Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system efficiently, e.g. by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately. Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced. However, this method has two serious shortcomings: - it does not count unmapped file pages - it affects the reclaimer logic To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags, Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap. A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page, and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables (it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2) system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g. by reading /proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount of pages that are not used by the workload. The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory reclaimer. A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file. If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was cleared. Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.

In the scope of the idle memory tracking feature, which is introduced by the following patch, we need to clear the referenced/accessed bit not only in primary, but also in secondary ptes. The latter is required in order to estimate wss of KVM VMs. At the same time we want to avoid flushing tlb, because it is quite expensive and it won't really affect the final result. Currently, there is no function for clearing pte young bit that would meet our requirements, so this patch introduces one. To achieve that we have to add a new mmu-notifier callback, clear_young, since there is no method for testing-and-clearing a secondary pte w/o flushing tlb. The new method is not mandatory and currently only implemented by KVM.

Hwpoison allows to filter pages by memory cgroup ino. Currently, it calls try_get_mem_cgroup_from_page to obtain the cgroup from a page and then its ino using cgroup_ino, but now we have a helper method for that, page_cgroup_ino, so use it instead. This patch also loosens the hwpoison memcg filter dependency rules - it makes it depend on CONFIG_MEMCG instead of CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP, because hwpoison memcg filter does not require anything (nor it used to) from CONFIG_MEMCG_SWAP side.

