Pull erofs updates from Gao Xiang:
"There are some new features available for this cycle. Firstly, EROFS
LZMA algorithm support, specifically called MicroLZMA, is available as
an option for embedded devices, LiveCDs and/or as the secondary
auxiliary compression algorithm besides the primary algorithm in one
file.
In order to better support the LZMA fixed-sized output compression,
especially for 4KiB pcluster size (which has lowest memory pressure
thus useful for memory-sensitive scenarios), Lasse introduced a new
LZMA header/container format called MicroLZMA to minimize the original
LZMA1 header (for example, we don't need to waste 4-byte dictionary
size and another 8-byte uncompressed size, which can be calculated by
fs directly, for each pcluster) and enable EROFS fixed-sized output
compression.
Note that MicroLZMA can also be later used by other things in addition
to EROFS too where wasting minimal amount of space for headers is
important and it can be only compiled by enabling XZ_DEC_MICROLZMA.
MicroLZMA has been supported by the latest upstream XZ embedded [1] &
XZ utils [2], apply the latest related XZ embedded upstream patches by
the XZ author Lasse here.
Secondly, multiple device is also supported in this cycle, which is
designed for multi-layer container images. By working together with
inter-layer data deduplication and compression, we can achieve the
next high-performance container image solution. Our team will announce
the new Nydus container image service [3] implementation with new RAFS
v6 (EROFS-compatible) format in Open Source Summit 2021 China [4]
soon.
Besides, the secondary compression head support and readmore
decompression strategy are also included in this cycle. There are also
some minor bugfixes and cleanups, as always.
Summary:
- support multiple devices for multi-layer container images;
- support the secondary compression head;
- support readmore decompression strategy;
- support new LZMA algorithm (specifically called MicroLZMA);
- some bugfixes & cleanups"
