# Linux Kernel Patch
There are two pieces, the `zstd_compress` and `zstd_decompress` kernel modules, and the BtrFS patch.
There are three pieces, the `zstd_compress` and `zstd_decompress` kernel modules, the BtrFS patch, and the SquashFS patch.
The patches are based off of the linux kernel master branch (version 4.10).

* The patch seems to be working, it doesn't crash the kernel, and compresses at speeds and ratios athat are expected.
It can still use some more testing for fringe features, like printing options.

### Benchmarks
Benchmarks run on a Ubuntu 14.04 with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM.
The VM is running on a Macbook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor,
16 GB of ram, and a SSD.
The kernel running was built from the master branch with the patch (version 4.10).
The compression benchmark is copying 10 copies of the
unzipped [silesia corpus](http://mattmahoney.net/dc/silesia.html) into a BtrFS

Benchmarks run on a Ubuntu 14.04 with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM.
The VM is running on a Macbook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor,
16 GB of ram, and a SSD.
The kernel running was built from the master branch with the patch (version 4.10).
The compression benchmark is the file tree from the SquashFS archive found in the
Ubuntu 16.10 desktop image (ubuntu-16.10-desktop-amd64.iso).
The compression benchmark uses mksquashfs with the default block size (128 KB)
and various compression algorithms/compression levels.
`xz` and `zstd` are also benchmarked with 256 KB blocks.
The decompression benchmark is timing how long it takes to `tar` the file tree
into `/dev/null`.
See `squashfs-benchmark.sh` for details.
