If Squashfs has been configured to directly read datablocks into the page cache (SQUASHFS_FILE_DIRECT), then the read_page cache is unnecessary. This improvement is due to the following two commits, which added the ability to read datablocks into the page cache when pages were missing, enabling the fallback which used an intermediate buffer to be removed. commitf268eedddf("squashfs: extend "page actor" to handle missing pages") commit1bb1a07afa("squashfs: don't use intermediate buffer if pages missing") This reduces the amount of memory used when mounting a filesystem by block_size * maximum number of threads.

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.
