zram: pass gfp from zcomp frontend to backend
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.

zram: check comp algorithm availability earlier
Improvement idea by Marcin Jabrzyk. comp_algorithm_store() silently accepts any supplied algorithm name, because zram performs algorithm availability check later, during the device configuration phase in disksize_store() and emits the following error: "zram: Cannot initialise %s compressing backend" this error line is somewhat generic and, besides, can indicate a failed attempt to allocate compression backend's working buffers. add algorithm availability check to comp_algorithm_store(): echo lzz > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> Reported-by: Marcin Jabrzyk <m.jabrzyk@samsung.com> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |

zram: propagate error to user
When we initialized zcomp with single, we couldn't change max_comp_streams without zram reset but current interface doesn't show any error to user and even it changes max_comp_streams's value without any effect so it would make user very confusing. This patch prevents max_comp_streams's change when zcomp was initialized as single zcomp and emit the error to user(ex, echo).

zram: make compression algorithm selection possible
Add and document `comp_algorithm' device attribute.

zram: add set_max_streams knob
This patch allows to change max_comp_streams on initialised zcomp. Introduce zcomp set_max_streams() knob, zcomp_strm_multi_set_max_streams() and zcomp_strm_single_set_max_streams() callbacks to change streams limit for zcomp_strm_multi and zcomp_strm_single, accordingly. set_max_streams for single steam zcomp does nothing. If user has lowered the limit, then zcomp_strm_multi_set_max_streams() attempts to immediately free extra streams (as much as it can, depending on idle streams availability). Note, this patch does not allow to change stream 'policy' from single to multi stream (or vice versa) on already initialised compression backend.

zram: add multi stream functionality
Existing zram (zcomp) implementation has only one compression stream (buffer and algorithm private part), so in order to prevent data corruption only one write (compress operation) can use this compression stream, forcing all concurrent write operations to wait for stream lock to be released. This patch changes zcomp to keep a compression streams list of user-defined size (via sysfs device attr). Each write operation still exclusively holds compression stream, the difference is that we can have N write operations (depending on size of streams list) executing in parallel. See TEST section later in commit message for performance data. Introduce struct zcomp_strm_multi and a set of functions to manage zcomp_strm stream access. zcomp_strm_multi has a list of idle zcomp_strm structs, spinlock to protect idle list and wait queue, making it possible to perform parallel compressions. The following set of functions added: - zcomp_strm_multi_find()/zcomp_strm_multi_release() find and release a compression stream, implement required locking - zcomp_strm_multi_create()/zcomp_strm_multi_destroy() create and destroy zcomp_strm_multi zcomp ->strm_find() and ->strm_release() callbacks are set during initialisation to zcomp_strm_multi_find()/zcomp_strm_multi_release() correspondingly. Each time zcomp issues a zcomp_strm_multi_find() call, the following set of operations performed: - spin lock strm_lock - if idle list is not empty, remove zcomp_strm from idle list, spin unlock and return zcomp stream pointer to caller - if idle list is empty, current adds itself to wait queue. it will be awaken by zcomp_strm_multi_release() caller. zcomp_strm_multi_release(): - spin lock strm_lock - add zcomp stream to idle list - spin unlock, wake up sleeper Minchan Kim reported that spinlock-based locking scheme has demonstrated a severe perfomance regression for single compression stream case, comparing to mutex-based (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/18/16) base spinlock mutex ==Initial write ==Initial write ==Initial write records: 5 records: 5 records: 5 avg: 1642424.35 avg: 699610.40 avg: 1655583.71 std: 39890.95(2.43%) std: 232014.19(33.16%) std: 52293.96 max: 1690170.94 max: 1163473.45 max: 1697164.75 min: 1568669.52 min: 573429.88 min: 1553410.23 ==Rewrite ==Rewrite ==Rewrite records: 5 records: 5 records: 5 avg: 1611775.39 avg: 501406.64 avg: 1684419.11 std: 17144.58(1.06%) std: 15354.41(3.06%) std: 18367.42 max: 1641800.95 max: 531356.78 max: 1706445.84 min: 1593515.27 min: 488817.78 min: 1655335.73 When only one compression stream available, mutex with spin on owner tends to perform much better than frequent wait_event()/wake_up(). This is why single stream implemented as a special case with mutex locking. Introduce and document zram device attribute max_comp_streams. This attr shows and stores current zcomp's max number of zcomp streams (max_strm). Extend zcomp's zcomp_create() with `max_strm' parameter. `max_strm' limits the number of zcomp_strm structs in compression backend's idle list (max_comp_streams). max_comp_streams used during initialisation as follows: -- passing to zcomp_create() max_strm equals to 1 will initialise zcomp using single compression stream zcomp_strm_single (mutex-based locking). -- passing to zcomp_create() max_strm greater than 1 will initialise zcomp using multi compression stream zcomp_strm_multi (spinlock-based locking). default max_comp_streams value is 1, meaning that zram with single stream will be initialised. Later patch will introduce configuration knob to change max_comp_streams on already initialised and used zcomp.

zram: factor out single stream compression
This is preparation patch to add multi stream support to zcomp. Introduce struct zcomp_strm_single and a set of functions to manage zcomp_strm stream access. zcomp_strm_single implements single compession stream, same way as current zcomp implementation. This moves zcomp_strm stream control and locking from zcomp, so compressing backend zcomp is not aware of required locking. Single and multi streams require different locking schemes. Minchan Kim reported that spinlock-based locking scheme (which is used in multi stream implementation) has demonstrated a severe perfomance regression for single compression stream case, comparing to mutex-based. see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/18/16 The following set of functions added: - zcomp_strm_single_find()/zcomp_strm_single_release() find and release a compression stream, implement required locking - zcomp_strm_single_create()/zcomp_strm_single_destroy() create and destroy zcomp_strm_single New ->strm_find() and ->strm_release() callbacks added to zcomp, which are set to zcomp_strm_single_find() and zcomp_strm_single_release() during initialisation. Instead of direct locking and zcomp_strm access from zcomp_strm_find() and zcomp_strm_release(), zcomp now calls ->strm_find() and ->strm_release() correspondingly.

zram: introduce compressing backend abstraction
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. iozone -t 3 -R -r 16K -s 60M -I +Z test base patched -------------------------------------------------- Initial write 597992.91 591660.58 Rewrite 609674.34 616054.97 Read 2404771.75 2452909.12 Re-read 2459216.81 2470074.44 Reverse Read 1652769.66 1589128.66 Stride read 2202441.81 2202173.31 Random read 2236311.47 2276565.31 Mixed workload 1423760.41 1709760.06 Random write 579584.08 615933.86 Pwrite 597550.02 594933.70 Pread 1703672.53 1718126.72 Fwrite 1330497.06 1461054.00 Fread 3922851.00 3957242.62 Usage examples: comp = zcomp_create(NAME) /* NAME e.g. "lzo" */ which initialises compressing backend if requested algorithm is supported.
