mm/zswap: move to use crypto_acomp API for hardware acceleration

2020-12-15T20:13:46+00:00

Right now, all new ZIP drivers are adapted to crypto_acomp APIs rather
than legacy crypto_comp APIs.  Tradiontal ZIP drivers like lz4,lzo etc
have been also wrapped into acomp via scomp backend.  But zswap.c is still
using the old APIs.  That means zswap won't be able to work on any new ZIP
drivers in kernel.

This patch moves to use cryto_acomp APIs to fix the disconnected bridge
between new ZIP drivers and zswap.  It is probably the first real user to
use acomp but perhaps not a good example to demonstrate how multiple acomp
requests can be executed in parallel in one acomp instance.  frontswap is
doing page load and store page by page synchronously.  swap_writepage()
depends on the completion of frontswap_store() to decide if it should call
__swap_writepage() to swap to disk.

However this patch creates multiple acomp instances, so multiple threads
running on multiple different cpus can actually do (de)compression
parallelly, leveraging the power of multiple ZIP hardware queues.  This is
also consistent with frontswap's page management model.

The old zswap code uses atomic context and avoids the race conditions
while shared resources like zswap_dstmem are accessed.  Here since acomp
can sleep, per-cpu mutex is used to replace preemption-disable.

While it is possible to make mm/page_io.c and mm/frontswap.c support async
(de)compression in some way, the entire design requires careful thinking
and performance evaluation.  For the first step, the base with fixed
connection between ZIP drivers and zswap should be built.

mm/zswap: fix passing zero to 'PTR_ERR' warning

2020-12-15T20:13:46+00:00

Fix smatch warning:

  mm/zswap.c:425 zswap_cpu_comp_prepare() warn: passing zero to 'PTR_ERR'

crypto_alloc_comp() never return NULL, use IS_ERR instead of
IS_ERR_OR_NULL to fix this.

mm/zswap: allow setting default status, compressor and allocator in Kconfig

2020-04-07T17:43:41+00:00

The compressed cache for swap pages (zswap) currently needs from 1 to 3
extra kernel command line parameters in order to make it work: it has to
be enabled by adding a "zswap.enabled=1" command line parameter and if one
wants a different compressor or pool allocator than the default lzo / zbud
combination then these choices also need to be specified on the kernel
command line in additional parameters.

Using a different compressor and allocator for zswap is actually pretty
common as guides often recommend using the lz4 / z3fold pair instead of
the default one.  In such case it is also necessary to remember to enable
the appropriate compression algorithm and pool allocator in the kernel
config manually.

Let's avoid the need for adding these kernel command line parameters and
automatically pull in the dependencies for the selected compressor
algorithm and pool allocator by adding an appropriate default switches to
Kconfig.

The default values for these options match what the code was using
previously as its defaults.

zswap: potential NULL dereference on error in init_zswap()

2020-01-31T18:30:39+00:00

The "pool" pointer can be NULL at the end of the init_zswap().  (We
would allocate a new pool later in that situation)

So in the error handling then we need to make sure pool is a valid
pointer before calling "zswap_pool_destroy(pool);" because that function
dereferences the argument.

mm/zswap.c: add allocation hysteresis if pool limit is hit

2020-01-31T18:30:39+00:00

zswap will always try to shrink pool when zswap is full.  If there is a
high pressure on zswap it will result in flipping pages in and out zswap
pool without any real benefit, and the overall system performance will
drop.  The previous discussion on this subject [1] ended up with a
suggestion to implement a sort of hysteresis to refuse taking pages into
zswap pool until it has sufficient space if the limit has been hit.
This is my take on this.

Hysteresis is controlled with a sysfs-configurable parameter (namely,
/sys/kernel/debug/zswap/accept_threhsold_percent).  It specifies the
threshold at which zswap would start accepting pages again after it
became full.  Setting this parameter to 100 disables the hysteresis and
sets the zswap behavior to pre-hysteresis state.

zswap: do not map same object twice

2019-09-24T22:54:12+00:00

zswap_writeback_entry() maps a handle to read swpentry first, and
then in the most common case it would map the same handle again.
This is ok when zbud is the backend since its mapping callback is
plain and simple, but it slows things down for z3fold.

Since there's hardly a point in unmapping a handle _that_ fast as
zswap_writeback_entry() does when it reads swpentry, the
suggestion is to keep the handle mapped till the end.

zswap: use movable memory if zpool support allocate movable memory

2019-09-24T22:54:12+00:00

This is the third version that was updated according to the comments from
Sergey Senozhatsky https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/29/73 and Shakeel Butt
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/4/973

zswap compresses swap pages into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory
pool.  The memory pool should be zbud, z3fold or zsmalloc.  All of them
will allocate unmovable pages.  It will increase the number of unmovable
page blocks that will bad for anti-fragment.

zsmalloc support page migration if request movable page:
        handle = zs_malloc(zram->mem_pool, comp_len,
                GFP_NOIO | __GFP_HIGHMEM |
                __GFP_MOVABLE);

And commit "zpool: Add malloc_support_movable to zpool_driver" add
zpool_malloc_support_movable check malloc_support_movable to make sure if
a zpool support allocate movable memory.

This commit let zswap allocate block with gfp
__GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_MOVABLE if zpool support allocate movable memory.

Following part is test log in a pc that has 8G memory and 2G swap.
