max_comp_streams device attribute has been defunct since May 2016 when zram switched to per-CPU compression streams, remove it.

Fixes a typo in the ZRAM documentation where 'dictioary' was misspelled. Corrected it to 'dictionary' in the example usage of 'algorithm_params'.

Both recompress and writeback soon will unlock slots during processing, which makes things too complex wrt possible race-conditions. We still want to clear PP_SLOT in slot_free, because this is how we figure out that slot that was selected for post-processing has been released under us and when we start post-processing we check if slot still has PP_SLOT set. At the same time, theoretically, we can have something like this: CPU0 CPU1 recompress scan slots set PP_SLOT unlock slot slot_free clear PP_SLOT allocate PP_SLOT writeback scan slots set PP_SLOT unlock slot select PP-slot test PP_SLOT So recompress will not detect that slot has been re-used and re-selected for concurrent writeback post-processing. Make sure that we only permit on post-processing operation at a time. So now recompress and writeback post-processing don't race against each other, we only need to handle slot re-use (slot_free and write), which is handled individually by each pp operation. Having recompress and writeback competing for the same slots is not exactly good anyway (can't imagine anyone doing that).

recompress device attribute supports alg=NAME parameter so that we can specify only one particular algorithm we want to perform recompression with. However, with algo params we now can have several exactly same secondary algorithms but each with its own params tuning (e.g. priority 1 configured to use more aggressive level, and priority 2 configured to use a pre-trained dictionary). Support priority=NUM parameter so that we can correctly determine which secondary algorithm we want to use.

This attribute is used to setup compression algorithms' parameters, so we can tweak algorithms' characteristics. At this point only 'level' is supported (to be extended in the future). Each call sets up parameters for one particular algorithm, which should be specified either by the algorithm's priority or algo name. This is expected to be called after corresponding algorithm is selected via comp_algorithm or recomp_algorithm. echo "priority=0 level=1" > /sys/block/zram0/algorithm_params or echo "algo=zstd level=1" > /sys/block/zram0/algorithm_params Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240902105656.1383858-16-senozhatsky@chromium.org Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@chromium.org> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Nick Terrell <terrelln@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
Moving to custom backends implementation gives us ability to have our own minimalistic and extendable API, and algorithms tunings becomes possible. The list of compression backends is empty at this point, we will add backends in the followup patches.

Introduce "max_pages" param to recompress device attribute which sets an upper limit on the number of entries (pages) zram attempts to recompress (in this particular recompression call). S/W recompression can be quite expensive so limiting the number of pages recompress touches can be quite helpful.

ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING enables two features: - per-entry ac-time tracking - debugfs interface The latter one is the reason why memory-tracking depends on DEBUG_FS, while the former one is used far beyond debugging these days. Namely ac-time is used for fine grained writeback of idle entries (pages). Move ac-time tracking under its own config option so that it can be enabled (along with writeback) on systems without DEBUG_FS.

While the sourceforge site for userspace NBD still exists, the code repository moved to github several years ago. Then with a recent patch[1], the github landing page contains just as much information as the sourceforge page, so we might as well point to a single location that also provides the code.
