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.
