Hi all,

is there some official maintainer who feels responsible for
pushing the LZO update to Linus?

Otherwise I also could issue a pull-request on github, but somehow I
don't think that this is the preferred workflow.

Cheers,
Markus

Hi all,

as suggested on the mailing list I have converted the updated LZO
code into git, so please pull my "lzo-update" branch from

  git://github.com/markus-oberhumer/linux.git lzo-update

You can browse the branch at

  https://github.com/markus-oberhumer/linux/compare/lzo-update

I'd ask some official kernel maintainer for review and to push this into
linux-next so that it will hopefully land in the 3.7 release.

Share and enjoy,
Markus

Hi all,

I finally have prepared a small package that updates the LZO version
in the Linux kernel. Please get it from:

http://www.oberhumer.com/opensource/lzo/download/Testing/linux-kernel-lzo-20120716.tar.gz

As stated in the README this version is significantly faster (typically more
than 2 times faster!) than the current version, has been thoroughly tested on
x86_64/i386/powerpc platforms and is intended to get included into the
official Linux 3.6 or 3.7 release.

I encourage all compression users to test and benchmark this new version,
and I also would ask some official LZO maintainer to convert the updated
source files into a GIT commit and possibly push it to Linus or linux-next.

Share and enjoy,
Markus
