      mm: remove free_area_cache · 98d1e64f
      Michel Lespinasse 提交于
      Since all architectures have been converted to use vm_unmapped_area(),
      there is no remaining use for the free_area_cache.

      zswap: add to mm/ · 2b281117
      Seth Jennings 提交于
      zswap is a thin backend for frontswap that takes pages that are in the
      process of being swapped out and attempts to compress them and store
      them in a RAM-based memory pool.  This can result in a significant I/O
      reduction on the swap device and, in the case where decompressing from
      RAM is faster than reading from the swap device, can also improve
      workload performance.
      
      It also has support for evicting swap pages that are currently
      compressed in zswap to the swap device on an LRU(ish) basis.  This
      functionality makes zswap a true cache in that, once the cache is full,
      the oldest pages can be moved out of zswap to the swap device so newer
      pages can be compressed and stored in zswap.
      
      This patch adds the zswap driver to mm/

      zbud: add to mm/ · 4e2e2770
      Seth Jennings 提交于
      zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.  It
      is designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical page.
      While this design limits storage density, it has simple and
      deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher
      density approach when reclaim will be used.
      
      zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs
      in a single memory page called a "zbud page".  The first buddy is "left
      justifed" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is
      "right justified" at the end of the zbud page.  The benefit is that if
      either buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever
      slack space that existed between the buddies, results in the largest
      possible free region within the zbud page.
      
      zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density.  The ratio of
      zpages to zbud pages can not be less than 1.  This ensures that zbud can
      never "do harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the
      uncompressed zpages would have used on their own.
      
      This implementation is a rewrite of the zbud allocator internally used
      by zcache in the driver/staging tree.  The rewrite was necessary to
      remove some of the zcache specific elements that were ingrained
      throughout and provide a generic allocation interface that can later be
      used by zsmalloc and others.
      
      This patch adds zbud to mm/ for later use by zswap.
