From: Zeev Tarantov<zeev.tarantov@xxxxxxxxx> Google's Snappy data compression library is a faster alternative to LZO, optimized for x86-64. On compressible input it compresses ~2.5x faster than LZO and decompresses ~1.5-2x faster than LZO. On incompressible input, it skips the input at 100x faster than LZO and decompresses ~4x faster than LZO. It is released under BSD license. This is a kernel port from user space C++ code. The current intended use is with zram (see next patch in series). Signed-off-by: Zeev Tarantov<zeev.tarantov@xxxxxxxxx>
This is needed for zram snappy compression support. (Though I don't have any knowledge about the compression algorithm itself).
