There are many places where the pattern kmap/memcpy/kunmap occurs.
This pattern was lifted to the core common functions
memcpy_[to|from]_page().
Use these new functions to reduce the code, eliminate direct uses of
kmap, and leverage the new core functions use of kmap_local_page().
Also, there is 1 place where a kmap/memcpy is followed by an
optional memset. Here we leave the kmap open coded to avoid remapping
the page but use kmap_local_page() directly.

In order to benefit from s390 zlib hardware compression support,
increase the btrfs zlib workspace buffer size from 1 to 4 pages (if s390
zlib hardware support is enabled on the machine).
This brings up to 60% better performance in hardware on s390 compared to
the PAGE_SIZE buffer and much more compared to the software zlib
processing in btrfs. In case of memory pressure, fall back to a single
page buffer during workspace allocation.
The data compressed with larger input buffers will still conform to zlib
standard and thus can be decompressed also on a systems that uses only
PAGE_SIZE buffer for btrfs zlib.

Currently, the only user of set_level() is zlib which sets an internal
workspace parameter. As level is now plumbed into get_workspace(), this
can be handled there rather than separately.
This repurposes set_level() to bound the level passed in so it can be
used when setting the mounts compression level and as well as verifying
the level before getting a workspace. The other benefit is this divides
the meaning of compress(0) and get_workspace(0). The former means we
want to use the default compression level of the compression type. The
latter means we can use any workspace available.

Zlib compression supports multiple levels, but doesn't require changing
in how a workspace itself is created and managed. Zstd introduces a
different memory requirement such that higher levels of compression
require more memory.
This requires changes in how the alloc()/get() methods work for zstd.
This pach plumbs compression level through the interface as a parameter
in preparation for zstd compression levels. This gives the compression
types opportunity to create/manage based on the compression level.

The compression workspace buffers are larger than a page so we use
vmalloc, unconditionally. This is not always necessary as there might be
contiguous memory available.
Let's use the kvmalloc helpers that will try kmalloc first and fallback
to vmalloc. For that they require GFP_KERNEL flags. As we now have the
alloc_workspace calls protected by memalloc_nofs in the critical
contexts, we can safely use GFP_KERNEL.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

`struct workspace' used for zlib compression contains two zlib
z_stream-s: `def_strm' used in zlib_compress_pages(), and `inf_strm'
used in zlib_decompress/zlib_decompress_biovec(). None of these
functions use `inf_strm' and `def_strm' simultaniously, meaning that
for every compress/decompress operation we need only one z_stream
(out of two available).
`inf_strm' and `def_strm' are different in size of ->workspace. For
inflate stream we vmalloc() zlib_inflate_workspacesize() bytes, for
deflate stream - zlib_deflate_workspacesize() bytes. On my system zlib
returns the following workspace sizes, correspondingly: 42312 and 268104
(+ guard pages).
Keep only one `z_stream' in `struct workspace' and use it for both
compression and decompression. Hence, instead of vmalloc() of two
z_stream->worskpace-s, allocate only one of size:
max(zlib_deflate_workspacesize(), zlib_inflate_workspacesize())

Instead of always creating a huge (268K) deflate_workspace with the
maximum compression parameters (windowBits=15, memLevel=8), allow the
caller to obtain a smaller workspace by specifying smaller parameter
values.
For example, when capturing oops and panic reports to a medium with
limited capacity, such as NVRAM, compression may be the only way to
capture the whole report. In this case, a small workspace (24K works
fine) is a win, whether you allocate the workspace when you need it (i.e.,
during an oops or panic) or at boot time.
I've verified that this patch works with all accepted values of windowBits
(positive and negative), memLevel, and compression level.

find_zlib_workspace returns an ERR_PTR value in an error case instead of NULL.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)
// <smpl>
@match exists@
expression x, E;
statement S1, S2;
@@
x = find_zlib_workspace(...)
... when != x = E
(
* if (x == NULL || ...) S1 else S2
|
* if (x == NULL && ...) S1 else S2
)
// </smpl>
