2015-11-07mm: zsmalloc: constify struct zs_pool nameSergey SENOZHATSKY1-2/+4
Constify `struct zs_pool' ->name. [akpm@inux-foundation.org: constify zpool_create_pool()'s `type' arg also] Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> Acked-by: Dan Streetman <ddstreet@ieee.org> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2015-11-07zpool: remove redundant zpool->type string, const-ify zpool_get_typeDan Streetman1-1/+1
Make the return type of zpool_get_type const; the string belongs to the zpool driver and should not be modified. Remove the redundant type field in the struct zpool; it is private to zpool.c and isn't needed since ->driver->type can be used directly. Add comments indicating strings must be null-terminated.

2015-09-10zpool: add zpool_has_pool()Dan Streetman1-0/+2
This series makes creation of the zpool and compressor dynamic, so that they can be changed at runtime. This makes using/configuring zswap easier, as before this zswap had to be configured at boot time, using boot params. This uses a single list to track both the zpool and compressor together, although Seth had mentioned an alternative which is to track the zpools and compressors using separate lists. In the most common case, only a single zpool and single compressor, using one list is slightly simpler than using two lists, and for the uncommon case of multiple zpools and/or compressors, using one list is slightly less simple (and uses slightly more memory, probably) than using two lists. This patch (of 4): Add zpool_has_pool() function, indicating if the specified type of zpool is available (i.e. zsmalloc or zbud). This allows checking if a pool is available, without actually trying to allocate it, similar to crypto_has_alg(). This is used by a following patch to zswap that enables the dynamic runtime creation of zswap zpools.

2015-06-26zpool: remove zpool_evict()Dan Streetman1-3/+2
Remove zpool_evict() helper function. As zbud is currently the only zpool implementation that supports eviction, add zpool and zpool_ops references to struct zbud_pool and directly call zpool_ops->evict(zpool, handle) on eviction. Currently zpool provides the zpool_evict helper which locks the zpool list lock and searches through all pools to find the specific one matching the caller, and call the corresponding zpool_ops->evict function. However, this is unnecessary, as the zbud pool can simply keep a reference to the zpool that created it, as well as the zpool_ops, and directly call the zpool_ops->evict function, when it needs to evict a page. This avoids a spinlock and list search in zpool for each eviction.

2015-02-13mm/zpool: add name argument to create zpoolGanesh Mahendran1-2/+3
Currently the underlay of zpool: zsmalloc/zbud, do not know who creates them. There is not a method to let zsmalloc/zbud find which caller they belong to. Now we want to add statistics collection in zsmalloc. We need to name the debugfs dir for each pool created. The way suggested by Minchan Kim is to use a name passed by caller(such as zram) to create the zsmalloc pool. /sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/zram0 This patch adds an argument `name' to zs_create_pool() and other related functions.

2014-08-07mm/zpool: implement common zpool api to zbud/zsmallocDan Streetman1-0/+106
Add zpool api. zpool provides an interface for memory storage, typically of compressed memory. Users can select what backend to use; currently the only implementations are zbud, a low density implementation with up to two compressed pages per storage page, and zsmalloc, a higher density implementation with multiple compressed pages per storage page.
