We waste sizeof(swp_entry_t) for zswap header when using zsmalloc as
zpool driver because zsmalloc doesn't support eviction.

Add zpool_evictable() to detect if zpool is potentially evictable, and
use it in zswap to avoid waste memory for zswap header.

Structure zs_pool has special flag to indicate success of shrinker

itself whether actual deinitialization should be performed or not, so
extra flag becomes redundant.

<title>zsmalloc: calling zs_map_object() from irq is a bug</title>

<content type='text'>
Use BUG_ON(in_interrupt()) in zs_map_object().  This is not a new
BUG_ON(), it's always been there, but was recently changed to
VM_BUG_ON().  There are several problems there.  First, we use use
per-CPU mappings both in zsmalloc and in zram, and interrupt may easily
corrupt those buffers.  Second, and more importantly, we believe it's
possible to start leaking sensitive information.  Consider the following
case:

-&gt; process P
	swap out
	 zram
	  per-cpu mapping CPU1
	   compress page A
-&gt; IRQ

	swap out
	 zram
	  per-cpu mapping CPU1
	   compress page B
	    write page from per-cpu mapping CPU1 to zsmalloc pool
	iret

-&gt; process P
	    write page from per-cpu mapping CPU1 to zsmalloc pool  [*]
	return

* so we store overwritten data that actually belongs to another
  page (task) and potentially contains sensitive data. And when
  process P will page fault it's going to read (swap in) that
  other task's data.

<title>mm/migrate: new migrate mode MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY</title>

<id>2916ecc0f9d435d849c98f4da50e453124c87531</id>
<content type='text'>
Introduce a new migration mode that allow to offload the copy to a device
DMA engine.  This changes the workflow of migration and not all
address_space migratepage callback can support this.

This is intended to be use by migrate_vma() which itself is use for thing
like HMM (see include/linux/hmm.h).

No additional per-filesystem migratepage testing is needed.  I disables
MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY in all problematic migratepage() callback and i
added comment in those to explain why (part of this patch).  The commit
message is unclear it should say that any callback that wish to support
this new mode need to be aware of the difference in the migration flow
from other mode.

Some of these callbacks do extra locking while copying (aio, zsmalloc,
balloon, ...) and for DMA to be effective you want to copy multiple
pages in one DMA operations.  But in the problematic case you can not
easily hold the extra lock accross multiple call to this callback.

Usual flow is:

For each page {
 1 - lock page
 2 - call migratepage() callback
 3 - (extra locking in some migratepage() callback)
 4 - migrate page state (freeze refcount, update page cache, buffer
     head, ...)
 5 - copy page
 6 - (unlock any extra lock of migratepage() callback)
 7 - return from migratepage() callback
 8 - unlock page
}

The new mode MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY:
 1 - lock multiple pages
For each page {
 2 - call migratepage() callback
 3 - abort in all problematic migratepage() callback
 4 - migrate page state (freeze refcount, update page cache, buffer
     head, ...)
} // finished all calls to migratepage() callback
 5 - DMA copy multiple pages
 6 - unlock all the pages

To support MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY in the problematic case we would need a
new callback migratepages() (for instance) that deals with multiple
pages in one transaction.

Because the problematic cases are not important for current usage I did
not wanted to complexify this patchset even more for no good reason.

Getting -EBUSY from zs_page_migrate will make migration slow (retry) or
fail (zs_page_putback will schedule_work free_work, but it cannot ensure
the success).

I noticed this issue because my Kernel patched
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/113) that will remove retry in
__alloc_contig_migrate_range.

This retry will handle the -EBUSY because it will re-isolate the page
and re-call migrate_pages.  Without it will make cma_alloc fail at once
with -EBUSY.

According to the review from Minchan Kim in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/113, I update the patch to skip
unnecessary loops but not return -EBUSY if zspage is not inuse.

Following is what I got with highalloc-performance in a vbox with 2 cpu
1G memory 512 zram as swap.  And the swappiness is set to 100.

He bisected the problem is [1].

After commit cf8e0fedf078 ("mm/zsmalloc: simplify zs_max_alloc_size
handling"), zram doesn't use double pointer for pool-&gt;size_class any
more in zs_create_pool so counter function zs_destroy_pool don't need to
free it, either.

Otherwise, it does kfree wrong address and then, kernel goes Oops.

He bisected the problem is [1].

After commit cf8e0fedf078 ("mm/zsmalloc: simplify zs_max_alloc_size
handling"), zram doesn't use double pointer for pool-&gt;size_class any
more in zs_create_pool so counter function zs_destroy_pool don't need to
free it, either.

Otherwise, it does kfree wrong address and then, kernel goes Oops.

Commit 40f9fb8cffc6 ("mm/zsmalloc: support allocating obj with size of
ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE") fixes a size calculation error that prevented
zsmalloc to allocate an object of the maximal size (ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE).
I think however the fix is unneededly complicated.

This patch replaces the dynamic calculation of zs_size_classes at init
time by a compile time calculation that uses the DIV_ROUND_UP() macro
already used in get_size_class_index().
