19	  EROFS (Enhanced Read-Only File System) is a lightweight read-only
20	  file system with modern designs (e.g. no buffer heads, inline
21	  xattrs/data, chunk-based deduplication, multiple devices, etc.) for
22	  scenarios which need high-performance read-only solutions, e.g.
23	  smartphones with Android OS, LiveCDs and high-density hosts with
24	  numerous containers;
25
26	  It also provides transparent compression and deduplication support to
27	  improve storage density and maintain relatively high compression
28	  ratios, and it implements in-place decompression to temporarily reuse
29	  page cache for compressed data using proper strategies, which is
30	  quite useful for ensuring guaranteed end-to-end runtime decompression
31	  performance under extreme memory pressure without extra cost.
32
33	  See the documentation at <file:Documentation/filesystems/erofs.rst>
34	  and the web pages at <https://erofs.docs.kernel.org> for more details.
35
36	  If unsure, say N.

38config EROFS_FS_DEBUG
39	bool "EROFS debugging feature"
40	depends on EROFS_FS
41	help
42	  Print debugging messages and enable more BUG_ONs which check
43	  filesystem consistency and find potential issues aggressively,
44	  which can be used for Android eng build, for example.
45
46	  For daily use, say N.
47
48config EROFS_FS_XATTR
49	bool "EROFS extended attributes"
50	depends on EROFS_FS
51	default y
52	help
53	  Extended attributes are name:value pairs associated with inodes by
54	  the kernel or by users (see the attr(5) manual page, or visit
55	  <http://acl.bestbits.at/> for details).
56
57	  If unsure, say N.
58
59config EROFS_FS_POSIX_ACL
60	bool "EROFS Access Control Lists"
61	depends on EROFS_FS_XATTR
62	select FS_POSIX_ACL
63	default y
64	help
65	  Posix Access Control Lists (ACLs) support permissions for users and
66	  groups beyond the owner/group/world scheme.
67
68	  To learn more about Access Control Lists, visit the POSIX ACLs for
69	  Linux website <http://acl.bestbits.at/>.
70
71	  If you don't know what Access Control Lists are, say N.
72
73config EROFS_FS_SECURITY
74	bool "EROFS Security Labels"
75	depends on EROFS_FS_XATTR
76	default y
77	help
78	  Security labels provide an access control facility to support Linux
79	  Security Models (LSMs) accepted by AppArmor, SELinux, Smack and TOMOYO
80	  Linux. This option enables an extended attribute handler for file
81	  security labels in the erofs filesystem, so that it requires enabling
82	  the extended attribute support in advance.
83
84	  If you are not using a security module, say N.
85
86config EROFS_FS_BACKED_BY_FILE
87	bool "File-backed EROFS filesystem support"
88	depends on EROFS_FS
89	default y
90	help
91	  This allows EROFS to use filesystem image files directly, without
92	  the intercession of loopback block devices or likewise. It is
93	  particularly useful for container images with numerous blobs and
94	  other sandboxes, where loop devices behave intricately.  It can also
95	  be used to simplify error-prone lifetime management of unnecessary
96	  virtual block devices.
97
98	  Note that this feature, along with ongoing fanotify pre-content
99	  hooks, will eventually replace "EROFS over fscache."
100
101	  If you don't want to enable this feature, say N.
102
103config EROFS_FS_ZIP
104	bool "EROFS Data Compression Support"
105	depends on EROFS_FS
106	default y
107	help
108	  Enable transparent compression support for EROFS file systems.
109
110	  If you don't want to enable compression feature, say N.
111
112config EROFS_FS_ZIP_LZMA
113	bool "EROFS LZMA compressed data support"
114	depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
115	help
116	  Saying Y here includes support for reading EROFS file systems
117	  containing LZMA compressed data, specifically called microLZMA. It
118	  gives better compression ratios than the default LZ4 format, at the
119	  expense of more CPU overhead.
120
121	  If unsure, say N.
122
123config EROFS_FS_ZIP_DEFLATE
124	bool "EROFS DEFLATE compressed data support"
125	depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
126	help
127	  Saying Y here includes support for reading EROFS file systems
128	  containing DEFLATE compressed data.  It gives better compression
129	  ratios than the default LZ4 format, while it costs more CPU
130	  overhead.
131
132	  DEFLATE support is an experimental feature for now and so most
133	  file systems will be readable without selecting this option.
134
135	  If unsure, say N.
136
137config EROFS_FS_ZIP_ZSTD
138	bool "EROFS Zstandard compressed data support"
139	depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
140	help
141	  Saying Y here includes support for reading EROFS file systems
142	  containing Zstandard compressed data.  It gives better compression
143	  ratios than the default LZ4 format, while it costs more CPU
144	  overhead.
145
146	  Zstandard support is an experimental feature for now and so most
147	  file systems will be readable without selecting this option.
148
149	  If unsure, say N.
150
151config EROFS_FS_ZIP_ACCEL
152	bool "EROFS hardware decompression support"
153	depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
154	help
155	  Saying Y here includes hardware accelerator support for reading
156	  EROFS file systems containing compressed data.  It gives better
157	  decompression speed than the software-implemented decompression, and
158	  it costs lower CPU overhead.
159
160	  Hardware accelerator support is an experimental feature for now and
161	  file systems are still readable without selecting this option.
162
163	  If unsure, say N.
164
165config EROFS_FS_ONDEMAND
166	bool "EROFS fscache-based on-demand read support (deprecated)"
167	depends on EROFS_FS
168	select FSCACHE
169	select CACHEFILES_ONDEMAND
170	help
171	  This permits EROFS to use fscache-backed data blobs with on-demand
172	  read support.
173
174	  It is now deprecated and scheduled to be removed from the kernel
175	  after fanotify pre-content hooks are landed.
176
177	  If unsure, say N.
178
179config EROFS_FS_PCPU_KTHREAD
180	bool "EROFS per-cpu decompression kthread workers"
181	depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP
182	help
183	  Saying Y here enables per-CPU kthread workers pool to carry out
184	  async decompression for low latencies on some architectures.
185
186	  If unsure, say N.
187
188config EROFS_FS_PCPU_KTHREAD_HIPRI
189	bool "EROFS high priority per-CPU kthread workers"
190	depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP && EROFS_FS_PCPU_KTHREAD
191	default y
192	help
193	  This permits EROFS to configure per-CPU kthread workers to run
194	  at higher priority.
195
196	  If unsure, say N.
