<title>zram: idle writeback fixes and cleanup</title>

<id>1d69a3f8ae77e3dbfdc1356225cce5ea9c366aec</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch includes some fixes and cleanup for idle-page writeback.

1. writeback_limit interface

Now writeback_limit interface is rather conusing.  For example, once
writeback limit budget is exausted, admin can see 0 from
/sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit which is same semantic with disable
writeback_limit at this moment.  IOW, admin cannot tell that zero came
from disable writeback limit or exausted writeback limit.

To make the interface clear, let's sepatate enable of writeback limit to
another knob - /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit_enable

* before:
  while true :
    # to re-enable writeback limit once previous one is used up
    echo 0 &gt; /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
    echo $((200&lt;&lt;20)) &gt; /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
    ..
    .. # used up the writeback limit budget

* new
  # To enable writeback limit, from the beginning, admin should
  # enable it.
  echo $((200&lt;&lt;20)) &gt; /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
  echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/zram/0/writeback_limit_enable
  while true :
    echo $((200&lt;&lt;20)) &gt; /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
    ..
    .. # used up the writeback limit budget

It's much strightforward.

2. fix condition check idle/huge writeback mode check

The mode in writeback_store is not bit opeartion any more so no need to
use bit operations.  Furthermore, current condition check is broken in
that it does writeback every pages regardless of huge/idle.

3. clean up idle_store

No need to use goto.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this round, we've focused on bug fixes since Pixel devices have
  been shipping with f2fs. Some of them were related to hardware
  encryption support which are actually not an issue in mainline, but
  would be better to merge them in order to avoid potential bugs.

  Enhancements:
   - do GC sub-sections when the section is large
   - add a flag in ioctl(SHUTDOWN) to trigger fsck for QA
   - use kvmalloc() in order to give another chance to avoid ENOMEM

  Bug fixes:
   - fix accessing memory boundaries in a malformed iamge
   - GC gives stale unencrypted block
   - GC counts in large sections
   - detect idle time more precisely
   - block allocation of DIO writes
   - race conditions between write_begin and write_checkpoint
   - allow GCs for node segments via ioctl()

  There are various clean-ups and minor bug fixes as well"

Pull char/misc driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of char and misc driver patches for 4.21-rc1.

  Lots of different types of driver things in here, as this tree seems
  to be the "collection of various driver subsystems not big enough to
  have their own git tree" lately.

  Anyway, some highlights of the changes in here:

   - binderfs: is it a rule that all driver subsystems will eventually
     grow to have their own filesystem? Binder now has one to handle the
     use of it in containerized systems.

     This was discussed at the Plumbers conference a few months ago and
     knocked into mergable shape very fast by Christian Brauner. Who
     also has signed up to be another binder maintainer, showing a
     distinct lack of good judgement :)

   - binder updates and fixes

   - mei driver updates

   - fpga driver updates and additions

   - thunderbolt driver updates

   - soundwire driver updates

   - extcon driver updates

   - nvmem driver updates

   - hyper-v driver updates

   - coresight driver updates

   - pvpanic driver additions and reworking for more device support

   - lp driver updates. Yes really, it's _finally_ moved to the proper
     parallal port driver model, something I never thought I would see
     happen. Good stuff.

   - other tiny driver updates and fixes.

  All of these have been in linux-next for a while with no reported

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block/storage for 4.21.

  Larger than usual, it was a busy round with lots of goodies queued up.
  Most notable is the removal of the old IO stack, which has been a long
  time coming. No new features for a while, everything coming in this
  week has all been fixes for things that were previously merged.

  This contains:

   - Use atomic counters instead of semaphores for mtip32xx (Arnd)

   - Cleanup of the mtip32xx request setup (Christoph)

   - Fix for circular locking dependency in loop (Jan, Tetsuo)

   - bcache (Coly, Guoju, Shenghui)
      * Optimizations for writeback caching
      * Various fixes and improvements

   - nvme (Chaitanya, Christoph, Sagi, Jay, me, Keith)
      * host and target support for NVMe over TCP
      * Error log page support
      * Support for separate read/write/poll queues
      * Much improved polling
      * discard OOM fallback
      * Tracepoint improvements

   - lightnvm (Hans, Hua, Igor, Matias, Javier)
      * Igor added packed metadata to pblk. Now drives without metadata
        per LBA can be used as well.
      * Fix from Geert on uninitialized value on chunk metadata reads.
      * Fixes from Hans and Javier to pblk recovery and write path.
      * Fix from Hua Su to fix a race condition in the pblk recovery
        code.
      * Scan optimization added to pblk recovery from Zhoujie.
      * Small geometry cleanup from me.

   - Conversion of the last few drivers that used the legacy path to
     blk-mq (me)

   - Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph)

   - Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me)

   - Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all.
     blk-mq adds support for multiple queue maps, which enables us to
     have a map per type. This in turn enables nvme to have separate
     completion queues for polling, which can then be interrupt-less.
     Also means we're ready for async polled IO, which is hopefully
     coming in the next release.

