Change the return type of zs_pool_stat_create() to void, and remove the
logic to abort pool creation if the stat debugfs dir/file could not be
created.
The debugfs stat file is for debugging/information only, and doesn't
affect operation of zsmalloc; there is no reason to abort creating the
pool if the stat file can't be created. This was seen with zswap, which
used the same name for all pool creations, which caused zsmalloc to fail
to create a second pool for zswap if CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT was enabled.

Pass GFP flags to zs_malloc() instead of using a fixed mask supplied to
zs_create_pool(), so we can be more flexible, but, more importantly, we
need this to switch zram to per-cpu compression streams -- zram will try
to allocate handle with preemption disabled in a fast path and switch to
a slow path (using different gfp mask) if the fast one has failed.
Apart from that, this also align zs_malloc() interface with zspool/zbud.

them as alternatives.
Normal rule is as follows:
1. avoid BUG_ON if possible. Instead, use VM_BUG_ON or VM_BUG_ON_PAGE
2. use VM_BUG_ON_PAGE if we need to see struct page's fields
3. use those assertion in primitive functions so higher functions can
rely on the assertion in the primitive function.

zs_can_compact() has two race conditions in its core calculation:
unsigned long obj_wasted = zs_stat_get(class, OBJ_ALLOCATED) -
zs_stat_get(class, OBJ_USED);
1) classes are not locked, so the numbers of allocated and used
objects can change by the concurrent ops happening on other CPUs
2) shrinker invokes it from preemptible context
Depending on the circumstances, thus, OBJ_ALLOCATED can become
less than OBJ_USED, which can result in either very high or
negative `total_scan' value calculated later in do_shrink_slab().
do_shrink_slab() has some logic to prevent those cases:
vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-64
vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
vmscan: shrink_slab: zs_shrinker_scan+0x0/0x28 [zsmalloc] negative objects to delete nr=-62
However, due to the way `total_scan' is calculated, not every
shrinker->count_objects() overflow can be spotted and handled.
To demonstrate the latter, I added some debugging code to do_shrink_slab()
(x86_64) and the results were:
vmscan: OVERFLOW: shrinker->count_objects() == -1 [18446744073709551615]
vmscan: but total_scan > 0: 92679974445502
vmscan: resulting total_scan: 92679974445502
[..]
vmscan: OVERFLOW: shrinker->count_objects() == -1 [18446744073709551615]
vmscan: but total_scan > 0: 22634041808232578
vmscan: resulting total_scan: 22634041808232578
Even though shrinker->count_objects() has returned an overflowed value,
the resulting `total_scan' is positive, and, what is more worrisome, it
is insanely huge. This value is getting used later on in
shrinker->scan_objects() loop:
while (total_scan >= batch_size ||
total_scan >= freeable) {
unsigned long ret;
unsigned long nr_to_scan = min(batch_size, total_scan);
shrinkctl->nr_to_scan = nr_to_scan;
ret = shrinker->scan_objects(shrinker, shrinkctl);
if (ret == SHRINK_STOP)
break;
freed += ret;
count_vm_events(SLABS_SCANNED, nr_to_scan);
total_scan -= nr_to_scan;
cond_resched();
}
`total_scan >= batch_size' is true for a very-very long time and
'total_scan >= freeable' is also true for quite some time, because
`freeable < 0' and `total_scan' is large enough, for example,
22634041808232578. The only break condition, in the given scheme of
things, is shrinker->scan_objects() == SHRINK_STOP test, which is a
bit too weak to rely on, especially in heavy zsmalloc-usage scenarios.
To fix the issue, take a pool stat snapshot and use it instead of
racy zs_stat_get() calls.

