      zram: use notify_free to account all free notifications · 015254da
      Sergey Senozhatsky 提交于
      `notify_free' device attribute accounts the number of slot free
      notifications and internally represents the number of zram_free_page()
      calls.  Slot free notifications are sent only when device is used as a
      swap device, hence `notify_free' is used only for swap devices.  Since
      f4659d8e (zram: support REQ_DISCARD) ZRAM handles yet another one
      free notification (also via zram_free_page() call) -- REQ_DISCARD
      requests, which are sent by a filesystem, whenever some data blocks are
      discarded.  However, there is no way to know the number of notifications
      in the latter case.
      
      Use `notify_free' to account the number of pages freed by
      zram_bio_discard() and zram_slot_free_notify().  Depending on usage
      scenario `notify_free' represents:
      
       a) the number of pages freed because of slot free notifications, which is
         equal to the number of swap_slot_free_notify() calls, so there is no
         behaviour change
      
       b) the number of pages freed because of REQ_DISCARD notifications

      zram: report maximum used memory · 461a8eee
      Minchan Kim 提交于
      Normally, zram user could get maximum memory usage zram consumed via
      polling mem_used_total with sysfs in userspace.
      
      But it has a critical problem because user can miss peak memory usage
      during update inverval of polling.  For avoiding that, user should poll it
      with shorter interval(ie, 0.0000000001s) with mlocking to avoid page fault
      delay when memory pressure is heavy.  It would be troublesome.
      
      This patch adds new knob "mem_used_max" so user could see the maximum
      memory usage easily via reading the knob and reset it via "echo 0 >
      /sys/block/zram0/mem_used_max".

      zram: zram memory size limitation · 9ada9da9
      Minchan Kim 提交于
      Since zram has no control feature to limit memory usage, it makes hard to
      manage system memrory.
      
      This patch adds new knob "mem_limit" via sysfs to set up the a limit so
      that zram could fail allocation once it reaches the limit.
      
      In addition, user could change the limit in runtime so that he could
      manage the memory more dynamically.
      
      Initial state is no limit so it doesn't break old behavior.

      zram: add multi stream functionality · beca3ec7
      Sergey Senozhatsky 提交于
      Existing zram (zcomp) implementation has only one compression stream
      (buffer and algorithm private part), so in order to prevent data
      corruption only one write (compress operation) can use this compression
      stream, forcing all concurrent write operations to wait for stream lock
      to be released.  This patch changes zcomp to keep a compression streams
      list of user-defined size (via sysfs device attr).  Each write operation
      still exclusively holds compression stream, the difference is that we
      can have N write operations (depending on size of streams list)
      executing in parallel.  See TEST section later in commit message for
      performance data.
      
      Introduce struct zcomp_strm_multi and a set of functions to manage
      zcomp_strm stream access.  zcomp_strm_multi has a list of idle
      zcomp_strm structs, spinlock to protect idle list and wait queue, making
      it possible to perform parallel compressions.
      
      The following set of functions added:
      - zcomp_strm_multi_find()/zcomp_strm_multi_release()
        find and release a compression stream, implement required locking
      - zcomp_strm_multi_create()/zcomp_strm_multi_destroy()
        create and destroy zcomp_strm_multi
      
      zcomp ->strm_find() and ->strm_release() callbacks are set during
      initialisation to zcomp_strm_multi_find()/zcomp_strm_multi_release()
      correspondingly.
      
      Each time zcomp issues a zcomp_strm_multi_find() call, the following set
      of operations performed:
      
      - spin lock strm_lock
      - if idle list is not empty, remove zcomp_strm from idle list, spin
        unlock and return zcomp stream pointer to caller
      - if idle list is empty, current adds itself to wait queue. it will be
        awaken by zcomp_strm_multi_release() caller.
      
      zcomp_strm_multi_release():
      - spin lock strm_lock
      - add zcomp stream to idle list
      - spin unlock, wake up sleeper
      
      Minchan Kim reported that spinlock-based locking scheme has demonstrated
      a severe perfomance regression for single compression stream case,
      comparing to mutex-based (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/18/16)

      When only one compression stream available, mutex with spin on owner
      tends to perform much better than frequent wait_event()/wake_up().  This
      is why single stream implemented as a special case with mutex locking.
      
      Introduce and document zram device attribute max_comp_streams.  This
      attr shows and stores current zcomp's max number of zcomp streams
      (max_strm).  Extend zcomp's zcomp_create() with `max_strm' parameter.
      `max_strm' limits the number of zcomp_strm structs in compression
      backend's idle list (max_comp_streams).
      
      max_comp_streams used during initialisation as follows:
      -- passing to zcomp_create() max_strm equals to 1 will initialise zcomp
      using single compression stream zcomp_strm_single (mutex-based locking).
      -- passing to zcomp_create() max_strm greater than 1 will initialise zcomp
      using multi compression stream zcomp_strm_multi (spinlock-based locking).
      
      default max_comp_streams value is 1, meaning that zram with single stream
      will be initialised.
      
      Later patch will introduce configuration knob to change max_comp_streams
      on already initialised and used zcomp.

      This patch simply adds a newline character at end-of-file to those
      files in Documentation/ that currently lack one.
      
      This is done for a few different reasons:
      
      A) It's rather annoying when you do "cat some_file.txt" that your
         prompt/cursor ends up at the end of the last line of output rather
         than on a new line.
      
      B) Some tools that process files line-by-line may get confused by the
         lack of a newline on the last line.
      
      C) The "\ No newline at end of file" line in diffs annoys me for some
         reason.
      
      So, let's just add the missing newline once and for all.
