Let's put it like this. LZO is mature widely used production software and Markus wrote and maintains it. Essentially this is a release from him. The main problem before with using his version directly was that it did not follow Linux coding standards, but that seems to be fixed now. It's also relatively simple and at least I didn't spot anything bad when I looked. It was runtime tested by several people on different architectures. If it was fuzzed so we can assume reasonably good security. -Andi -- ak@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
