help
EROFS (Enhanced Read-Only File System) is a lightweight read-only
file system with modern designs (e.g. no buffer heads, inline
xattrs/data, chunk-based deduplication, multiple devices, etc.) for
scenarios which need high-performance read-only solutions, e.g.
smartphones with Android OS, LiveCDs and high-density hosts with
numerous containers;
It also provides fixed-sized output compression support in order to
improve storage density as well as keep relatively higher compression
ratios and implements in-place decompression to reuse the file page
for compressed data temporarily with proper strategies, which is
quite useful to ensure guaranteed end-to-end runtime decompression
performance under extremely memory pressure without extra cost.
See the documentation at <file:Documentation/filesystems/erofs.rst>
and the web pages at <https://erofs.docs.kernel.org> for more details.
If unsure, say N.
config EROFS_FS_DEBUG
bool "EROFS debugging feature"
depends on EROFS_FS
help
Print debugging messages and enable more BUG_ONs which check
filesystem consistency and find potential issues aggressively,
which can be used for Android eng build, for example.
For daily use, say N.
config EROFS_FS_XATTR
bool "EROFS extended attributes"
depends on EROFS_FS
select XXHASH
default y
help
Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
<http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).
If unsure, say N.
config EROFS_FS_POSIX_ACL
bool "EROFS Access Control Lists"
depends on EROFS_FS_XATTR
select FS_POSIX_ACL
default y
help
Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N.
config EROFS_FS_SECURITY
bool "EROFS Security Labels"
depends on EROFS_FS_XATTR
default y
help
Security labels provide an access control facility to support Linux
Security Models (LSMs) accepted by AppArmor, SELinux, Smack and TOMOYO
Linux. This option enables an extended attribute handler for file
security labels in the erofs filesystem, so that it requires enabling
the extended attribute support in advance.
If you are not using a security module, say N.
config EROFS_FS_ZIP
bool "EROFS Data Compression Support"
depends on EROFS_FS
select LZ4_DECOMPRESS
default y
help
Enable fixed-sized output compression for EROFS.
If you don't want to enable compression feature, say N.
config EROFS_FS_ZIP_LZMA
bool "EROFS LZMA compressed data support"
depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
select XZ_DEC
select XZ_DEC_MICROLZMA
help
Saying Y here includes support for reading EROFS file systems
containing LZMA compressed data, specifically called microLZMA. It
gives better compression ratios than the default LZ4 format, at the
expense of more CPU overhead.
If unsure, say N.
config EROFS_FS_ZIP_DEFLATE
bool "EROFS DEFLATE compressed data support"
depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
select ZLIB_INFLATE
help
Saying Y here includes support for reading EROFS file systems
containing DEFLATE compressed data. It gives better compression
ratios than the default LZ4 format, while it costs more CPU
overhead.
DEFLATE support is an experimental feature for now and so most
file systems will be readable without selecting this option.
If unsure, say N.
config EROFS_FS_ZIP_ZSTD
bool "EROFS Zstandard compressed data support"
depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
select ZSTD_DECOMPRESS
help
Saying Y here includes support for reading EROFS file systems
containing Zstandard compressed data. It gives better compression
ratios than the default LZ4 format, while it costs more CPU
overhead.
Zstandard support is an experimental feature for now and so most
file systems will be readable without selecting this option.
If unsure, say N.
config EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND
bool "EROFS fscache-based on-demand read support"
depends on EROFS_FS
select NETFS_SUPPORT
select FSCACHE
select CACHEFILES
select CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND
help
This permits EROFS to use fscache-backed data blobs with on-demand
read support.
If unsure, say N.
config EROFS_FS_PCPU_KTHREAD
bool "EROFS per-cpu decompression kthread workers"
depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
help
Saying Y here enables per-CPU kthread workers pool to carry out
async decompression for low latencies on some architectures.
If unsure, say N.
config EROFS_FS_PCPU_KTHREAD_HIPRI
bool "EROFS high priority per-CPU kthread workers"
depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP && EROFS_FS_PCPU_KTHREAD
default y
help
This permits EROFS to configure per-CPU kthread workers to run
at higher priority.
If unsure, say N.
