  • 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.

  • There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other
    Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are
    caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the
    Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd.

    Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text
    they were part of.

  • Squashfs now supports XZ and LZO compression in addition to ZLIB.
    As such it no longer makes sense to always include ZLIB support.
    In particular embedded systems may only use LZO or XZ compression, and
    the ability to exclude ZLIB support will reduce kernel size.
