Hi all,

I would really like to make some progress on this and get it merged.
This patchset offsers:
* 15-30% better decompression speed
* 3 years of zstd bug fixes and code improvements
* Allows us to import zstd directly from upstream so we don't fall 3
years out of date again

Thanks,
Nick

I think it would help get it merged if someone actually volunteered to maintain
it.  As-is there is no entry in MAINTAINERS for this code.

I was discussing with Chris Mason about volunteering to maintain the
code myself.
We wanted to wait until this series got merged before going that
route, because there
was already a lot of comments about it, and I didn't want to appear to
be trying to bypass
any review or criticisms. But, please let me know what you think.

I expect that most people would like to see a commitment to maintain this code
before merging.  The usual way to do that is to add a MAINTAINERS entry.

Otherwise it is 27000 lines of code dumped on other people to maintain.
