commit 0d8359620d ("zram: support page writeback") introduced two
problems. It overwrites writeback_store's return value as kstrtol's
return value, which makes return value zero so user could see zero as
return value of write syscall even though it wrote data successfully.
It also breaks index value in the loop in that it doesn't increase the
index any longer. It means it can write only first starting block index
so user couldn't write all idle pages in the zram so lose memory saving
chance.
This patch fixes those issues.

writeback_store's return value is overwritten by submit_bio_wait's return
value. Thus, writeback_store will return zero since there was no IO
error. In the end, write syscall from userspace will see the zero as
return value, which could make the process stall to keep trying the write
until it will succeed.

There exists multiple path may do zram compaction concurrently.
1. auto-compaction triggered during memory reclaim
2. userspace utils write zram<id>/compaction node
So, multiple threads may call zs_shrinker_scan/zs_compact concurrently.
But pages_compacted is a per zsmalloc pool variable and modification
of the variable is not serialized(through under class->lock).
There are two issues here:
1. the pages_compacted may not equal to total number of pages
freed(due to concurrently add).
2. zs_shrinker_scan may not return the correct number of pages
freed(issued by current shrinker).
The fix is simple:
1. account the number of pages freed in zs_compact locally.
2. use actomic variable pages_compacted to accumulate total number.

From the beginning, the zram block device always enabled CRYPTO_LZO,
since lzo-rle is hardcoded as the fallback compression algorithm. As a
consequence, on systems where another compression algorithm is chosen
(e.g. CRYPTO_ZSTD), the lzo kernel module becomes unused, while still
having to be built/loaded.
This patch removes the hardcoded lzo-rle dependency and allows the user
to select the default compression algorithm for zram at build time. The
previous behaviour is kept, as the default algorithm is still lzo-rle.

If we fail to decompress in zram it's a pretty serious problem. We were
entrusted to be able to decompress the old data but we failed. Either
we've got some crazy bug in the compression code or we've got memory
corruption.
At the moment, when this happens the log looks like this:
ERR kernel: [ 1833.099861] zram: Decompression failed! err=-22, page=336112
ERR kernel: [ 1833.099881] zram: Decompression failed! err=-22, page=336112
ALERT kernel: [ 1833.099886] Read-error on swap-device (253:0:2688896)
It is true that we have an "ALERT" level log in there, but (at least to
me) it feels like even this isn't enough to impart the seriousness of this
error. Let's convert to a WARN_ON. Note that WARN_ON is automatically
"unlikely" so we can simply replace the old annotation with the new one.

The BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES is one of the few bits of information in the
backing_dev_info shared between the block drivers and the writeback code.
To help untangling the dependency replace it with a queue flag and a
superblock flag derived from it. This also helps with the case of e.g.
a file system requiring stable writes due to its own checksumming, but
not forcing it on other users of the block device like the swap code.
One downside is that we an't support the stable_pages_required bdi
attribute in sysfs anymore. It is replaced with a queue attribute which
also is writable for easier testing.

revalidate_disk is a relative awkward helper for driver use, as it first
calls an optional driver method and then updates the block device size,
while most callers either don't need the method call at all, or want to
keep state between the caller and the called method.
Add a revalidate_disk_size helper that just performs the update of the
block device size from the gendisk one, and switch all drivers that do
not implement ->revalidate_disk to use the new helper instead of
revalidate_disk()

The zcomp driver uses per-CPU compression. The per-CPU data pointer is
acquired with get_cpu_ptr() which implicitly disables preemption.
It allocates memory inside the preempt disabled region which conflicts
with the PREEMPT_RT semantics.
Replace the implicit preemption control with an explicit local lock.
This allows RT kernels to substitute it with a real per CPU lock, which
serializes the access but keeps the code section preemptible. On non RT
kernels this maps to preempt_disable() as before, i.e. no functional
change.

zcomp::stream is a per-CPU pointer, pointing to struct zcomp_strm
which contains two pointers. Having struct zcomp_strm allocated
directly as per-CPU memory would avoid one additional memory
allocation and a pointer dereference. This also simplifies the
addition of a local_lock to struct zcomp_strm.
Allocate zcomp::stream directly as per-CPU memory.

Current make_request based drivers use either blk_alloc_queue_node or
blk_alloc_queue to allocate a queue, and then set up the make_request_fn
function pointer and a few parameters using the blk_queue_make_request
helper. Simplify this by passing the make_request pointer to
blk_alloc_queue, and while at it merge the _node variant into the main
helper by always passing a node_id, and remove the superfluous gfp_mask
parameter. A lower-level __blk_alloc_queue is kept for the blk-mq case.

Currently when an error code -EIO or -ENOSPC in the for-loop of
writeback_store the error code is being overwritten by a ret = len
assignment at the end of the function and the error codes are being
lost. Fix this by assigning ret = len at the start of the function and
remove the assignment from the end, hence allowing ret to be preserved
when error codes are assigned to it.

The worst-case scenario on finding same element pages is that almost all
elements are same at the first glance but only last few elements are
different.
Since the same element tends to be grouped from the beginning of the
pages, if we check the first element with the last element before
looping through all elements, we might have some chances to quickly
detect non-same element pages.
1. Test is done under LG webOS TV (64-bit arch)
2. Dump the swap-out pages (~819200 pages)
3. Analyze the pages with simple test script which counts the iteration
number and measures the speed at off-line
Under 64-bit arch, the worst iteration count is PAGE_SIZE / 8 bytes =
512. The speed is based on the time to consume page_same_filled()
function only. The result, on average, is listed as below:
Num of Iter Speed(MB/s)
Looping-Forward (Orig) 38 99265
Looping-Backward 36 102725
Last-element-check (This Patch) 33 125072
The result shows that the average iteration count decreases by 13% and
the speed increases by 25% with this patch. This patch does not
increase the overall time complexity, though.
I also ran simpler version which uses backward loop. Just looping
backward also makes some improvement, but less than this patch.

When scheduling work item to read page we need to pass down the proper
bvec struct which points to the page to read into. Before this patch it
uses a randomly initialized bvec (only if PAGE_SIZE != 4096) which is
wrong.
Note that without this patch on arch/kernel where PAGE_SIZE != 4096
userspace could read random memory through a zram block device (thought
userspace probably would have no control on the address being read).

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 > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
echo $((200<<20)) > /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<<20)) > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram/0/writeback_limit_enable
while true :
echo $((200<<20)) > /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.

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<<MB_SHIFT>>4K_SHIFT)) > \
/sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit.
If admin want to allow further write again, he could do it like below
echo 0 > /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 > /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.

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 > /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" > /sys/block/zram0/writeback
or/and
echo "huge" > /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:
== &< ==
"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.
== &< ==
Below concerns from Minchan:
== &< ==
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" > /sys/block/zram/writeback" manually.

To support idle page writeback with upcoming patches, this patch
introduces a new ZRAM_IDLE flag.
Userspace can mark zram slots as "idle" via
"echo all > /sys/block/zramX/idle"
which marks every allocated zram slot as ZRAM_IDLE.
User could see it by /sys/kernel/debug/zram/zram0/block_state.
300 75.033841 ...i
301 63.806904 s..i
302 63.806919 ..hi
Once there is IO for the slot, the mark will be disappeared.
300 75.033841 ...
301 63.806904 s..i
302 63.806919 ..hi
Therefore, 300th block is idle zpage. With this feature,
user can how many zram has idle pages which are waste of memory.

Rename some variables and restructure some code for better readability in
writeback and zs_free_page.