Add a new column to pool stats, which will tell how many pages ideally
can be freed by class compaction, so it will be easier to analyze
zsmalloc fragmentation.
At the moment, we have only numbers of FULL and ALMOST_EMPTY classes,
but they don't tell us how badly the class is fragmented internally.
The new /sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/zramX/classes output look as follows:
class size almost_full almost_empty obj_allocated obj_used pages_used pages_per_zspage freeable

For example, from this particular output we can easily conclude that
class-896 is heavily fragmented -- it occupies 26 pages, 12 can be freed
by compaction.

record_obj() in migrate_zspage() does not preserve handle's
HANDLE_PIN_BIT, set by find_aloced_obj()->trypin_tag(), and implicitly
(accidentally) un-pins the handle, while migrate_zspage() still performs
an explicit unpin_tag() on the that handle. This additional explicit
unpin_tag() introduces a race condition with zs_free(), which can pin
that handle by this time, so the handle becomes un-pinned.
Schematically, it goes like this:
CPU0 CPU1
migrate_zspage
find_alloced_obj
trypin_tag
set HANDLE_PIN_BIT zs_free()
pin_tag()
obj_malloc() -- new object, no tag
record_obj() -- remove HANDLE_PIN_BIT set HANDLE_PIN_BIT
unpin_tag() -- remove zs_free's HANDLE_PIN_BIT
The race condition may result in a NULL pointer dereference:

Each `struct size_class' contains `struct zs_size_stat': an array of
NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE `unsigned long'. For zsmalloc built with no
CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT this results in a waste of `2 * sizeof(unsigned
long)' per-class.
The patch removes unneeded `struct zs_size_stat' members by redefining
NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE (max stat idx in array).
Since both NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE and zs_stat_type are compile time constants,
GCC can eliminate zs_stat_inc()/zs_stat_dec() calls that use zs_stat_type
larger than NR_ZS_STAT_TYPE: CLASS_ALMOST_EMPTY and CLASS_ALMOST_FULL at
the moment.

To summarize:
a) each class now uses less memory
b) we avoid a number of dec/inc stats (a minor optimization,
but still).
The gain will increase once we introduce additional stats.

But in obj_to_head():

return *(unsigned long *)page_private(page);
} else

It is used as a pointer.
The reason why there is no problem until now is huge-class page is born
with ZS_FULL so it can't be migrated. However, we need this patch for

in general case, by design. We have different sources that are able to

ongoing I/O operations, manually triggered compaction, or two of them
happening simultaneously.
We re-do this calculations during compaction on a per class basis
anyway.

We want to see more ZS_FULL pages and less ZS_ALMOST_{FULL, EMPTY}
pages. Put a page with higher ->inuse count first within its
->fullness_list, which will give us better chances to fill up this page
with new objects (find_get_zspage() return ->fullness_list head for new
object allocation), so some zspages will become ZS_ALMOST_FULL/ZS_FULL
quicker.
It performs a trivial and cheap ->inuse compare which does not slow down
zsmalloc and in the worst case keeps the list pages in no particular
order.
A more expensive solution could sort fullness_list by ->inuse count.

Perform automatic pool compaction by a shrinker when system is getting
tight on memory.
User-space has a very little knowledge regarding zsmalloc fragmentation
and basically has no mechanism to tell whether compaction will result in
any memory gain. Another issue is that user space is not always aware
of the fact that system is getting tight on memory. Which leads to very
uncomfortable scenarios when user space may start issuing compaction
'randomly' or from crontab (for example). Fragmentation is not always
necessarily bad, allocated and unused objects, after all, may be filled
with the data later, w/o the need of allocating a new zspage. On the
other hand, we obviously don't want to waste memory when the system
needs it.
Compaction now has a relatively quick pool scan so we are able to
estimate the number of pages that will be freed easily, which makes it
possible to call this function from a shrinker->count_objects()
callback. We also abort compaction as soon as we detect that we can't
free any pages any more, preventing wasteful objects migrations.

Compaction returns back to zram the number of migrated objects, which is
quite uninformative -- we have objects of different sizes so user space
cannot obtain any valuable data from that number. Change compaction to
operate in terms of pages and return back to compaction issuer the
number of pages that were freed during compaction. So from now on we
will export more meaningful value in zram<id>/mm_stat -- the number of
freed (compacted) pages.
This requires:
(a) a rename of `num_migrated' to 'pages_compacted'
(b) a internal API change -- return first_page's fullness_group from
putback_zspage(), so we know when putback_zspage() did
free_zspage(). It helps us to account compaction stats correctly.

