Subject: [PATCH] libxfs: use crc32c slice-by-8 variant by default
Date: Sat, 13 May 2017 12:33:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170513193344.GK4519@birch.djwong.org> (raw)

The crc32c code used in xfsprogs was copied directly from the Linux
kernel.  However, that code selects slice-by-4 by default, which isn't
the fastest -- that's slice-by-8, which trades table size for speed.
Fix some makefile dependency problems and explicitly select the
algorithm we want.  With this patch applied, I see about a 10% drop in
CPU time running xfs_repair.
