linux-toradex.git/drivers/staging, branch v3.2.8 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules zcache: fix deadlock condition 2012-02-13T19:17:04+00:00 Dan Magenheimer dan.magenheimer@oracle.com 2012-01-25T22:32:51+00:00 5c97f5b2d4924961479e862e8fe516ba217551b3 commit 9256a4789be3dae37d00924c03546ba7958ea5a3 upstream. I discovered this deadlock condition awhile ago working on RAMster but it affects zcache as well. The list spinlock must be locked prior to the page spinlock and released after. As a result, the page copy must also be done while the locks are held. Applies to 3.2. Konrad, please push (via GregKH?)... this is definitely a bug fix so need not be pushed during a -rc0 window.

commit 9256a4789be3dae37d00924c03546ba7958ea5a3 upstream.

I discovered this deadlock condition awhile ago working on RAMster
but it affects zcache as well.  The list spinlock must be
locked prior to the page spinlock and released after.  As
a result, the page copy must also be done while the locks are held.

Applies to 3.2.  Konrad, please push (via GregKH?)...
this is definitely a bug fix so need not be pushed during
a -rc0 window.

zcache: Set SWIZ_BITS to 8 to reduce tmem bucket lock contention. 2012-02-13T19:17:04+00:00 Dan Magenheimer dan.magenheimer@oracle.com 2012-01-23T21:52:20+00:00 c1efec8273372700693661f094324081d8f3ad3d commit e8b4553457e78bcff90f70a31212a40a8fd4f0db upstream. SWIZ_BITS > 8 results in a much larger number of "tmem_obj" allocations, likely one per page-placed-in-frontswap. The tmem_obj is not huge (roughly 100 bytes), but it is large enough to add a not-insignificant memory overhead to zcache. The SWIZ_BITS=8 will get roughly the same lock contention without the space wastage. The effect of SWIZ_BITS can be thought of as "2^SWIZ_BITS is the number of unique oids that be generated" (This concept is limited to frontswap's use of tmem).