`zs_compact_control' accounts the number of migrated objects but it has
a limited lifespan -- we lose it as soon as zs_compaction() returns back
to zram. It worked fine, because (a) zram had it's own counter of
migrated objects and (b) only zram could trigger compaction. However,
this does not work for automatic pool compaction (not issued by zram).
To account objects migrated during auto-compaction (issued by the
shrinker) we need to store this number in zs_pool.
Define a new `struct zs_pool_stats' structure to keep zs_pool's stats
there. It provides only `num_migrated', as of this writing, but it
surely can be extended.
A new zsmalloc zs_pool_stats() symbol exports zs_pool's stats back to
caller.
Use zs_pool_stats() in zram and remove `num_migrated' from zram_stats.

Even if we have a ALMOST_EMPTY zspage, we still don't have enough room to
migrate all of its objects and free this zspage; so compaction will not
make a lot of sense, it's better to just leave it as is.

Always account per-class `zs_size_stat' stats. This data will help us
make better decisions during compaction. We are especially interested
in OBJ_ALLOCATED and OBJ_USED, which can tell us if class compaction
will result in any memory gain.
For instance, we know the number of allocated objects in the class, the
number of objects being used (so we also know how many objects are not
used) and the number of objects per-page. So we can ensure if we have
enough unused objects to form at least one ZS_EMPTY zspage during
compaction.
We calculate this value on per-class basis so we can calculate a total
number of zspages that can be released. Which is exactly what a
shrinker wants to know.

This patchset tweaks compaction and makes it possible to trigger pool
compaction automatically when system is getting low on memory.
zsmalloc in some cases can suffer from a notable fragmentation and
compaction can release some considerable amount of memory. The problem
here is that currently we fully rely on user space to perform compaction
when needed. However, performing zsmalloc compaction is not always an
obvious thing to do. For example, suppose we have a `idle' fragmented
(compaction was never performed) zram device and system is getting low
on memory due to some 3rd party user processes (gcc LTO, or firefox,
etc.). It's quite unlikely that user space will issue zpool compaction
in this case. Besides, user space cannot tell for sure how badly pool
is fragmented; however, this info is known to zsmalloc and, hence, to a
shrinker.
This patch (of 7):
__zs_compact() does not use `nr_to_migrate', drop it.

Remove zpool_evict() helper function. As zbud is currently the only
zpool implementation that supports eviction, add zpool and zpool_ops
references to struct zbud_pool and directly call zpool_ops->evict(zpool,
handle) on eviction.
Currently zpool provides the zpool_evict helper which locks the zpool
list lock and searches through all pools to find the specific one
matching the caller, and call the corresponding zpool_ops->evict
function. However, this is unnecessary, as the zbud pool can simply
keep a reference to the zpool that created it, as well as the zpool_ops,
and directly call the zpool_ops->evict function, when it needs to evict
a page. This avoids a spinlock and list search in zpool for each
eviction.

There is no point in overriding the size class below. It causes fatal
corruption on the next chunk on the 3264-bytes size class, which is the
last size class that is not huge.
For example, if the requested size was exactly 3264 bytes, current
zsmalloc allocates and returns a chunk from the size class of 3264 bytes,
not 4096. User access to this chunk may overwrite head of the next
adjacent chunk.

We store handle on header of each allocated object so it increases the
size of each object by sizeof(unsigned long).
If zram stores 4096 bytes to zsmalloc(ie, bad compression), zsmalloc needs
4104B-class to add handle.
However, 4104B-class has 1-pages_per_zspage so wasted size by internal
fragment is 8192 - 4104, which is terrible.
So this patch records the handle in page->private on such huge object(ie,
pages_per_zspage == 1 && maxobj_per_zspage == 1) instead of header of each
object so we could use 4096B-class, not 4104B-class.

