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>
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
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 LZ4 algorithm, at the
expense of more CPU overhead.
LZMA support is an experimental feature for now and so most file
systems will be readable without selecting this option.
If unsure, say N.
