Hi all,
I've been studying LZ4 and other compression algorithms on the
kernel, and seen other projects such as zram and ubifs using the
crypto api. Is there a technical reason for not using the crypto api
for compression (and possibly for encryption) in btrfs?
I did not find any design/technical implementation choices in
btrfs development in the developer's FAQ on the wiki. If I completely
missed it, could someone point me in the right direction?
Lastly, if there is no technical reason for this, would it be
something interesting to have implemented?
Best regards