This patchset introduces a new user API for tracking user memory pages that have not been used for a given period of time. The purpose of this is to provide the userspace with the means of tracking a workload's working set, i.e. the set of pages that are actively used by the workload. Knowing the working set size can be useful for partitioning the system more efficiently, e.g. by tuning memory cgroup limits appropriately, or for job placement within a compute cluster. ==== USE CASES ==== The unified cgroup hierarchy has memory.low and memory.high knobs, which are defined as the low and high boundaries for the workload working set size. However, the working set size of a workload may be unknown or change in time. With this patch set, one can periodically estimate the amount of memory unused by each cgroup and tune their memory.low and memory.high parameters accordingly, therefore optimizing the overall memory utilization. Another use case is balancing workloads within a compute cluster. Knowing how much memory is not really used by a workload unit may help take a more optimal decision when considering migrating the unit to another node within the cluster. Also, as noted by Minchan, this would be useful for per-process reclaim (https://lwn.net/Articles/545668/). With idle tracking, we could reclaim idle pages only by smart user memory manager. ==== USER API ==== The user API consists of two new files: * /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap. This file implements a bitmap where each bit corresponds to a page, indexed by PFN. When the bit is set, the corresponding page is idle. A page is considered idle if it has not been accessed since it was marked idle. To mark a page idle one should set the bit corresponding to the page by writing to the file. A value written to the file is OR-ed with the current bitmap value. Only user memory pages can be marked idle, for other page types input is silently ignored. Writing to this file beyond max PFN results in the ENXIO error. Only available when CONFIG_IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING is set. This file can be used to estimate the amount of pages that are not used by a particular workload as follows: 1. mark all pages of interest idle by setting corresponding bits in the /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap 2. wait until the workload accesses its working set 3. read /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap and count the number of bits set * /proc/kpagecgroup. This file contains a 64-bit inode number of the memory cgroup each page is charged to, indexed by PFN. Only available when CONFIG_MEMCG is set. This file can be used to find all pages (including unmapped file pages) accounted to a particular cgroup. Using /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap, one can then estimate the cgroup working set size. For an example of using these files for estimating the amount of unused memory pages per each memory cgroup, please see the script attached below. ==== REASONING ==== The reason to introduce the new user API instead of using /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps} is that the latter has two serious drawbacks: - it does not count unmapped file pages - it affects the reclaimer logic The new API attempts to overcome them both. For more details on how it is achieved, please see the comment to patch 6. ==== PATCHSET STRUCTURE ==== The patch set is organized as follows: - patch 1 adds page_cgroup_ino() helper for the sake of /proc/kpagecgroup and patches 2-3 do related cleanup - patch 4 adds /proc/kpagecgroup, which reports cgroup ino each page is charged to - patch 5 introduces a new mmu notifier callback, clear_young, which is a lightweight version of clear_flush_young; it is used in patch 6 - patch 6 implements the idle page tracking feature, including the userspace API, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap - patch 7 exports idle flag via /proc/kpageflags ==== SIMILAR WORKS ==== Originally, the patch for tracking idle memory was proposed back in 2011 by Michel Lespinasse (see http://lwn.net/Articles/459269/). The main difference between Michel's patch and this one is that Michel implemented a kernel space daemon for estimating idle memory size per cgroup while this patch only provides the userspace with the minimal API for doing the job, leaving the rest up to the userspace. However, they both share the same idea of Idle/Young page flags to avoid affecting the reclaimer logic. ==== PERFORMANCE EVALUATION ==== SPECjvm2008 (https://www.spec.org/jvm2008/) was used to evaluate the performance impact introduced by this patch set. Three runs were carried out: - base: kernel without the patch - patched: patched kernel, the feature is not used - patched-active: patched kernel, 1 minute-period daemon is used for tracking idle memory For tracking idle memory, idlememstat utility was used: https://github.com/locker/idlememstat testcase base patched patched-active compiler 537.40 ( 0.00)% 532.26 (-0.96)% 538.31 ( 0.17)% compress 305.47 ( 0.00)% 301.08 (-1.44)% 300.71 (-1.56)% crypto 284.32 ( 0.00)% 282.21 (-0.74)% 284.87 ( 0.19)% derby 411.05 ( 0.00)% 413.44 ( 0.58)% 412.07 ( 0.25)% mpegaudio 189.96 ( 0.00)% 190.87 ( 0.48)% 189.42 (-0.28)% scimark.large 46.85 ( 0.00)% 46.41 (-0.94)% 47.83 ( 2.09)% scimark.small 412.91 ( 0.00)% 415.41 ( 0.61)% 421.17 ( 2.00)% serial 204.23 ( 0.00)% 213.46 ( 4.52)% 203.17 (-0.52)% startup 36.76 ( 0.00)% 35.49 (-3.45)% 35.64 (-3.05)% sunflow 115.34 ( 0.00)% 115.08 (-0.23)% 117.37 ( 1.76)% xml 620.55 ( 0.00)% 619.95 (-0.10)% 620.39 (-0.03)% composite 211.50 ( 0.00)% 211.15 (-0.17)% 211.67 ( 0.08)% time idlememstat: 17.20user 65.16system 2:15:23elapsed 1%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 8476maxresident)k 448inputs+40outputs (1major+36052minor)pagefaults 0swaps ==== SCRIPT FOR COUNTING IDLE PAGES PER CGROUP ==== #! /usr/bin/python # import os import stat import errno import struct CGROUP_MOUNT = "/sys/fs/cgroup/memory" BUFSIZE = 8 * 1024 # must be multiple of 8 def get_hugepage_size(): with open("/proc/meminfo", "r") as f: for s in f: k, v = s.split(":") if k == "Hugepagesize": return int(v.split()[0]) * 1024 PAGE_SIZE = os.sysconf("SC_PAGE_SIZE") HUGEPAGE_SIZE = get_hugepage_size() def set_idle(): f = open("/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap", "wb", BUFSIZE) while True: try: f.write(struct.pack("Q", pow(2, 64) - 1)) except IOError as err: if err.errno == errno.ENXIO: break raise f.close() def count_idle(): f_flags = open("/proc/kpageflags", "rb", BUFSIZE) f_cgroup = open("/proc/kpagecgroup", "rb", BUFSIZE) with open("/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap", "rb", BUFSIZE) as f: while f.read(BUFSIZE): pass # update idle flag idlememsz = {} while True: s1, s2 = f_flags.read(8), f_cgroup.read(8) if not s1 or not s2: break flags, = struct.unpack('Q', s1) cgino, = struct.unpack('Q', s2) unevictable = (flags >> 18) & 1 huge = (flags >> 22) & 1 idle = (flags >> 25) & 1 if idle and not unevictable: idlememsz[cgino] = idlememsz.get(cgino, 0) + \ (HUGEPAGE_SIZE if huge else PAGE_SIZE) f_flags.close() f_cgroup.close() return idlememsz if __name__ == "__main__": print "Setting the idle flag for each page..." set_idle() raw_input("Wait until the workload accesses its working set, " "then press Enter") print "Counting idle pages..." idlememsz = count_idle() for dir, subdirs, files in os.walk(CGROUP_MOUNT): ino = os.stat(dir)[stat.ST_INO] print dir + ": " + str(idlememsz.get(ino, 0) / 1024) + " kB" ==== END SCRIPT ==== This patch (of 8): Add page_cgroup_ino() helper to memcg.

