Do not __GFP_ZERO allocated zcomp ->private pages. We keep allocated
streams around and use them for read/write requests, so we supply a
zeroed out ->private to compression algorithm as a scratch buffer only
once -- the first time we use that stream. For the rest of IO requests
served by this stream ->private usually contains some temporarily data
from the previous requests.

Each zcomp backend uses own gfp flag but it's pointless because the
context they could be called is driven by upper layer(ie, zcomp
frontend). As well, zcomp frondend could call them in different
context. One context(ie, zram init part) is it should be better to make
sure successful allocation other context(ie, further stream allocation
part for accelarating I/O speed) is just optional so let's pass gfp down
from driver (ie, zcomp frontend) like normal MM convention.

When we're using LZ4 multi compression streams for zram swap, we found
out page allocation failure message in system running test. That was
not only once, but a few(2 - 5 times per test). Also, some failure
cases were continually occurring to try allocation order 3.
In order to make parallel compression private data, we should call
kzalloc() with order 2/3 in runtime(lzo/lz4). But if there is no order
2/3 size memory to allocate in that time, page allocation fails. This
patch makes to use vmalloc() as fallback of kmalloc(), this prevents
page alloc failure warning.
After using this, we never found warning message in running test, also
It could reduce process startup latency about 60-120ms in each case.

We can end up allocating a new compression stream with GFP_KERNEL from
within the IO path, which may result is nested (recursive) IO
operations. That can introduce problems if the IO path in question is a
reclaimer, holding some locks that will deadlock nested IOs.
Allocate streams and working memory using GFP_NOIO flag, forbidding
recursive IO and FS operations.

ZRAM performs direct LZO compression algorithm calls, making it the one
and only option. While LZO is generally performs well, LZ4 algorithm
tends to have a faster decompression (see http://code.google.com/p/lz4/
for full report)
Name Ratio C.speed D.speed
MB/s MB/s
LZ4 (r101) 2.084 422 1820
LZO 2.06 2.106 414 600
Thus, users who have mostly read (decompress) usage scenarious or mixed
workflow (writes with relatively high read ops number) will benefit from
using LZ4 compression backend.
Introduce compressing backend abstraction zcomp in order to support
multiple compression algorithms with the following set of operations:
.create
.destroy
.compress
.decompress
Schematically zram write() usually contains the following steps:
0) preparation (decompression of partioal IO, etc.)
1) lock buffer_lock mutex (protects meta compress buffers)
2) compress (using meta compress buffers)
3) alloc and map zs_pool object
4) copy compressed data (from meta compress buffers) to object allocated by 3)
5) free previous pool page, assign a new one
6) unlock buffer_lock mutex
As we can see, compressing buffers must remain untouched from 1) to 4),
because, otherwise, concurrent write() can overwrite data. At the same
time, zram_meta must be aware of a) specific compression algorithm memory
requirements and b) necessary locking to protect compression buffers. To
remove requirement a) new struct zcomp_strm introduced, which contains a
compress/decompress `buffer' and compression algorithm `private' part.
While struct zcomp implements zcomp_strm stream handling and locking and
removes requirement b) from zram meta. zcomp ->create() and ->destroy(),
respectively, allocate and deallocate algorithm specific zcomp_strm
`private' part.
Every zcomp has zcomp stream and mutex to protect its compression stream.
Stream usage semantics remains the same -- only one write can hold stream
lock and use its buffers. zcomp_strm_find() turns caller into exclusive
user of a stream (holding stream mutex until zram release stream), and
zcomp_strm_release() makes zcomp stream available (unlock the stream
mutex). Hence no concurrent write (compression) operations possible at
the moment.