Curretly, zsmalloc regards a zspage as ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY if the zspage has
under 1/4 used objects(ie, fullness_threshold_frac). It could make result
in loose packing since zsmalloc migrates only ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY zspage out.
This patch changes the rule so that zsmalloc makes zspage which has above
3/4 used object ZS_ALMOST_FULL so it could make tight packing.

This patch provides core functions for migration of zsmalloc. Migraion
policy is simple as follows.
for each size class {
while {
src_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY
if (!src_page)
break;
dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_FULL
if (!dst_page)
dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY
if (!dst_page)
break;
migrate(from src_page, to dst_page);
}
}
For migration, we need to identify which objects in zspage are allocated
to migrate them out. We could know it by iterating of freed objects in a
zspage because first_page of zspage keeps free objects singly-linked list
but it's not efficient. Instead, this patch adds a tag(ie,
OBJ_ALLOCATED_TAG) in header of each object(ie, handle) so we could check
whether the object is allocated easily.
This patch adds another status bit in handle to synchronize between user
access through zs_map_object and migration. During migration, we cannot
move objects user are using due to data coherency between old object and
new object.

Recently, we started to use zram heavily and some of issues
popped.
1) external fragmentation
I got a report from Juneho Choi that fork failed although there are plenty
of free pages in the system. His investigation revealed zram is one of
the culprit to make heavy fragmentation so there was no more contiguous
16K page for pgd to fork in the ARM.
2) non-movable pages
Other problem of zram now is that inherently, user want to use zram as
swap in small memory system so they use zRAM with CMA to use memory
efficiently. However, unfortunately, it doesn't work well because zRAM
cannot use CMA's movable pages unless it doesn't support compaction. I
got several reports about that OOM happened with zram although there are
lots of swap space and free space in CMA area.
3) internal fragmentation
zRAM has started support memory limitation feature to limit memory usage
and I sent a patchset(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/21/148) for VM to be
harmonized with zram-swap to stop anonymous page reclaim if zram consumed
memory up to the limit although there are free space on the swap. One
problem for that direction is zram has no way to know any hole in memory
space zsmalloc allocated by internal fragmentation so zram would regard
swap is full although there are free space in zsmalloc. For solving the
issue, zram want to trigger compaction of zsmalloc before it decides full
or not.
This patchset is first step to support above issues. For that, it adds
indirect layer between handle and object location and supports manual
compaction to solve 3th problem first of all.
After this patchset got merged, next step is to make VM aware of zsmalloc
compaction so that generic compaction will move zsmalloced-pages
automatically in runtime.
In my imaginary experiment(ie, high compress ratio data with heavy swap
in/out on 8G zram-swap), data is as follows,
Before =
zram allocated object : 60212066 bytes
zram total used: 140103680 bytes
ratio: 42.98 percent
MemFree: 840192 kB
Compaction
After =
frag ratio after compaction
zram allocated object : 60212066 bytes
zram total used: 76185600 bytes
ratio: 79.03 percent
MemFree: 901932 kB
Juneho reported below in his real platform with small aging.
So, I think the benefit would be bigger in real aging system
for a long time.
- frag_ratio increased 3% (ie, higher is better)
- memfree increased about 6MB
- In buddy info, Normal 2^3: 4, 2^2: 1: 2^1 increased, Highmem: 2^1 21 increased

This patchset adds more logics(about 480 lines) in zsmalloc but when I
tested heavy swapin/out program, the regression for swapin/out speed is
marginal because most of overheads were caused by compress/decompress and
other MM reclaim stuff.
This patch (of 7):
Currently, handle of zsmalloc encodes object's location directly so it
makes support of migration hard.
This patch decouples handle and object via adding indirect layer. For
that, it allocates handle dynamically and returns it to user. The handle
is the address allocated by slab allocation so it's unique and we could
keep object's location in the memory space allocated for handle.
With it, we can change object's position without changing handle itself.
