btrfs: Add lzo compression support
Lzo is a much faster compression algorithm than gzib, so would allow more users to enable transparent compression, and some users can choose from compression ratio and speed for different applications Usage: # mount -t btrfs -o compress[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt or # mount -t btrfs -o compress-force[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt "-o compress" without argument is still allowed for compatability. Compatibility: If we mount a filesystem with lzo compression, it will not be able be mounted in old kernels. One reason is, otherwise btrfs will directly dump compressed data, which sits in inline extent, to user. Performance: The test copied a linux source tarball (~400M) from an ext4 partition to the btrfs partition, and then extracted it. (time in second) lzo zlib nocompress copy: 10.6 21.7 14.9 extract: 70.1 94.4 66.6 (data size in MB) lzo zlib nocompress copy: 185.87 108.69 394.49 extract: 193.80 132.36 381.21 Changelog: v1 -> v2: - Select LZO_COMPRESS and LZO_DECOMPRESS in btrfs Kconfig. - Add incompability flag. - Fix error handling in compress code.
