someday we will remove rw_page(). If so, we need something to detect
such super-fast storage on which synchronous IO operations like the
current rw_page are always a win.
Introduces BDI_CAP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO to indicate such devices. With it, we
could use various optimization techniques.

With fast swap storage, the platform wants to use swap more aggressively
and swap-in is crucial to application latency.
The rw_page() based synchronous devices like zram, pmem and btt are such
fast storage. When I profile swapin performance with zram lz4
decompress test, S/W overhead is more than 70%. Maybe, it would be
bigger in nvdimm.
This patchset reduces swap-in latency by skipping swapcache if the swap
device is a synchronous device like a rw_page() based device.
It enhances by 45% my swapin test (5G sequential swapin, no readahead)
from 2.41sec to 1.64sec.
This patch (of 4):
Commit 19b7ccf865 ("block: get rid of blk_integrity_revalidate()")
fixed a weird thing (i.e., reset BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES flag
unconditionally whenever revalidat_disk is called) so zram doesn't need
to reset the flag any more when revalidating the bdev. Instead, set the
flag just once when the zram device is created.
It shouldn't change any behavior.

This patch enables read IO from backing device. For the feature, it
implements two IO read functions to transfer data from backing storage.
One is asynchronous IO function and other is synchronous one.
A reason I need synchrnous IO is due to partial write which need to
complete read IO before the overwriting partial data.
We can make the partial IO's case asynchronous, too but at the moment, I
don't feel adding more complexity to support such rare use cases so want
to go with simple.

Patch series "writeback incompressible pages to storage", v1.
zRam is useful for memory saving with compressible pages but sometime,
workload can be changed and system has lots of incompressible pages
which is very harmful for zram.
This patch supports writeback feature of zram so admin can set up a
block device and with it, zram can save the memory via writing out the
incompressile pages once it found it's incompressible pages (1/4 comp
ratio) instead of keeping the page in memory.
[1-3] is just clean up and [4-8] is step by step feature enablement.
[4-8] is logically not bisectable(ie, logical unit separation)
although I tried to compiled out without breaking but I think it would
be better to review.
This patch (of 9):
__zram_bvec_write has some of duplicated logic for zram meta data
handling of same_page|compressed_page. This patch aims to clean it up
without behavior change.

This patch (of 6):
Johannes Thumshirn reported system goes the panic when using NVMe over
Fabrics loopback target with zram.
The reason is zram expects each bvec in bio contains a single page
but nvme can attach a huge bulk of pages attached to the bio's bvec
so that zram's index arithmetic could be wrong so that out-of-bound
access makes system panic.
[1] in mainline solved solved the problem by limiting max_sectors with
SECTORS_PER_PAGE but it makes zram slow because bio should split with
each pages so this patch makes zram aware of multiple pages in a bvec
so it could solve without any regression(ie, bio split).

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
- Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ
was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement
fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant
to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness.
From Paolo.
- Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler,
using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on
live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar.
- A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing
devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life
times, solving various problems with hot removal.
- A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a
'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block
device.
- A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef.
- A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly
legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a
queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for
more than a decade.
- Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user
windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to
register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar.
- blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable
framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for
blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is
marked experimental for now.
- Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves
efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size
IO.
- A few fixes for opal, from Scott.
- A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics.
From a variety of folks, mostly Sagi and James Smart.
- A series from Bart, improving our exposed info and capabilities from
the blk-mq debugfs support.
- A series from Christoph, cleaning up how handle WRITE_ZEROES.
- A series from Christoph, cleaning up the block layer handling of how
we track errors in a request. On top of being a nice cleanup, it also
shrinks the size of struct request a bit.
- Removal of mg_disk and hd (sorry Linus) by Christoph. The former was
never used by platforms, and the latter has outlived it's usefulness.
- Various little bug fixes and cleanups from a wide variety of folks.

The copy_page is optimized memcpy for page-alinged address. If it is
used with non-page aligned address, it can corrupt memory which means
system corruption. With zram, it can happen with
1. 64K architecture
2. partial IO
3. slub debug
Partial IO need to allocate a page and zram allocates it via kmalloc.
With slub debug, kmalloc(PAGE_SIZE) doesn't return page-size aligned
address. And finally, copy_page(mem, cmem) corrupts memory.
So, this patch changes it to memcpy.
Actuaully, we don't need to change zram_bvec_write part because zsmalloc
returns page-aligned address in case of PAGE_SIZE class but it's not
good to rely on the internal of zsmalloc.
Note:
When this patch is merged to stable, clear_page should be fixed, too.
Unfortunately, recent zram removes it by "same page merge" feature so
it's hard to backport this patch to -stable tree.
I will handle it when I receive the mail from stable tree maintainer to
merge this patch to backport.

