Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: use smaller dictionary size for zstd module compression
Date:   Fri, 10 Sep 2021 15:09:54 +0200

By default, zstd without parameters uses a dictionary size of 8 MB.
However, most modules are much smaller than that.
Use a dictionary size of 2 MB for module compression, resulting in
slightly higher compression speed while still maintaining a good
compression ratio.
The --zstd=wlog=21 option is equivalent to --lzma2=dict=2MiB used in XZ compression.
