[PATCH v2 1/2] erofs: introduce chunk-based file on-disk format

Gao Xiang hsiangkao at linux.alibaba.com
Thu Aug 19 16:33:09 AEST 2021


Currently, uncompressed data except for tail-packing inline is
consecutive on disk.

In order to support chunk-based data deduplication, add a new
corresponding inode data layout.

In the future, the data source of chunks can be either (un)compressed.

changes since v1:
 - update a quotation mark pair suggested by Bo;
 - adjust the members of struct erofs_inode_chunk_index to keep in
   sync with struct z_erofs_vle_decompressed_index for better 
   extendibility later.

+Chunk-based file
+----------------
+In order to support chunk-based file deduplication, a new inode data layout has
+been supported since Linux v5.15: Files are split in equal-sized data chunks
+with ``extents`` area of the inode metadata indicating how to get the chunk
+data: these can be simply as a 4-byte block address array or in the 8-byte
+chunk index form (see struct erofs_inode_chunk_index in erofs_fs.h for more
+details.)
+
+By the way, chunk-based files are all uncompressed for now.

 Data compression
