Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 6/6] btrfs: Use larger zlib buffer for s390 hardware
 compression

Hello,

Could you please review the patch for btrfs below.

Apart from falling back to 1 page, I have set the condition to allocate 
4-pages zlib workspace buffer only if s390 Deflate-Conversion facility
is installed and enabled. Thus, it will take effect on s390 architecture
only.

Currently in zlib_compress_pages() I always copy input pages to the workspace
buffer prior to zlib_deflate call. Would that make sense, to pass the page
itself, as before, based on the workspace buf_size (for 1-page buffer)?

As for calling zlib_deflate with Z_FINISH flush parameter in a loop until
Z_STREAM_END is returned, that comes in agreement with the zlib manual.

Please see for more details: 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/9/537

Thanks,
Mikhail
