Squashfs: add SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE support

2025-09-28T18:36:14+00:00

Add support for SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE lseek() whence values. These allow much faster searches for holes and data in sparse files, which can significantly speed up file copying, e.g. before (GNU coreutils, Debian 13): cp --sparse=always big-file / took real 11m58s, user 0m5.764s, sys 11m48s after: real 0.047s, user 0.000s, sys 0.027s Where big-file has a 256 GB hole followed by 47 KB of data.

squashfs: pass the inode to squashfs_readahead_fragment()

2025-07-10T05:57:50+00:00

Patch series "squashfs: Remove page->mapping references". We're close to being able to kill page->mapping. These two patches get us a little bit closer. This patch (of 2): Eliminate a reference to page->mapping by passing the inode from the caller.

squashfs: convert squashfs_fill_page() to take a folio

2025-01-25T06:47:22+00:00

squashfs_fill_page is only used in this file, so make it static. Use kmap_local instead of kmap_atomic, and return a bool so that the caller can use folio_end_read() which saves an atomic operation over calling folio_mark_uptodate() followed by folio_unlock(). [willy@infradead.org: fix polarity of "uptodate" Thanks to Ryan for testing] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250110163300.3346321-2-willy@infradead.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20241220224634.723899-5-willy@infradead.org Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Tested-by: Ryan Roberts Cc: Phillip Lougher Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton

squashfs; convert squashfs_copy_cache() to take a folio

2025-01-25T06:47:22+00:00

Remove accesses to page->index and page->mapping. Also use folio APIs where available. This code still assumes order 0 folios.

Squashfs: Ensure all readahead pages have been used

2024-08-23T11:11:36+00:00

In the recent work to remove page->index, a sanity check that ensured all the readhead pages were covered by the Squashfs data block was removed [1]. To avoid any regression, this commit adds the sanity check back in an equivalent way. Namely the page actor will now return error if any pages are unused after completion.

Squashfs: Rewrite and update squashfs_readahead_fragment() to not use page->index

2024-08-19T12:08:21+00:00

The previous implementation lacked error checking (e.g. the bytes returned by squashfs_fill_page() is not checked), and the use of page->index could not be removed without substantially rewriting the routine to use the page actor abstraction used elsewhere.

Squashfs: Update squashfs_readahead() to not use page->index

2024-08-19T12:08:20+00:00

This commit removes references to page->index in the pages returned from __readahead_batch(), and instead uses the 'start' variable. This does reveal a bug in the previous code in that 'start' was not updated every time around the loop. This is fixed in this commit.
