Currently, z_erofs_map_blocks_iter() returns whether extents are compressed or not, and the decompression frontend gets the specific algorithms then. It works but not quite well in many aspests, for example: - The decompression frontend has to deal with whether extents are compressed or not again and lookup the algorithms if compressed. It's duplicated and too detailed about the on-disk mapping. - A new secondary compression head will be introduced later so that each file can have 2 compression algorithms at most for different type of data. It could increase the complexity of the decompression frontend if still handled in this way; - A new readmore decompression strategy will be introduced to get better performance for much bigger pcluster and lzma, which needs the specific algorithm in advance as well. Let's look up compression algorithms in z_erofs_map_blocks_iter() directly instead.

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.
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.
