[PATCH 5.1] zread: read files in 4k chunks

Show all headers | View raw

Currently a static sized buffer is used for reading files. At the moment
it is extremely small, making parsing of large files extremely slow.
Increase this to 4k for improved performance. This also allows reading
files like /dev/kmsg on Linux, which will error if the read buffer is
too small.