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.

Pull inifiniband/rdma updates from Doug Ledford: "This is a fairly sizeable set of changes. I've put them through a decent amount of testing prior to sending the pull request due to that. There are still a few fixups that I know are coming, but I wanted to go ahead and get the big, sizable chunk into your hands sooner rather than waiting for those last few fixups. Of note is the fact that this creates what is intended to be a temporary area in the drivers/staging tree specifically for some cleanups and additions that are coming for the RDMA stack. We deprecated two drivers (ipath and amso1100) and are waiting to hear back if we can deprecate another one (ehca). We also put Intel's new hfi1 driver into this area because it needs to be refactored and a transfer library created out of the factored out code, and then it and the qib driver and the soft-roce driver should all be modified to use that library. I expect drivers/staging/rdma to be around for three or four kernel releases and then to go away as all of the work is completed and final deletions of deprecated drivers are done. Summary of changes for 4.3: - Create drivers/staging/rdma - Move amso1100 driver to staging/rdma and schedule for deletion - Move ipath driver to staging/rdma and schedule for deletion - Add hfi1 driver to staging/rdma and set TODO for move to regular tree - Initial support for namespaces to be used on RDMA devices - Add RoCE GID table handling to the RDMA core caching code - Infrastructure to support handling of devices with differing read and write scatter gather capabilities - Various iSER updates - Kill off unsafe usage of global mr registrations - Update SRP driver - Misc mlx4 driver updates - Support for the mr_alloc verb - Support for a netlink interface between kernel and user space cache daemon to speed path record queries and route resolution - Ininitial support for safe hot removal of verbs devices" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dledford/rdma: (136 commits) IB/ipoib: Suppress warning for send only join failures IB/ipoib: Clean up send-only multicast joins IB/srp: Fix possible protection fault IB/core: Move SM class defines from ib_mad.h to ib_smi.h IB/core: Remove unnecessary defines from ib_mad.h IB/hfi1: Add PSM2 user space header to header_install IB/hfi1: Add CSRs for CONFIG_SDMA_VERBOSITY mlx5: Fix incorrect wc pkey_index assignment for GSI messages IB/mlx5: avoid destroying a NULL mr in reg_user_mr error flow IB/uverbs: reject invalid or unknown opcodes IB/cxgb4: Fix if statement in pick_local_ip6adddrs IB/sa: Fix rdma netlink message flags IB/ucma: HW Device hot-removal support IB/mlx4_ib: Disassociate support IB/uverbs: Enable device removal when there are active user space applications IB/uverbs: Explicitly pass ib_dev to uverbs commands IB/uverbs: Fix race between ib_uverbs_open and remove_one IB/uverbs: Fix reference counting usage of event files IB/core: Make ib_dealloc_pd return void IB/srp: Create an insecure all physical rkey only if needed ...

