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.

Currently functions in zsmalloc.c does not arranged in a readable and reasonable sequence. With the more and more functions added, we may meet below inconvenience. For example: Current functions: void zs_init() { } static void get_maxobj_per_zspage() { } Then I want to add a func_1() which is called from zs_init(), and this new added function func_1() will used get_maxobj_per_zspage() which is defined below zs_init(). void func_1() { get_maxobj_per_zspage() } void zs_init() { func_1() } static void get_maxobj_per_zspage() { } This will cause compiling issue. So we must add a declaration: static void get_maxobj_per_zspage(); before func_1() if we do not put get_maxobj_per_zspage() before func_1(). In addition, puting module_[init|exit] functions at the bottom of the file conforms to our habit. So, this patch ajusts function sequence as: /* helper functions */ ... obj_location_to_handle() ... /* Some exported functions */ ... zs_map_object() zs_unmap_object() zs_malloc() zs_free() zs_init() zs_exit() Signed-off-by: NGanesh Mahendran <opensource.ganesh@gmail.com> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Acked-by: NMinchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

I sent a patch [1] for unnecessary check in zsmalloc. And Minchan Kim found zsmalloc even does not support allocating an obj with the size of ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE in some situations. For example: In system with 64KB PAGE_SIZE and 32 bit of physical addr. Then: ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE is 32 bytes which is calculated by: MAX(32, (ZS_MAX_PAGES_PER_ZSPAGE << PAGE_SHIFT >> OBJ_INDEX_BITS)) ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE is 64KB(in current code, is PAGE_SIZE) ZS_SIZE_CLASS_DELTA is 256 bytes So, ZS_SIZE_CLASSES = (ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE - ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE) / ZS_SIZE_CLASS_DELTA + 1 = 256 In zs_create_pool(), the max size obj which can be allocated will be: ZS_MIN_ALLOC_SIZE + i * ZS_SIZE_CLASS_DELTA = 32 + 255*256 = 65312 We can see that 65312 < 65536 (ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE). So we can NOT allocate objs with size ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE(65536) which we promise upper users we can do.

The kunmap_atomic should use virtual address getting by kmap_atomic. However, some pieces of code in zsmalloc uses modified address, not the one got by kmap_atomic for kunmap_atomic. It's okay for working because zsmalloc modifies the address inner PAGE_SIZE bounday so it works with current kmap_atomic's implementation. But it's still fragile with potential changing of kmap_atomic so let's correct it. I got a subtle bug when I implemented a new feature of zsmalloc (compaction) due to a link's mishandling (the link was over page boundary). Although it was totally my mistake, it took a while to find the cause because an unpredictable kmapped address was unmapped causing an almost random crash.

zsmalloc has many size_classes to reduce fragmentation and they are in 16 bytes unit, for example, 16, 32, 48, etc., if PAGE_SIZE is 4096. And, zsmalloc has constraint that each zspage has 4 pages at maximum. In this situation, we can see interesting aspect. Let's think about size_class for 1488, 1472, ..., 1376. To prevent external fragmentation, they uses 4 pages per zspage and so all they can contain 11 objects at maximum. 16384 (4096 * 4) = 1488 * 11 + remains 16384 (4096 * 4) = 1472 * 11 + remains 16384 (4096 * 4) = ... 16384 (4096 * 4) = 1376 * 11 + remains It means that they have same characteristics and classification between them isn't needed. If we use one size_class for them, we can reduce fragementation and save some memory since both the 1488 and 1472 sized classes can only fit 11 objects into 4 pages, and an object that's 1472 bytes can fit into an object that's 1488 bytes, merging these classes to always use objects that are 1488 bytes will reduce the total number of size classes. And reducing the total number of size classes reduces overall fragmentation, because a wider range of compressed pages can fit into a single size class, leaving less unused objects in each size class. For this purpose, this patch implement size_class merging. If there is size_class that have same pages_per_zspage and same number of objects per zspage with previous size_class, we don't create new size_class. Instead, we use previous, same characteristic size_class. With this way, above example sizes (1488, 1472, ..., 1376) use just one size_class so we can get much more memory utilization.

Change zsmalloc init_zspage() logic to iterate through each object on each of its pages, checking the offset to verify the object is on the current page before linking it into the zspage. The current zsmalloc init_zspage free object linking code has logic that relies on there only being one page per zspage when PAGE_SIZE is a multiple of class->size. It calculates the number of objects for the current page, and iterates through all of them plus one, to account for the assumed partial object at the end of the page. While this currently works, the logic can be simplified to just link the object at each successive offset until the offset is larger than PAGE_SIZE, which does not rely on PAGE_SIZE being a multiple of class->size.

