This patch introduces the use of the Intel QAT to offload EROFS data
decompression, aiming to improve the decompression performance.
A 285MiB dataset is used with the following command to create EROFS
images with different cluster sizes:
$ mkfs.erofs -zdeflate,level=9 -C{4096,16384,65536,131072,262144}
Fio is used to test the following read patterns:
$ fio -filename=testfile -bs=4k -rw=read -name=job1
$ fio -filename=testfile -bs=4k -rw=randread -name=job1
$ fio -filename=testfile -bs=4k -rw=randread --io_size=14m -name=job1
Here are some performance numbers for reference:
Processors: Intel(R) Xeon(R) 6766E (144 cores)
Memory: 512 GiB

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 reStructuredText 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.