It is also a preparation step to make use of default domains from the IOMMU core in the Intel VT-d driver. - Fixes for a couple of DMA-API misuses in ARM IOMMU drivers, namely in the ARM and Tegra SMMU drivers. - Fix for a potential buffer overflow in the OMAP iommu driver's debug code - A couple of smaller fixes and cleanups in various drivers - One small new feature: Report domain-id usage in the Intel VT-d driver to easier detect bugs where these are leaked" * tag 'iommu-updates-v4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/joro/iommu: (83 commits) iommu/vt-d: Really use upper context table when necessary x86/vt-d: Fix documentation of DRHD iommu/fsl: Really fix init section(s) content iommu/io-pgtable-arm: Unmap and free table when overwriting with block iommu/io-pgtable-arm: Move init-fn declarations to io-pgtable.h iommu/msm: Use BUG_ON instead of if () BUG() iommu/vt-d: Access iomem correctly iommu/vt-d: Make two functions static iommu/vt-d: Use BUG_ON instead of if () BUG() iommu/vt-d: Return false instead of 0 in irq_remapping_cap() iommu/amd: Use BUG_ON instead of if () BUG() iommu/amd: Make a symbol static iommu/amd: Simplify allocation in irq_remapping_alloc() iommu/tegra-smmu: Parameterize number of TLB lines iommu/tegra-smmu: Factor out tegra_smmu_set_pde() iommu/tegra-smmu: Extract tegra_smmu_pte_get_use() iommu/tegra-smmu: Use __GFP_ZERO to allocate zeroed pages iommu/tegra-smmu: Remove PageReserved manipulation iommu/tegra-smmu: Convert to use DMA API iommu/tegra-smmu: smmu_flush_ptc() wants device addresses ...

Pull regmap updates from Mark Brown: "This has been a busy release for regmap. By far the biggest set of changes here are those from Markus Pargmann which implement support for block transfers in smbus devices. This required quite a bit of refactoring but leaves us better able to handle odd restrictions that controllers may have and with better performance on smbus. Other new features include: - Fix interactions with lockdep for nested regmaps (eg, when a device using regmap is connected to a bus where the bus controller has a separate regmap). Lockdep's default class identification is too crude to work without help. - Support for must write bitfield operations, useful for operations which require writing a bit to trigger them from Kuniori Morimoto. - Support for delaying during register patch application from Nariman Poushin. - Support for overriding cache state via the debugfs implementation from Richard Fitzgerald" * tag 'regmap-v4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/broonie/regmap: (25 commits) regmap: fix a NULL pointer dereference in __regmap_init regmap: Support bulk reads for devices without raw formatting regmap-i2c: Add smbus i2c block support regmap: Add raw_write/read checks for max_raw_write/read sizes regmap: regmap max_raw_read/write getter functions regmap: Introduce max_raw_read/write for regmap_bulk_read/write regmap: Add missing comments about struct regmap_bus regmap: No multi_write support if bus->write does not exist regmap: Split use_single_rw internally into use_single_read/write regmap: Fix regmap_bulk_write for bus writes regmap: regmap_raw_read return error on !bus->read regulator: core: Print at debug level on debugfs creation failure regmap: Fix regmap_can_raw_write check regmap: fix typos in regmap.c regmap: Fix integertypes for register address and value regmap: Move documentation to regmap.h regmap: Use different lockdep class for each regmap init call thermal: sti: Add parentheses around bridge->ops->regmap_init call mfd: vexpress: Add parentheses around bridge->ops->regmap_init call regmap: debugfs: Fix misuse of IS_ENABLED ...

Make zram syslog error reporting more consistent. We have random error levels in some places. For example, critical errors like "Error allocating memory for compressed page" and "Unable to allocate temp memory" are reported as KERN_INFO messages. a) Reassign error levels Error messages that directly affect zram functionality -- pr_err(): Error allocating zram address table Error creating memory pool Decompression failed! err=%d, page=%u Unable to allocate temp memory Compression failed! err=%d Error allocating memory for compressed page: %u, size=%zu Cannot initialise %s compressing backend Error allocating disk queue for device %d Error allocating disk structure for device %d Error creating sysfs group for device %d Unable to register zram-control class Unable to get major number Messages that do not affect functionality, but user must be warned (because sysfs attrs will be removed in this particular case) -- pr_warn(): %d (%s) Attribute %s (and others) will be removed. %s Messages that do not affect functionality and mostly are informative -- pr_info(): Cannot change max compression streams Can't change algorithm for initialized device Cannot change disksize for initialized device Added device: %s Removed device: %s b) Update sysfs_create_group() error message First, it lacks a trailing new line; add it. Second, every error message in zram_add() has a "for device %d" part, which makes errors more informative. Add missing part to "Error creating sysfs group" message.

