[PATCH v3 0/2] squashfs: Add the mount parameter "threads="

[Xiaoming Ni]

Currently, Squashfs supports multiple decompressor parallel modes. However, this
mode can be configured only during kernel building and does not support flexible
selection during runtime.

In the current patch set, the mount parameter "threads=" is added to allow users
to select the parallel decompressor mode and configure the number of decompressors
when mounting a file system.

"threads=<single|multi|percpu|1|2|3|...>"
The upper limit is num_online_cpus() * 2.



v3: Based on Philip Lougher's suggestion, make the following updates:
  1. The default configuration is the same as that before the patch installation.
  2. Compile the three decompression modes when the new configuration is enabled.
  3. "threads=1" supports only the SQUASHFS_DECOMP_SINGLE mode.
