For each compressed cluster, there is a straight-forward way of allocating a fixed or variable-sized (for VLE) array to record the corresponding file pages for its decompression if we decide to decompress these pages asynchronously (eg. read-ahead case), however it could take much extra on-heap memory compared with traditional uncompressed filesystems. This patch introduces a pagevec solution to reuse some allocated file page in the time-sharing approach storing parts of the array itself in order to minimize the extra memory overhead, thus only a constant and small-sized array used for booting the whole array itself up will be needed.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
