This option enables an extended attribute handler for file 72 security labels in the erofs filesystem, so that it requires enabling 73 the extended attribute support in advance. 74 75 If you are not using a security module, say N. 76 77 config EROFS_FS_BACKED_BY_FILE 78 bool "File-backed EROFS filesystem support" 79 depends on EROFS_FS 80 default y 81 help 82 This allows EROFS to use filesystem image files directly, without 83 the intercession of loopback block devices or likewise. It is 84 particularly useful for container images with numerous blobs and 85 other sandboxes, where loop devices behave intricately. It can also 86 be used to simplify error-prone lifetime management of unnecessary 87 virtual block devices. 88 89 Note that this feature, along with ongoing fanotify pre-content 90 hooks, will eventually replace "EROFS over fscache." 91 92 If you don't want to enable this feature, say N. 93 94 config EROFS_FS_ZIP 95 bool "EROFS Data Compression Support" 96 depends on EROFS_FS 97 select LZ4_DECOMPRESS 98 default y 99 help 100 Enable fixed-sized output compression for EROFS. 101 102 If you don't want to enable compression feature, say N. 103 104 config EROFS_FS_ZIP_LZMA 105 bool "EROFS LZMA compressed data support" 106 depends on EROFS_FS_ZIP 107 select XZ_DEC 108 select XZ_DEC_MICROLZMA 109 help 110 Saying Y here includes support for reading EROFS file systems 111 containing LZMA compressed data, specifically called microLZMA.
