In order to benefit from s390 zlib hardware compression support, increase the btrfs zlib workspace buffer size from 1 to 4 pages (if s390 zlib hardware support is enabled on the machine). This brings up to 60% better performance in hardware on s390 compared to the PAGE_SIZE buffer and much more compared to the software zlib processing in btrfs. In case of memory pressure, fall back to a single page buffer during workspace allocation. The data compressed with larger input buffers will still conform to zlib standard and thus can be decompressed also on a systems that uses only PAGE_SIZE buffer for btrfs zlib.

README
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 Restructured Text 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.
