Hi,
This a respin of my LZMA decompression support patches, taking into account Andrew Morton's comments regarding poorly named globals:
Changes: 1. zlib_uncompress() renamed to squashfs_zlib_uncompress() (patch 1) 2. zlib_init() and zlib_free() renamed to squashfs_zlib_init() and squashfs_zlib_free() (patch 2) 3. Merged patch 7 (make decompressor init function pass superblock info) into patch 3. This was a development commit which should not have been a separate patch for review
Original patch series info:
The following patches add LZMA decompression support to Squashfs, using the in-kernel LZMA decompression library.
The patches also add a decompression framework to Squashfs. This allows LZMA decompression to be added cleanly, and it allows additional decompressors to be easily added in the future.
To enable the in-kernel LZMA decompression code to be used by Squashfs, there are two patches to the lzma code itself: one to make lzma available to non-init code, and one to make lzma reentrant. These are obviously not restricted to Squashfs, but are needed by any non-init code that may wish to use lzma compression.
These patches are available in my squashfs-devel git tree in a slightly different format (these patches have been refactored for posting, they'll be put into a git tree ASAP).

I would like to thank the CE Linux Forum (CELF) for supporting this work.
Thanks
Phillip
