuse
29	  page cache for compressed data using proper strategies, which is
30	  quite useful for ensuring guaranteed end-to-end runtime decompression
31	  performance under extreme memory pressure without extra cost.
32
33	  See the documentation at <file:Documentation/filesystems/erofs.rst>
34	  and the web pages at <https://erofs.docs.kernel.org> for more details.
35
36	  If unsure, say N.

38config EROFS_FS_DEBUG
39	bool "EROFS debugging feature"
40	depends on EROFS_FS
41	help
42	  Print debugging messages and enable more BUG_ONs which check
43	  filesystem consistency and find potential issues aggressively,
44	  which can be used for Android eng build, for example.
45
46	  For daily use, say N.
47
48config EROFS_FS_XATTR
49	bool "EROFS extended attributes"
50	depends on EROFS_FS
51	default y
52	help
53	  Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
54	  the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
55	  <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).
56
57	  If unsure, say N.
58
59config EROFS_FS_POSIX_ACL
60	bool "EROFS Access Control Lists"
61	depends on EROFS_FS_XATTR
62	select FS_POSIX_ACL
63	default y
64	help
65	  Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
66	  groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
67
68	  To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
69	  Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
70
71	  If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N.
72
73config EROFS_FS_SECURITY
74	bool "EROFS Security Labels"
75	depends on EROFS_FS_XATTR
76	default y
77	help
78	  Security labels provide an access control facility to support Linux
79	  Security Models (LSMs) accepted by AppArmor, SELinux, Smack and TOMOYO
80	  Linux. This option enables an extended attribute handler for file
81	  security labels in the erofs filesystem, so that it requires enabling
82	  the extended attribute support in advance.
83
84	  If you are not using a security module, say N.
85
86config EROFS_FS_BACKED_BY_FILE
87	bool "File-backed EROFS filesystem support"
88	depends on EROFS_FS
89	default y
90	help
91	  This allows EROFS to use filesystem image files directly, without
92	  the intercession of loopback block devices or likewise. It is
93	  particularly useful for container images with numerous blobs and
94	  other sandboxes, where loop devices behave intricately.  It can also
95	  be used to simplify error-prone lifetime management of unnecessary
96	  virtual block devices.
97
98	  Note that this feature, along with ongoing fanotify pre-content
99	  hooks, will eventually replace "EROFS over fscache."
100
101	  If you don't want to enable this feature, say N.
102
103config EROFS_FS_ZIP
104	bool "EROFS Data Compression Support"
105	depends on EROFS_FS
106	default y
107	help
108	  Enable transparent compression support for EROFS file systems.
109
110	  If you don't want to enable compression feature, say N.
111
112config EROFS_FS_ZIP_LZMA
113	bool "EROFS LZMA compressed data support"
114	depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
115	default y
116	help
117	  Saying Y here includes support for reading EROFS file systems
118	  containing LZMA compressed data, specifically called microLZMA. It
119	  gives better compression ratios than the default LZ4 format, at the
120	  expense of more CPU overhead.
121
122	  Say N if you want to disable LZMA compression support.
123
124config EROFS_FS_ZIP_DEFLATE
125	bool "EROFS DEFLATE compressed data support"
126	depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
127	help
128	  Saying Y here includes support for reading EROFS file systems
129	  containing DEFLATE compressed data.  It gives better compression
130	  ratios than the default LZ4 format, while it costs more CPU
131	  overhead.
132
133	  If unsure, say N.
134
135config EROFS_FS_ZIP_ZSTD
136	bool "EROFS Zstandard compressed data support"
137	depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
138	help
139	  Saying Y here includes support for reading EROFS file systems
140	  containing Zstandard compressed data.  It gives better compression
141	  ratios than the default LZ4 format, while it costs more CPU
142	  overhead and memory footprint.
143
144	  If unsure, say N.
145
146config EROFS_FS_ZIP_ACCEL
147	bool "EROFS hardware decompression support"
148	depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
149	help
150	  Saying Y here includes hardware accelerator support for reading
151	  EROFS file systems containing compressed data.  It gives better
152	  decompression speed than the software-implemented decompression, and
153	  it costs lower CPU overhead.
154
155	  Hardware accelerator support is an experimental feature for now and
156	  file systems are still readable without selecting this option.
157
158	  If unsure, say N.
159
160config EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND
161	bool "EROFS fscache-based on-demand read support (deprecated)"
162	depends on EROFS_FS
163	select FSCACHE
164	select CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND
165	help
166	  This permits EROFS to use fscache-backed data blobs with on-demand
167	  read support.
168
169	  It is now deprecated and scheduled to be removed from the kernel
170	  after fanotify pre-content hooks are landed.
171
172	  If unsure, say N.
173
174config EROFS_FS_PCPU_KTHREAD
175	bool "EROFS per-cpu decompression kthread workers"
176	depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
177	help
178	  Saying Y here enables per-CPU kthread workers pool to carry out
179	  async decompression for low latencies on some architectures.
180
181	  If unsure, say N.
182
183config EROFS_FS_PCPU_KTHREAD_HIPRI
184	bool "EROFS high priority per-CPU kthread workers"
185	depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP && EROFS_FS_PCPU_KTHREAD
186	default y
187	help
188	  This permits EROFS to configure per-CPU kthread workers to run
189	  at higher priority.
190
191	  If unsure, say N.
192
193config EROFS_FS_PAGE_CACHE_SHARE
194	bool "EROFS page cache share support (experimental)"
195	depends on EROFS_FS && EROFS_FS_XATTR && !EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND
196	help
197	  This enables page cache sharing among inodes with identical
198	  content fingerprints on the same machine.
199
200	  If unsure, say N.
