zram: preparation for multi-zcomp support

2022-11-30T23:58:51Z

Patch series "zram: Support multiple compression streams", v5. This series adds support for multiple compression streams. The main idea is that different compression algorithms have different characteristics and zram may benefit when it uses a combination of algorithms: a default algorithm that is faster but have lower compression rate and a secondary algorithm that can use higher compression rate at a price of slower compression/decompression. There are several use-case for this functionality: - huge pages re-compression: zstd or deflate can successfully compress huge pages (~50% of huge pages on my synthetic ChromeOS tests), IOW pages that lzo was not able to compress. - idle pages re-compression: idle/cold pages sit in the memory and we may reduce zsmalloc memory usage if we recompress those idle pages. Userspace has a number of ways to control the behavior and impact of zram recompression: what type of pages should be recompressed, size watermarks, etc. Please refer to documentation patch. This patch (of 13): The patch turns compression streams and compressor algorithm name struct zram members into arrays, so that we can have multiple compression streams support (in the next patches). The patch uses a rather explicit API for compressor selection: - Get primary (default) compression stream zcomp_stream_get(zram->comps[ZRAM_PRIMARY_COMP]) - Get secondary compression stream zcomp_stream_get(zram->comps[ZRAM_SECONDARY_COMP]) We use similar API for compression streams put(). At this point we always have just one compression stream, since CONFIG_ZRAM_MULTI_COMP is not yet defined.

zram: Use local lock to protect per-CPU data

2020-05-28T08:31:10Z

The zcomp driver uses per-CPU compression. The per-CPU data pointer is acquired with get_cpu_ptr() which implicitly disables preemption. It allocates memory inside the preempt disabled region which conflicts with the PREEMPT_RT semantics. Replace the implicit preemption control with an explicit local lock. This allows RT kernels to substitute it with a real per CPU lock, which serializes the access but keeps the code section preemptible. On non RT kernels this maps to preempt_disable() as before, i.e. no functional change.

zram: Allocate struct zcomp_strm as per-CPU memory

2020-05-28T08:31:10Z

zcomp::stream is a per-CPU pointer, pointing to struct zcomp_strm which contains two pointers. Having struct zcomp_strm allocated directly as per-CPU memory would avoid one additional memory allocation and a pointer dereference. This also simplifies the addition of a local_lock to struct zcomp_strm. Allocate zcomp::stream directly as per-CPU memory.

zram: switch to crypto compress API

2016-07-26T23:19:19Z

We don't have an idle zstreams list anymore and our write path now works absolutely differently, preventing preemption during compression. This removes possibilities of read paths preempting writes at wrong places (which could badly affect the performance of both paths) and at the same time opens the door for a move from custom LZO/LZ4 compression backends implementation to a more generic one, using crypto compress API. Joonsoo Kim [1] attempted to do this a while ago, but faced with the need of introducing a new crypto API interface. The root cause was the fact that crypto API compression algorithms require a compression stream structure (in zram terminology) for both compression and decompression ops, while in reality only several of compression algorithms really need it. This resulted in a concept of context-less crypto API compression backends [2]. Both write and read paths, though, would have been executed with the preemption enabled, which in the worst case could have resulted in a decreased worst-case performance, e.g. consider the following case: CPU0 zram_write() spin_lock() take the last idle stream spin_unlock() << preempted >> zram_read() spin_lock() no idle streams spin_unlock() schedule() resuming zram_write compression() but it took me some time to realize that, and it took even longer to evolve zram and to make it ready for crypto API. The key turned out to be -- drop the idle streams list entirely. Without the idle streams list we are free to use compression algorithms that require compression stream for decompression (read), because streams are now placed in per-cpu data and each write path has to disable preemption for compression op, almost completely eliminating the aforementioned case (technically, we still have a small chance, because write path has a fast and a slow paths and the slow path is executed with the preemption enabled; but the frequency of failed fast path is too low).