Currently, zram has no feature to limit memory so theoretically zram can deplete system memory. Users have asked for a limit several times as even without exhaustion zram makes it hard to control memory usage of the platform. This patchset adds the feature. Patch 1 makes zs_get_total_size_bytes faster because it would be used frequently in later patches for the new feature. Patch 2 changes zs_get_total_size_bytes's return unit from bytes to page so that zsmalloc doesn't need unnecessary operation(ie, << PAGE_SHIFT). Patch 3 adds new feature. I added the feature into zram layer, not zsmalloc because limiation is zram's requirement, not zsmalloc so any other user using zsmalloc(ie, zpool) shouldn't affected by unnecessary branch of zsmalloc. In future, if every users of zsmalloc want the feature, then, we could move the feature from client side to zsmalloc easily but vice versa would be painful. Patch 4 adds news facility to report maximum memory usage of zram so that this avoids user polling frequently via /sys/block/zram0/ mem_used_total and ensures transient max are not missed. This patch (of 4): pages_allocated has counted in size_class structure and when user of zsmalloc want to see total_size_bytes, it should gather all of count from each size_class to report the sum. It's not bad if user don't see the value often but if user start to see the value frequently, it would be not a good deal for performance pov. This patch moves the count from size_class to zs_pool so it could reduce memory footprint (from [255 * 8byte] to [sizeof(atomic_long_t)]).

Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument, and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages + nr_mappped_pages). It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these days. The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area(). The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether map_vm_area() fails or not. This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates its callers accordingly.

Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown below: get_online_cpus(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); put_online_cpus(); This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently with CPU hotplug operations). Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback registration is: cpu_notifier_register_begin(); for_each_online_cpu(cpu) init_cpu(cpu); /* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */ __register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier); cpu_notifier_register_done(); Fix the zsmalloc code by using this latter form of callback registration.

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: NMinchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Acked-by: NNitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Reviewed-by: NKonrad 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: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Zsmalloc has two methods 1) copy-based and 2) pte based to access objects that span two pages. You can see history why we supported two approach from [1]. But it was bad choice that adding hard coding to select arch which want to use pte based method because there are lots of SoC in an architecure and they can have different cache size, CPU speed and so on so it would be better to expose it to user as selectable Kconfig option like Andrew Morton suggested.

zsmalloc encodes a handle using the pfn and an object index. On hardware platforms with physical memory starting at 0x0 the pfn can be 0. This causes the encoded handle to be 0 and is incorrectly interpreted as an allocation failure. This issue affects all current and future SoCs with physical memory starting at 0x0. All MSM8974 SoCs which includes Google Nexus 5 devices are affected. To prevent this false error we ensure that the encoded handle will not be 0 when allocation succeeds.

Building zsmalloc as a module does not work on ARM because it uses an interface that is not exported: ERROR: "flush_tlb_kernel_range" [drivers/staging/zsmalloc/zsmalloc.ko] undefined! Since this is only used as a performance optimization and only on ARM, we can avoid the problem simply by not using that optimization when building zsmalloc it is a loadable module. flush_tlb_kernel_range is often an inline function, but out of the architectures that use an extern function, only powerpc exports it.

Testing the arm chromebook config against the upstream kernel produces a linker error for the zsmalloc module from staging. The symbol flush_tlb_kernel_range is not available there. Fix this by removing the reimplementation of unmap_kernel_range in the zsmalloc module and using the function directly. The unmap_kernel_range function is not usable by modules, so also disallow building the driver as a module for now.

The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and reset_page_last_nid() were judged to be inconsistent so rename them to a struct_field_op style pattern. As it looked jarring to have reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to page_mapcount_reset(). There are others like init_page_count() but as it is used throughout the arch code a rename would likely cause more conflicts than it is worth.

Recently, Matt Sealey reported he fail to build zsmalloc caused by using of local_flush_tlb_kernel_range which are architecture dependent function so !CONFIG_SMP in ARM couldn't implement it so it ends up build error following as. MODPOST 216 modules LZMA arch/arm/boot/compressed/piggy.lzma AS arch/arm/boot/compressed/lib1funcs.o ERROR: "v7wbi_flush_kern_tlb_range" [drivers/staging/zsmalloc/zsmalloc.ko] undefined! make[1]: *** [__modpost] Error 1 make: *** [modules] Error 2 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... The reason we used that function is copy method by [1] was really slow in ARM but at that time. More severe problem is ARM can prefetch speculatively on other CPUs so under us, other TLBs can have an entry only if we do flush local CPU. Russell King pointed that. Thanks! We don't have many choices except using flush_tlb_kernel_range. My experiment in ARMv7 processor 4 core didn't make any difference with zsmapbench[2] between local_flush_tlb_kernel_range and flush_tlb_kernel_range but still page-table based is much better than copy-based. * bigger is better. 1. local_flush_tlb_kernel_range: 3918795 mappings 2. flush_tlb_kernel_range : 3989538 mappings 3. copy-based: 635158 mappings This patch replace local_flush_tlb_kernel_range with flush_tlb_kernel_range which are avaialbe in all architectures because we already have used it in vmalloc allocator which are generic one so build problem should go away and performane loss shoud be void.

Right now ZS_SIZE_CLASS_DELTA is hardcoded to be 16. This creates 254 classes for systems with 4k pages. However, on PPC64 with 64k pages, it creates 4095 classes which is far too many. This patch makes ZS_SIZE_CLASS_DELTA relative to PAGE_SIZE so that regardless of the page size, there will be the same number of classes.

This patchset provides page mapping via the page table. On some archs, most notably ARM, this method has been demonstrated to be faster than copying. The logic controlling the method selection (copy vs page table) is controlled by the definition of USE_PGTABLE_MAPPING which is/can be defined for any arch that performs better with page table mapping.

firstpage already has precedent and meaning the first page of a zspage. In the case of the copy mapping functions, it is the first of a pair of pages needing to be mapped.
