zpool: remove zpool_evict()

2015-06-26T00:00:37+00:00

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.

mm/zpool: add name argument to create zpool

2015-02-13T02:54:12+00:00

Currently the underlay of zpool: zsmalloc/zbud, do not know who creates them. There is not a method to let zsmalloc/zbud find which caller they belong to. Now we want to add statistics collection in zsmalloc. We need to name the debugfs dir for each pool created. The way suggested by Minchan Kim is to use a name passed by caller(such as zram) to create the zsmalloc pool. /sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/zram0 This patch adds an argument `name' to zs_create_pool() and other related functions.

mm/zbud: init user ops only when it is needed

2014-12-13T20:42:51+00:00

When zbud is initialized through the zpool wrapper, pool->ops which points to user-defined operations is always set regardless of whether it is specified from the upper layer. This causes zbud_reclaim_page() to iterate its loop for evicting pool pages out without any gain. This patch sets the user-defined ops only when it is needed, so that zbud_reclaim_page() can bail out the reclamation loop earlier if there is no user-defined operations specified.

zbud: avoid accessing last unused freelist

2014-10-10T02:26:03+00:00

For now, there are NCHUNKS of 64 freelists in zbud_pool, the last unbuddied[63] freelist linked with all zbud pages which have free chunks of 63. Calculating according to context of num_free_chunks(), our max chunk number of unbuddied zbud page is 62, so none of zbud pages will be added/removed in last freelist, but still we will try to find an unbuddied zbud page in the last unused freelist, it is unneeded. This patch redefines NCHUNKS to 63 as free chunk number in one zbud page, hence we can decrease size of zpool and avoid accessing the last unused freelist whenever failing to allocate zbud from freelist in zbud_alloc.

mm/zpool: use prefixed module loading

2014-08-29T23:28:16+00:00

To avoid potential format string expansion via module parameters, do not use the zpool type directly in request_module() without a format string. Additionally, to avoid arbitrary modules being loaded via zpool API (e.g. via the zswap_zpool_type module parameter) add a "zpool-" prefix to the requested module, as well as module aliases for the existing zpool types (zbud and zsmalloc).

mm/zbud: change zbud_alloc size type to size_t

2014-08-07T01:01:23+00:00

Change the type of the zbud_alloc() size param from unsigned int to size_t. Technically, this should not make any difference, as the zbud implementation already restricts the size to well within either type's limits; but as zsmalloc (and kmalloc) use size_t, and zpool will use size_t, this brings the size parameter type in line with zsmalloc/zpool.