We can avoid taking class ->lock around zs_can_compact() in zs_shrinker_count(), because the number that we return back is outdated in general case, by design. We have different sources that are able to change class's state right after we return from zs_can_compact() -- ongoing I/O operations, manually triggered compaction, or two of them happening simultaneously. We re-do this calculations during compaction on a per class basis anyway. zs_unregister_shrinker() will not return until we have an active shrinker, so classes won't unexpectedly disappear while zs_shrinker_count() iterates them.

We want to see more ZS_FULL pages and less ZS_ALMOST_{FULL, EMPTY} pages. Put a page with higher ->inuse count first within its ->fullness_list, which will give us better chances to fill up this page with new objects (find_get_zspage() return ->fullness_list head for new object allocation), so some zspages will become ZS_ALMOST_FULL/ZS_FULL quicker. It performs a trivial and cheap ->inuse compare which does not slow down zsmalloc and in the worst case keeps the list pages in no particular order. A more expensive solution could sort fullness_list by ->inuse count.

Perform automatic pool compaction by a shrinker when system is getting tight on memory. User-space has a very little knowledge regarding zsmalloc fragmentation and basically has no mechanism to tell whether compaction will result in any memory gain. Another issue is that user space is not always aware of the fact that system is getting tight on memory. Which leads to very uncomfortable scenarios when user space may start issuing compaction 'randomly' or from crontab (for example). Fragmentation is not always necessarily bad, allocated and unused objects, after all, may be filled with the data later, w/o the need of allocating a new zspage. On the other hand, we obviously don't want to waste memory when the system needs it. Compaction now has a relatively quick pool scan so we are able to estimate the number of pages that will be freed easily, which makes it possible to call this function from a shrinker->count_objects() callback. We also abort compaction as soon as we detect that we can't free any pages any more, preventing wasteful objects migrations.

Compaction returns back to zram the number of migrated objects, which is quite uninformative -- we have objects of different sizes so user space cannot obtain any valuable data from that number. Change compaction to operate in terms of pages and return back to compaction issuer the number of pages that were freed during compaction. So from now on we will export more meaningful value in zram<id>/mm_stat -- the number of freed (compacted) pages. This requires: (a) a rename of `num_migrated' to 'pages_compacted' (b) a internal API change -- return first_page's fullness_group from putback_zspage(), so we know when putback_zspage() did free_zspage(). It helps us to account compaction stats correctly.

`zs_compact_control' accounts the number of migrated objects but it has a limited lifespan -- we lose it as soon as zs_compaction() returns back to zram. It worked fine, because (a) zram had it's own counter of migrated objects and (b) only zram could trigger compaction. However, this does not work for automatic pool compaction (not issued by zram). To account objects migrated during auto-compaction (issued by the shrinker) we need to store this number in zs_pool. Define a new `struct zs_pool_stats' structure to keep zs_pool's stats there. It provides only `num_migrated', as of this writing, but it surely can be extended. A new zsmalloc zs_pool_stats() symbol exports zs_pool's stats back to caller. Use zs_pool_stats() in zram and remove `num_migrated' from zram_stats.