The idea is that without doing more calculations we extend zero pages to
same element pages for zram. zero page is special case of same element
page with zero element.
1. the test is done under android 7.0
2. startup too many applications circularly
3. sample the zero pages, same pages (none-zero element)
and total pages in function page_zero_filled
the result is listed as below:
ZERO SAME TOTAL
36214 17842 598196
ZERO/TOTAL SAME/TOTAL (ZERO+SAME)/TOTAL ZERO/SAME
AVERAGE 0.060631909 0.024990816 0.085622726 2.663825038
STDEV 0.00674612 0.005887625 0.009707034 2.115881328

MIN 0.03959586 0.007332205 0.056055193 1.928985507
from the above data, the benefit is about 2.5% and up to 3% of total
swapout pages.
The defect of the patch is that when we recovery a page from non-zero
element the operations are low efficient for partial read.
This patch extends zero_page to same_page so if there is any user to
have monitored zero_pages, he will be surprised if the number is
increased but it's not harmful, I believe.

zram_reset_device() waits for ongoing writepage pages to be completed by
zram->refcount logic. However, it's pointless because before the reset,
we prevent further opening of zram by zram->claim and flush all of
pending IO by fsync_bdev so there should be no pending IO at the
zram_reset_device().
So let's remove that code which is even broken due to the lack of
wake_up elsewhere.

We had a deprecated_attr_warn() warning for 2 years and now the time has
come and we finally can do the cleanup.
The plan was as follows:
: per-stat sysfs attributes are considered to be deprecated.
: The basic strategy is:
: -- the existing RW nodes will be downgraded to WO nodes (in linux 4.11)
: -- deprecated RO sysfs nodes will eventually be removed (in linux 4.11)
:
: The list of deprecated attributes can be found here:
: Documentation/ABI/obsolete/sysfs-block-zram
:
: Basically, every attribute that has its own read accessible sysfs
: node (e.g. num_reads) *AND* is accessible via one of the stat files
: (zram<id>/stat or zram<id>/io_stat or zram<id>/mm_stat) is considered
: to be deprecated.
The patch also removes `obsolete/sysfs-block-zram', clean ups
`testing/sysfs-block-zram' and tweaks zram.txt files.

zram has used per-cpu stream feature from v4.7. It aims for increasing
cache hit ratio of scratch buffer for compressing. Downside of that
approach is that zram should ask memory space for compressed page in
per-cpu context which requires stricted gfp flag which could be failed.
If so, it retries to allocate memory space out of per-cpu context so it
could get memory this time and compress the data again, copies it to the
memory space.
In this scenario, zram assumes the data should never be changed but it is
not true without stable page support. So, If the data is changed under
us, zram can make buffer overrun so that zsmalloc free object chain is
broken so system goes crash like below

There is no way to get a string with all the crypto comp algorithms
supported by the crypto comp engine, so we need to maintain our own
backends list. At the same time we additionally need to use
crypto_has_comp() to make sure that the user has requested a compression
algorithm that is recognized by the crypto comp engine. Relying on
/proc/crypto is not an options here, because it does not show
not-yet-inserted compression modules.
Example:
modprobe zram
cat /proc/crypto | grep -i lz4
modprobe lz4
cat /proc/crypto | grep -i lz4
name : lz4
driver : lz4-generic
module : lz4
So the user can't tell exactly if the lz4 is really supported from
/proc/crypto output, unless someone or something has loaded it.
This patch also adds crypto_has_comp() to zcomp_available_show(). We
store all the compression algorithms names in zcomp's `backends' array,
regardless the CONFIG_CRYPTO_FOO configuration, but show only those that
are also supported by crypto engine. This helps user to know the exact
list of compression algorithms that can be used.
Example:
module lz4 is not loaded yet, but is supported by the crypto
engine. /proc/crypto has no information on this module, while
zram's `comp_algorithm' lists it:
cat /proc/crypto | grep -i lz4
cat /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
[lzo] lz4 deflate lz4hc 842
We still use the `backends' array to determine if the requested
compression backend is known to crypto api. This array, however, may not
contain some entries, therefore as the last step we call crypto_has_comp()
function which attempts to insmod the requested compression algorithm to
determine if crypto api supports it. The advantage of this method is that
now we permit the usage of out-of-tree crypto compression modules
(implementing S/W or H/W compression).