zram: rename zstrm find-release functions

2016-07-26T23:19:19Z

This has started as a 'add zlib support' work, but after some thinking I saw no blockers for a bigger change -- a switch to crypto API. We don't have an idle zstreams list anymore and our write path now works absolutely differently, preventing preemption during compression. This removes possibilities of read paths preempting writes at wrong places and opens the door for a move from custom LZO/LZ4 compression backends implementation to a more generic one, using crypto compress API. This patch set also eliminates the need of a new context-less crypto API interface, which was quite hard to sell, so we can move along faster. benchmarks: (x86_64, 4GB, zram-perf script) perf reported run-time fio (max jobs=3). I performed fio test with the increasing number of parallel jobs (max to 3) on a 3G zram device, using `static' data and the following crypto comp algorithms: 842, deflate, lz4, lz4hc, lzo the output was: - test running time (which can tell us what algorithms performs faster) and - zram mm_stat (which tells the compressed memory size, max used memory, etc). It's just for information. for example, LZ4HC has twice the running time of LZO, but the compressed memory size is: 23592960 vs 34603008 bytes. test-fio-zram-842 197.907655282 seconds time elapsed 201.623142884 seconds time elapsed 226.854291345 seconds time elapsed test-fio-zram-DEFLATE 253.259516155 seconds time elapsed 258.148563401 seconds time elapsed 290.251909365 seconds time elapsed test-fio-zram-LZ4 27.022598717 seconds time elapsed 29.580522717 seconds time elapsed 33.293463430 seconds time elapsed test-fio-zram-LZ4HC 56.393954615 seconds time elapsed 74.904659747 seconds time elapsed 101.940998564 seconds time elapsed test-fio-zram-LZO 28.155948075 seconds time elapsed 30.390036330 seconds time elapsed 34.455773159 seconds time elapsed zram mm_stat-s (max fio jobs=3) test-fio-zram-842 mm_stat (jobs1): 3221225472 673185792 690266112 0 690266112 0 0 mm_stat (jobs2): 3221225472 673185792 690266112 0 690266112 0 0 mm_stat (jobs3): 3221225472 673185792 690266112 0 690266112 0 0 test-fio-zram-DEFLATE mm_stat (jobs1): 3221225472 24379392 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 mm_stat (jobs2): 3221225472 24379392 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 mm_stat (jobs3): 3221225472 24379392 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 test-fio-zram-LZ4 mm_stat (jobs1): 3221225472 23592960 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 mm_stat (jobs2): 3221225472 23592960 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 mm_stat (jobs3): 3221225472 23592960 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 test-fio-zram-LZ4HC mm_stat (jobs1): 3221225472 23592960 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 mm_stat (jobs2): 3221225472 23592960 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 mm_stat (jobs3): 3221225472 23592960 37761024 0 37761024 0 0 test-fio-zram-LZO mm_stat (jobs1): 3221225472 34603008 50335744 0 50335744 0 0 mm_stat (jobs2): 3221225472 34603008 50335744 0 50335744 0 0 mm_stat (jobs3): 3221225472 34603008 50335744 0 50339840 0 0 This patch (of 8): We don't perform any zstream idle list lookup anymore, so zcomp_strm_find()/zcomp_strm_release() names are not representative.

zram: user per-cpu compression streams

2016-05-21T00:58:30Z

Remove idle streams list and keep compression streams in per-cpu data. This removes two contented spin_lock()/spin_unlock() calls from write path and also prevent write OP from being preempted while holding the compression stream, which can cause slow downs. For instance, let's assume that we have N cpus and N-2 max_comp_streams.TASK1 owns the last idle stream, TASK2-TASK3 come in with the write requests: TASK1 TASK2 TASK3 zram_bvec_write() spin_lock find stream spin_unlock compress <> zram_bvec_write() spin_lock find stream spin_unlock no_stream schedule zram_bvec_write() spin_lock find_stream spin_unlock no_stream schedule spin_lock release stream spin_unlock wake up TASK2 not only TASK2 and TASK3 will not get the stream, TASK1 will be preempted in the middle of its operation; while we would prefer it to finish compression and release the stream. Test environment: x86_64, 4 CPU box, 3G zram, lzo The following fio tests were executed: read, randread, write, randwrite, rw, randrw with the increasing number of jobs from 1 to 10. 4 streams 8

zram: pass gfp from zcomp frontend to backend

2016-01-15T19:40:51Z

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.
