2018-07-29squashfs: be more careful about metadata corruptionLinus Torvalds1-0/+6
Anatoly Trosinenko reports that a corrupted squashfs image can cause a kernel oops. It turns out that squashfs can end up being confused about negative fragment lengths. The regular squashfs_read_data() does check for negative lengths, but squashfs_read_metadata() did not, and the fragment size code just blindly trusted the on-disk value. Fix both the fragment parsing and the metadata reading code.

2017-09-08squashfs: Add zstd supportSean Purcell1-0/+1
Add zstd compression and decompression support to SquashFS. zstd is a great fit for SquashFS because it can compress at ratios approaching xz, while decompressing twice as fast as zlib. For SquashFS in particular, it can decompress as fast as lzo and lz4. It also has the flexibility to turn down the compression ratio for faster compression times. The compression benchmark is run on the file tree from the SquashFS archive found in ubuntu-16.10-desktop-amd64.iso [1]. It uses `mksquashfs` with the default block size (128 KB) and and various compression algorithms/levels. xz and zstd are also benchmarked with 256 KB blocks. The decompression benchmark times how long it takes to `tar` the file tree into `/dev/null`. See the benchmark file in the upstream zstd source repository located under `contrib/linux-kernel/squashfs-benchmark.sh` [2] for details. I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM. The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a SSD. | Method | Ratio | Compression MB/s | Decompression MB/s | |----------------|-------|------------------|--------------------| | gzip | 2.92 | 15 | 128 | | lzo | 2.64 | 9.5 | 217 | | lz4 | 2.12 | 94 | 218 | | xz | 3.43 | 5.5 | 35 | | xz 256 KB | 3.53 | 5.4 | 40 | | zstd 1 | 2.71 | 96 | 210 | | zstd 5 | 2.93 | 69 | 198 | | zstd 10 | 3.01 | 41 | 225 | | zstd 15 | 3.13 | 11.4 | 224 | | zstd 16 256 KB | 3.24 | 8.1 | 210 | This patch was written by Sean Purcell <me@seanp.xyz>, but I will be taking over the submission process.

2014-11-27Squashfs: add LZ4 compression supportPhillip Lougher1-0/+1
Add support for reading file systems compressed with the LZ4 compression algorithm. This patch adds the LZ4 decompressor wrapper code. Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@squashfs.org.uk>
2013-09-06Squashfs: add corruption check for type in squashfs_readdir()Phillip Lougher1-1/+4
We read the type field from disk. This value should be sanity checked for correctness to avoid an out of bounds access when reading the squashfs_filetype_table array. Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@squashfs.org.uk>
2012-03-10Squashfs: get rid of obsolete definitions in header filePhillip Lougher1-16/+0
Most of these were never used by the kernel code, but belong to the time when the header file was used by both the kernel code and the user space tools. Signed-off-by: Phillip Lougher <phillip@squashfs.org.uk>

2011-11-02Squashfs: Add an option to set dev block size to 4KPhillip Lougher1-0/+7
This commit adds an option to set the device block size used to 4K. By default Squashfs sets the device block size (sb_min_blocksize) to 1K or the smallest block size supported by the block device (if larger). This, because blocks are packed together and unaligned in Squashfs, should reduce latency. This, however, gives poor performance on MTD NAND devices where the optimal I/O size is 4K (even though the devices can support smaller block sizes). Using a 4K device block size may also improve overall I/O performance for some file access patterns (e.g. sequential accesses of files in filesystem order) on all media.

2011-02-28Squashfs: extend decompressor framework to handle compression optionsPhillip Lougher1-0/+4
Extend decompressor framework to handle compression options stored in the filesystem. These options can be used by the relevant decompressor at initialisation time to over-ride defaults. The presence of compression options in the filesystem is indicated by the COMP_OPT filesystem flag. If present the data is read from the filesystem and passed to the decompressor init function. The decompressor init function signature has been extended to take this data. Also update the init function signature in the glib, lzo and xz decompressor wrappers.
