Annotated Snippet
What: /sys/fs/erofs/features/
Date: November 2021
Contact: "Huang Jianan" <huangjianan@oppo.com>
Description: Shows all enabled kernel features.

compr_head2, sb_chksum, ztailpacking, dedupe, fragments,
48bit, metabox.
What: /sys/fs/erofs/<disk>/sync_decompress
Date: November 2021
Contact: "Huang Jianan" <huangjianan@oppo.com>
Description: Control strategy of synchronous decompression. Synchronous
decompression tries to decompress in the reader thread for
synchronous reads and small asynchronous reads (<= 12 KiB):
- 0 (auto, default): apply to synchronous reads only, but will
switch to 1 (force on) if any decompression
request is detected in atomic contexts;
- 1 (force on): apply to synchronous reads and small
asynchronous reads;
- 2 (force off): disable synchronous decompression completely.
What: /sys/fs/erofs/<disk>/drop_caches
Date: November 2024
Contact: "Guo Chunhai" <guochunhai@vivo.com>
Description: Writing to this will drop compression-related caches,
currently used to drop in-memory pclusters and cached
compressed folios:
- 1 : invalidate cached compressed folios
- 2 : drop in-memory pclusters
- 3 : drop in-memory pclusters and cached compressed folios
What: /sys/fs/erofs/accel
Date: May 2025
Contact: "Bo Liu" <liubo03@inspur.com>
Description: Used to set or show hardware accelerators in effect
and multiple accelerators are separated by '\n'.
Supported accelerator(s): qat_deflate.
Disable all accelerators with an empty string (echo > accel).
What: /sys/fs/erofs/<disk>/dir_ra_bytes
Date: July 2025
Contact: "Chao Yu" <chao@kernel.org>
Description: Used to set or show readahead bytes during readdir(), by
default the value is 16384.
- 0: disable readahead.
Annotation
- Atlas domain: Support Tooling And Documentation / Documentation.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
