lz4hc compression in UBIFS?

[Konstantin Tokarev]

Hi all,

Are there any plans for adding lz4hc [1] compression support to UBIFS?

Benchmarks are quite impressive, and it looks like lz4hc can achieve better compression ration while providing 3.5x faster decompression. From quick look at UBIFS module sources it looks like adding new compressor supported by crypto API is a matter of a few lines of code in compress.c.

Or are there any known obstacles?
