Hi,
The following is a repost of the Squashfs LZ4 compression patches
updated to the latest -rc kernel. These patches were originally sent
last year, but they did not receive much interest at the time.
These patches are being reposted by popular demand. I have received
many private and public requests to repost these patches and to get
them mainlined.
My intention is to submit them in the next kernel merge window.
If you want LZ4 support in Squashfs now is a good time to publically
support the inclusion of these patches.

These patches are also available in the git repository at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pkl/squashfs-lz4.git master
Squashfs-tools 4.3 already supports LZ4 compression.
