  • As a zpool_driver, zsmalloc can allocate movable memory because it support
    migate pages. But zbud and z3fold cannot allocate movable memory.

    Add malloc_support_movable to zpool_driver. If a zpool_driver support
    allocate movable memory, set it to true. And add
    zpool_malloc_support_movable check malloc_support_movable to make sure if
    a zpool support allocate movable memory.

  • We waste sizeof(swp_entry_t) for zswap header when using zsmalloc as
    zpool driver because zsmalloc doesn't support eviction.

    Add zpool_evictable() to detect if zpool is potentially evictable, and
    use it in zswap to avoid waste memory for zswap header.

  • Make the return type of zpool_get_type const; the string belongs to the
    zpool driver and should not be modified. Remove the redundant type field
    in the struct zpool; it is private to zpool.c and isn't needed since
    ->driver->type can be used directly. Add comments indicating strings must
    be null-terminated.

  • This series makes creation of the zpool and compressor dynamic, so that
    they can be changed at runtime. This makes using/configuring zswap
    easier, as before this zswap had to be configured at boot time, using boot
    params.

    This uses a single list to track both the zpool and compressor together,
    although Seth had mentioned an alternative which is to track the zpools
    and compressors using separate lists. In the most common case, only a
    single zpool and single compressor, using one list is slightly simpler
    than using two lists, and for the uncommon case of multiple zpools and/or
    compressors, using one list is slightly less simple (and uses slightly
    more memory, probably) than using two lists.

    This patch (of 4):

    Add zpool_has_pool() function, indicating if the specified type of zpool
    is available (i.e. zsmalloc or zbud). This allows checking if a pool is
    available, without actually trying to allocate it, similar to
    crypto_has_alg().

    This is used by a following patch to zswap that enables the dynamic
    runtime creation of zswap zpools.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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).

  • 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.
