2015-06-26zpool: remove zpool_evict()Dan Streetman1-28/+1
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.

2015-06-26zpool: change pr_info to pr_debugDan Streetman1-3/+3
Change the pr_info() calls to pr_debug(). There's no need for the extra verbosity in the log. Also change the msg formats to be consistent.

2015-02-13mm/zpool: add name argument to create zpoolGanesh Mahendran1-2/+4
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.

2014-08-30mm/zpool: use prefixed module loadingKees Cook1-1/+1
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).

2014-08-07mm/zpool: implement common zpool api to zbud/zsmallocDan Streetman1-0/+364
Add zpool api. zpool provides an interface for memory storage, typically of compressed memory. Users can select what backend to use; currently the only implementations are zbud, a low density implementation with up to two compressed pages per storage page, and zsmalloc, a higher density implementation with multiple compressed pages per storage page.
