2018-04-06zsmalloc: introduce zs_huge_class_size()Sergey Senozhatsky1-0/+2
Patch series "zsmalloc/zram: drop zram's max_zpage_size", v3. ZRAM's max_zpage_size is a bad thing. It forces zsmalloc to store normal objects as huge ones, which results in bigger zsmalloc memory usage. Drop it and use actual zsmalloc huge-class value when decide if the object is huge or not. This patch (of 2): Not every object can be share its zspage with other objects, e.g. when the object is as big as zspage or nearly as big a zspage. For such objects zsmalloc has a so called huge class - every object which belongs to huge class consumes the entire zspage (which consists of a physical page). On x86_64, PAGE_SHIFT 12 box, the first non-huge class size is 3264, so starting down from size 3264, objects can share page(-s) and thus minimize memory wastage. ZRAM, however, has its own statically defined watermark for huge objects, namely "3 * PAGE_SIZE / 4 = 3072", and forcibly stores every object larger than this watermark (3072) as a PAGE_SIZE object, in other words, to a huge class, while zsmalloc can keep some of those objects in non-huge classes. This results in increased memory consumption. zsmalloc knows better if the object is huge or not. Introduce zs_huge_class_size() function which tells if the given object can be stored in one of non-huge classes or not. This will let us to drop ZRAM's huge object watermark and fully rely on zsmalloc when we decide if the object is huge.

2016-05-21zsmalloc: require GFP in zs_malloc()Sergey Senozhatsky1-2/+2
Pass GFP flags to zs_malloc() instead of using a fixed mask supplied to zs_create_pool(), so we can be more flexible, but, more importantly, we need this to switch zram to per-cpu compression streams -- zram will try to allocate handle with preemption disabled in a fast path and switch to a slow path (using different gfp mask) if the fast one has failed. Apart from that, this also align zs_malloc() interface with zspool/zbud.

2015-09-09zsmalloc: account the number of compacted pagesSergey Senozhatsky1-2/+2
Compaction returns back to zram the number of migrated objects, which is quite uninformative -- we have objects of different sizes so user space cannot obtain any valuable data from that number. Change compaction to operate in terms of pages and return back to compaction issuer the number of pages that were freed during compaction. So from now on we will export more meaningful value in zram<id>/mm_stat -- the number of freed (compacted) pages. This requires: (a) a rename of `num_migrated' to 'pages_compacted' (b) a internal API change -- return first_page's fullness_group from putback_zspage(), so we know when putback_zspage() did free_zspage(). It helps us to account compaction stats correctly.

2015-09-09zsmalloc/zram: introduce zs_pool_stats apiSergey Senozhatsky1-0/+6
`zs_compact_control' accounts the number of migrated objects but it has a limited lifespan -- we lose it as soon as zs_compaction() returns back to zram. It worked fine, because (a) zram had it's own counter of migrated objects and (b) only zram could trigger compaction. However, this does not work for automatic pool compaction (not issued by zram). To account objects migrated during auto-compaction (issued by the shrinker) we need to store this number in zs_pool. Define a new `struct zs_pool_stats' structure to keep zs_pool's stats there. It provides only `num_migrated', as of this writing, but it surely can be extended. A new zsmalloc zs_pool_stats() symbol exports zs_pool's stats back to caller. Use zs_pool_stats() in zram and remove `num_migrated' from zram_stats.

2015-04-16zsmalloc: support compactionMinchan Kim1-0/+1
This patch provides core functions for migration of zsmalloc. Migraion policy is simple as follows. for each size class { while { src_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY if (!src_page) break; dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_FULL if (!dst_page) dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY if (!dst_page) break; migrate(from src_page, to dst_page); } } For migration, we need to identify which objects in zspage are allocated to migrate them out. We could know it by iterating of freed objects in a zspage because first_page of zspage keeps free objects singly-linked list but it's not efficient. Instead, this patch adds a tag(ie, OBJ_ALLOCATED_TAG) in header of each object(ie, handle) so we could check whether the object is allocated easily. This patch adds another status bit in handle to synchronize between user access through zs_map_object and migration. During migration, we cannot move objects user are using due to data coherency between old object and new object.

2015-02-13mm/zpool: add name argument to create zpoolGanesh Mahendran1-1/+1
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.

2014-10-10zsmalloc: change return value unit of zs_get_total_size_bytesMinchan Kim1-1/+1
zs_get_total_size_bytes returns a amount of memory zsmalloc consumed with *byte unit* but zsmalloc operates *page unit* rather than byte unit so let's change the API so benefit we could get is that reduce unnecessary overhead (ie, change page unit with byte unit) in zsmalloc. Since return type is pages, "zs_get_total_pages" is better than "zs_get_total_size_bytes".

2014-01-31zsmalloc: move it under mmMinchan Kim1-0/+50
This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory. Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom allocator. Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations. zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to achieve these design goals. zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or "size classes" in zsmalloc terms. Instead it allows multiple single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs the slab. This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory pressure. Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage. This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE. With the kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size, the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover space. This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being directly addressable by the user. The user is given an non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request. That handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to the mapped region that can be used. The mapping is necessary since the object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages. The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly [sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com: borrow Seth's quote] Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Acked-by: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Reviewed-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Cc: Bob Liu <bob.liu@oracle.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Luigi Semenzato <semenzato@google.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
