These patches contain several optimizations to Squashfs. ll_rw_block is replaced with submit_bio. readpages is implemented to support asynchronous readahead. Uncompressed file reads are optimized, no longer requiring the entire block to be read if the block doesn't need to be decompressed, which greatly improves random read speeds in uncompressed files. There is a separate set of patches to the userspace tools adding a whitelist of files to not compress, and an ability to set a compression threshold to avoid compressing files where there isn't a significant advantage made by compressing.
