squashfs: add the mount parameter theads=<single|multi|percpu>
Patch series 'squashfs: Add the mount parameter "threads="'.
Currently, Squashfs supports multiple decompressor parallel modes.
However, this mode can be configured only during kernel building and does
not support flexible selection during runtime.
In the current patch set, the mount parameter "threads=" is added to allow
users to select the parallel decompressor mode and configure the number of
decompressors when mounting a file system.
"threads=<single|multi|percpu|1|2|3|...>"
The upper limit is num_online_cpus() * 2.
This patch (of 2):
Squashfs supports three decompression concurrency modes:
Single-thread mode: concurrent reads are blocked and the memory
overhead is small.
Multi-thread mode/percpu mode: reduces concurrent read blocking but
increases memory overhead.
The corresponding schema must be fixed at compile time. During mounting,
the concurrent decompression mode cannot be adjusted based on file read
blocking.
The mount parameter theads=<single|multi|percpu> is added to select
the concurrent decompression mode of a single SquashFS file system
image.
