Well that's attractive-looking code.
It's compression code. I've never seen compression code look nice :)
Why is this needed? What code plans to use it?
I'm itching to use it in JFFS2. Richard claims a 10% boot time speedup
and 40% improvement on file read speed, with only a slight drop in the
file compression ratio (when compared to zlib).
Would be interesting to have it as a shared base for
planned-for-May-2020 "compressed tmpfs" (and, perhaps a filesystem with
compression, which seems even harder to engineer properly).
