[PATCH v4 6/8] x86: bump ZO_z_extra_bytes margin for zstd

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Nick Terrell <terrelln@xxxxxx>

Bump the ZO_z_extra_bytes margin for zstd.

Zstd needs 3 bytes per 128 KB, and has a 22 byte fixed overhead.
Zstd needs to maintain 128 KB of space at all times, since that is
the maximum block size. See the comments regarding in-place
decompression added in lib/decompress_unzstd.c for details.