This function checks if class compaction will free any pages. Rephrasing -- do we have enough unused objects to form at least one ZS_EMPTY page and free it. It aborts compaction if class compaction will not result in any (further) savings. EXAMPLE (this debug output is not part of this patch set): - class size - number of allocated objects - number of used objects - max objects per zspage - pages per zspage - estimated number of pages that will be freed [..] class-512 objs:544 inuse:540 maxobj-per-zspage:8 pages-per-zspage:1 zspages-to-free:0 ... class-512 compaction is useless. break class-496 objs:660 inuse:570 maxobj-per-zspage:33 pages-per-zspage:4 zspages-to-free:2 class-496 objs:627 inuse:570 maxobj-per-zspage:33 pages-per-zspage:4 zspages-to-free:1 class-496 objs:594 inuse:570 maxobj-per-zspage:33 pages-per-zspage:4 zspages-to-free:0 ... class-496 compaction is useless. break class-448 objs:657 inuse:617 maxobj-per-zspage:9 pages-per-zspage:1 zspages-to-free:4 class-448 objs:648 inuse:617 maxobj-per-zspage:9 pages-per-zspage:1 zspages-to-free:3 class-448 objs:639 inuse:617 maxobj-per-zspage:9 pages-per-zspage:1 zspages-to-free:2 class-448 objs:630 inuse:617 maxobj-per-zspage:9 pages-per-zspage:1 zspages-to-free:1 class-448 objs:621 inuse:617 maxobj-per-zspage:9 pages-per-zspage:1 zspages-to-free:0 ... class-448 compaction is useless. break class-432 objs:728 inuse:685 maxobj-per-zspage:28 pages-per-zspage:3 zspages-to-free:1 class-432 objs:700 inuse:685 maxobj-per-zspage:28 pages-per-zspage:3 zspages-to-free:0 ... class-432 compaction is useless. break class-416 objs:819 inuse:705 maxobj-per-zspage:39 pages-per-zspage:4 zspages-to-free:2 class-416 objs:780 inuse:705 maxobj-per-zspage:39 pages-per-zspage:4 zspages-to-free:1 class-416 objs:741 inuse:705 maxobj-per-zspage:39 pages-per-zspage:4 zspages-to-free:0 ... class-416 compaction is useless. break class-400 objs:690 inuse:674 maxobj-per-zspage:10 pages-per-zspage:1 zspages-to-free:1 class-400 objs:680 inuse:674 maxobj-per-zspage:10 pages-per-zspage:1 zspages-to-free:0 ... class-400 compaction is useless. break class-384 objs:736 inuse:709 maxobj-per-zspage:32 pages-per-zspage:3 zspages-to-free:0 ... class-384 compaction is useless. break [..] Every "compaction is useless" indicates that we saved CPU cycles. class-512 has 544 object allocated 540 objects used 8 objects per-page Even if we have a ALMOST_EMPTY zspage, we still don't have enough room to migrate all of its objects and free this zspage; so compaction will not make a lot of sense, it's better to just leave it as is.

Always account per-class `zs_size_stat' stats. This data will help us make better decisions during compaction. We are especially interested in OBJ_ALLOCATED and OBJ_USED, which can tell us if class compaction will result in any memory gain. For instance, we know the number of allocated objects in the class, the number of objects being used (so we also know how many objects are not used) and the number of objects per-page. So we can ensure if we have enough unused objects to form at least one ZS_EMPTY zspage during compaction. We calculate this value on per-class basis so we can calculate a total number of zspages that can be released. Which is exactly what a shrinker wants to know.

This patchset tweaks compaction and makes it possible to trigger pool compaction automatically when system is getting low on memory. zsmalloc in some cases can suffer from a notable fragmentation and compaction can release some considerable amount of memory. The problem here is that currently we fully rely on user space to perform compaction when needed. However, performing zsmalloc compaction is not always an obvious thing to do. For example, suppose we have a `idle' fragmented (compaction was never performed) zram device and system is getting low on memory due to some 3rd party user processes (gcc LTO, or firefox, etc.). It's quite unlikely that user space will issue zpool compaction in this case. Besides, user space cannot tell for sure how badly pool is fragmented; however, this info is known to zsmalloc and, hence, to a shrinker. This patch (of 7): __zs_compact() does not use `nr_to_migrate', drop it.
