LZ4 always reuses the decompressed buffer as its LZ77 sliding window (dynamic dictionary) for optimal performance. However, in specific cases, the output buffer may not fully contain valid page cache pages, resulting in the use of short-lived pages for temporary purposes. Due to the limited sliding window size, LZ4 shortlived bounce pages can also be reused in a sliding manner, so each bounce page can be vmapped multiple times in different relative positions by design. In order to avoiding double frees, currently, reuse counts are recorded via page refcount, but it will no longer be used as-is in the future world of Memdescs. Just maintain a lookup table to check if a shortlived page is reused.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
