Phoronix: Zstd 1.5.4 Released With Many Performance Improvements

After being in development for nearly one year , Zstd 1.5.4 has been released with many "significant performance improvements across multiple scenarios" for this increasingly-used data compression algorithm...

When will it land in the mainline kernel?

I can't see anything submitted yet but this comment implies they plan to submit 1.5.4 for the next kernel. As the 6.3 merge window hasn't opened, perhaps we'll be lucky enough to see it merged for then.

Anything you're missing? Afaik, the current version does most jobs more than good enough?

Embedded systems with transparent disk compression would benefit significantly from this.

Performance improvements.

Looks like almost all of it is for stupid Macs.

Zstd has been one of my favorite software projects already since the alpha releases and it keeps getting better.
Compression speeds near the Pareto frontier, fast decompression, simple use of dictionaries, dictionary builders, long match mode, suitable for creating binary diffs... some things are just so much easier when you get to use a good library.

Hardware accelerated ZSTD ZRAM would be interesting

I'm on the page and I see big improvements demonstrated on i-7's and Xeons. Their lack of inclusion of Qualcomm, Broadcom, and other ARM processors doesn't mean those didn't also improve a lot. https://github.com/facebook/zstd/releases/tag/v1.5.4
