+===================    =========================================================
+errors=%s              Specify whether squashfs errors trigger a kernel panic
+                       or not
+
+		       ==========  =============================================
+                         continue  errors don't trigger a panic (default)
+                            panic  trigger a panic when errors are encountered,
+                                   similar to several other filesystems (e.g.
+                                   btrfs, ext4, f2fs, GFS2, jfs, ntfs, ubifs)
+
+                                   This allows a kernel dump to be saved,
+                                   useful for analyzing and debugging the
+                                   corruption.
+                       ==========  =============================================
+threads=%s             Select the decompression mode or the number of threads
+
+                       If SQUASHFS_CHOICE_DECOMP_BY_MOUNT is set:
+
+		       ==========  =============================================
+                           single  use single-threaded decompression (default)
+
+                                   Only one block (data or metadata) can be
+                                   decompressed at any one time. This limits
+                                   CPU and memory usage to a minimum, but it
+                                   also gives poor performance on parallel I/O
+                                   workloads when using multiple CPU machines
+                                   due to waiting on decompressor availability.
+                            multi  use up to two parallel decompressors per core
+
+                                   If you have a parallel I/O workload and your
+                                   system has enough memory, using this option
+                                   may improve overall I/O performance. It
+                                   dynamically allocates decompressors on a
+                                   demand basis.
+                           percpu  use a maximum of one decompressor per core
+
+                                   It uses percpu variables to ensure
+                                   decompression is load-balanced across the
+                                   cores.
+                        1|2|3|...  configure the number of threads used for
+                                   decompression
+
+                                   The upper limit is num_online_cpus() * 2.
+                       ==========  =============================================
+
+                       If SQUASHFS_CHOICE_DECOMP_BY_MOUNT is **not** set and
+                       SQUASHFS_DECOMP_MULTI, SQUASHFS_MOUNT_DECOMP_THREADS are
+                       both set:

+		       ==========  =============================================
+                          2|3|...  configure the number of threads used for