   - Killing of (now) unused block exports (Christoph)

   - Unification of the blk-rq-qos and blk-wbt wait handling (Josef)

   - Support for zoned testing with null_blk (Masato)

   - sx8 conversion to per-host tag sets (Christoph)

   - IO priority improvements (Damien)

   - mq-deadline zoned fix (Damien)

   - Ref count blkcg series (Dennis)

   - Lots of blk-mq improvements and speedups (me)

   - sbitmap scalability improvements (me)

   - Make core inflight IO accounting per-cpu (Mikulas)

   - Export timeout setting in sysfs (Weiping)

   - Cleanup the direct issue path (Jianchao)

   - Export blk-wbt internals in block debugfs for easier debugging
     (Ming)

   - Lots of other fixes and improvements"

<title>zram: writeback throttle</title>

If there are lots of write IO with flash device, it could have a
wearout problem of storage. To overcome the problem, admin needs
to design write limitation to guarantee flash health
for entire product life.

This patch creates a new knob "writeback_limit" for zram.

writeback_limit's default value is 0 so that it doesn't limit
any writeback. If admin want to measure writeback count in a
certain period, he could know it via /sys/block/zram0/bd_stat's
3rd column.

If admin want to limit writeback as per-day 400M, he could do it
like below.

	MB_SHIFT=20
	4K_SHIFT=12
	echo $((400&lt;&lt;MB_SHIFT&gt;&gt;4K_SHIFT)) &gt; \
		/sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit.

If admin want to allow further write again, he could do it like below

	echo 0 &gt; /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit

If admin want to see remaining writeback budget,

	cat /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit

The writeback_limit count will reset whenever you reset zram (e.g., system
reboot, echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/zramX/reset) so keeping how many of writeback
happened until you reset the zram to allocate extra writeback budget in
next setting is user's job.

bd_stat represents things that happened in the backing device.  Currently
it supports bd_counts, bd_reads and bd_writes which are helpful to
understand wearout of flash and memory saving.

<title>zram: support idle/huge page writeback</title>

<id>a939888ec38bf1f33e4a903056677e92a4844244</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a new feature "zram idle/huge page writeback".  In the zram-swap use
case, zram usually has many idle/huge swap pages.  It's pointless to keep
them in memory (ie, zram).

To solve this problem, this feature introduces idle/huge page writeback to
the backing device so the goal is to save more memory space on embedded
systems.

Normal sequence to use idle/huge page writeback feature is as follows,

while (1) {
        # mark allocated zram slot to idle
        echo all &gt; /sys/block/zram0/idle
        # leave system working for several hours
        # Unless there is no access for some blocks on zram,
	# they are still IDLE marked pages.

        echo "idle" &gt; /sys/block/zram0/writeback
	or/and
	echo "huge" &gt; /sys/block/zram0/writeback
        # write the IDLE or/and huge marked slot into backing device
	# and free the memory.
}

Per the discussion at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20181122065926.GG3441@jagdpanzerIV/T/#u,

This patch removes direct incommpressibe page writeback feature
(d2afd25114f4 ("zram: write incompressible pages to backing device")).

Below concerns from Sergey:
== &amp;&lt; ==

"IDLE writeback" is superior to "incompressible writeback".

"incompressible writeback" is completely unpredictable and uncontrollable;
it depens on data patterns and compression algorithms.  While "IDLE
writeback" is predictable.

I even suspect, that, *ideally*, we can remove "incompressible writeback".
"IDLE pages" is a super set which also includes "incompressible" pages.
So, technically, we still can do "incompressible writeback" from "IDLE
writeback" path; but a much more reasonable one, based on a page idling
period.

I understand that you want to keep "direct incompressible writeback"
around.  ZRAM is especially popular on devices which do suffer from flash
wearout, so I can see "incompressible writeback" path becoming a dead
code, long term.

== &amp;&lt; ==

Below concerns from Minchan:
== &amp;&lt; ==

My concern is if we enable CONFIG_ZRAM_WRITEBACK in this implementation,
both hugepage/idlepage writeck will turn on.  However someuser want to
enable only idlepage writeback so we need to introduce turn on/off knob
for hugepage or new CONFIG_ZRAM_IDLEPAGE_WRITEBACK for those usecase.  I
don't want to make it complicated *if possible*.

Long term, I imagine we need to make VM aware of new swap hierarchy a
little bit different with as-is.  For example, first high priority swap
can return -EIO or -ENOCOMP, swap try to fallback to next lower priority
swap device.  With that, hugepage writeback will work tranparently.

So we could regard it as regression because incompressible pages doesn't
go to backing storage automatically.  Instead, user should do it via "echo
huge" &gt; /sys/block/zram/writeback" manually.
