From: Bohdan Khomutskyi <[email protected]> I discovered that several kernel configuration options related to SquashFS decompression are set sub-optimally in Fedora. But the optimal configuration is used in RHEL 8. If we set those options to match RHEL, a performance improvement could be achieved while reading from compressed SquashFS filesystem.
Please see my original message in Fedora kernel mailing list archive: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/4M6WYFOZAZYIEVNZTBVM2BTT7SIEZBNQ/ There you can find an excerpt from Linux documentation for the changed options.
