jffs2 compression methods

[Jörn Engel]

Hi!

Looking at fs/jffs2/compr.c:

Can we disable jffs2_dynrubin_decompress, at least for 2.5?
Compression has been disabled for 18 month now, more when 2.6
finally gets released.

What exactly is jffs2_rtime_compress and what do we need it for?
Does it really compress better than zlib? If yes, why do we use zlib?
If not, why do we use rtime?

Assuming, we do need rtime, would it make sense to kmalloc those
"positions" buffers, possibly per mount-point for speed? They take 1k,
which might or might not be ok with 4k stacks.
