It utilizes fixed-size 36 output compression to improve storage density while keeping relatively 37 high compression ratios. Furthermore, it implements in-place 38 decompression to reuse file pages to keep compressed data temporarily 39 with proper strategies, which ensures guaranteed end-to-end runtime 40 performance under extreme memory pressure without extra cost. 41 42 For more details, see the web pages at <https://erofs.docs.kernel.org> 43 and the documentation at <file:Documentation/filesystems/erofs.rst>. 44 45 To compile EROFS filesystem support as a module, choose M here.

It is 105 particularly useful for container images with numerous blobs and 106 other sandboxes, where loop devices behave intricately. It can also 107 be used to simplify error-prone lifetime management of unnecessary 108 virtual block devices. 109 110 If you don't want to enable this feature, say N. 111 112config EROFS_FS_ZIP 113 bool "EROFS Data Compression Support" 114 depends on EROFS_FS 115 default y 116 help 117 Enable EROFS compression layouts so that filesystems containing 118 compressed files can be parsed by the kernel. 119 120 If you don't want to enable compression feature, say N. 121 122config EROFS_FS_ZIP_LZMA 123 bool "EROFS LZMA compressed data support" 124 depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP 125 default y 126 help 127 Saying Y here includes support for reading EROFS file systems 128 containing LZMA compressed data, specifically called microLZMA.
