Mikhail Zaslonko 3fd396afc0 btrfs: use larger zlib buffer for s390 hardware compression
In order to benefit from s390 zlib hardware compression support,
increase the btrfs zlib workspace buffer size from 1 to 4 pages (if s390
zlib hardware support is enabled on the machine).

This brings up to 60% better performance in hardware on s390 compared to
the PAGE_SIZE buffer and much more compared to the software zlib
processing in btrfs.  In case of memory pressure, fall back to a single
page buffer during workspace allocation.

The data compressed with larger input buffers will still conform to zlib
standard and thus can be decompressed also on a systems that uses only
PAGE_SIZE buffer for btrfs zlib.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
