I might be a little late in the discussion, but I somehow missed this
before. Please don't add this xip support to cramfs, because the
whole point of cramfs is to be a simple _compressed_ filesystem,
and we really don't want to add more complexity to it.
I estimate something on the order 5-10 million Linux phones use
something similar to these patches. I wonder if there are that many
provable users of of the simple cramfs. This is where the community
has taken cramfs.
Nevertheless, I understand your point. I wrote AXFS in part because
the hacks required to do XIP on cramfs where ugly, hacky, and complex.
Please review the latest patch in the thread, it's just a draft but
the changes required are not very complex now, especially in light of
the filemap_xip.c APIs being used. It just happens not to work, yet.
Please
use something like the existing ext2 xip mode instead of add support
to romfs using the generic filemap methods.
What?? You mean like use xip_file_mmap() and implement
get_xip_page()? Did you read my latest patch?
