Kernel modules compressed with lz4

OrdinaryMagician · 2013-10-25 11:17:02

I have a custom kernel configured to have lz4 decompression support, and the kernel itself is compressed with it, but now I'm wondering... is it possible to do the same for modules or is gzip the only option?

And if anyone's wondering, I chose lz4 for the decompression speed.

gzip and xz are what kmod supports.

Module loading is only ever going to be slower when compression is involved.

Hmmm... guess I'll just make myself a custom kmod too.

I look forward to your patchset...
