This just standardizes the use of MIN() and MAX() macros, with the very
traditional semantics. The goal is to use these for C constant
expressions and for top-level / static initializers, and so be able to
simplify the min()/max() macros.
These macro names were used by various kernel code - they are very
traditional, after all - and all such users have been fixed up, with a
few different approaches:
- trivial duplicated macro definitions have been removed
Note that 'trivial' here means that it's obviously kernel code that
already included all the major kernel headers, and thus gets the new
generic MIN/MAX macros automatically.
- non-trivial duplicated macro definitions are guarded with #ifndef
This is the "yes, they define their own versions, but no, the include
situation is not entirely obvious, and maybe they don't get the
generic version automatically" case.
- strange use case #1
A couple of drivers decided that the way they want to describe their
versioning is with
#define MAJ 1
#define MIN 2
#define DRV_VERSION __stringify(MAJ) "." __stringify(MIN)
which adds zero value and I just did my Alexander the Great
impersonation, and rewrote that pointless Gordian knot as
#define DRV_VERSION "1.2"
instead.
- strange use case #2
A couple of drivers thought that it's a good idea to have a random
'MIN' or 'MAX' define for a value or index into a table, rather than
the traditional macro that takes arguments.
These values were re-written as C enum's instead. The new
function-line macros only expand when followed by an open
parenthesis, and thus don't clash with enum use.
Happily, there weren't really all that many of these cases, and a lot of
users already had the pattern of using '#ifndef' guarding (or in one
case just using '#undef MIN') before defining their own private version
that does the same thing. I left such cases alone.

A cosmetic change.
o Rename class_stat_inc() and class_stat_dec() to class_stat_add()
and class_stat_sub() correspondingly. inc/dec are usually associated
with +1/-1 modifications, while zsmlloc can modify stats by up
to ->objs_per_zspage. Use add/sub (follow atomics naming).
o Rename zs_stat_get() to class_stat_read()
get() is usually associated with ref-counting and is paired with put().
zs_stat_get() simply reads class stat so rename to reflect it.
(This also follows atomics naming).

We always use insert_zspage() and remove_zspage() to update zspage's
fullness location, which will account correctly.
But this special async free path use "splice" instead of remove_zspage(),
so the per-fullness zspage count for ZS_INUSE_RATIO_0 won't decrease.
Clean things up by decreasing when iterate over the zspage free list.
This doesn't actually fix anything. ZS_INUSE_RATIO_0 is just a
"placeholder" which is never used anywhere.

Patch series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock, v2".
Commit c0547d0b6a ("zsmalloc: consolidate zs_pool's migrate_lock and
size_class's locks") changed per-size_class lock to pool spinlock to
prepare reclaim support in zsmalloc. Then reclaim support in zsmalloc had
been dropped in favor of LRU reclaim in zswap, but this locking change had
been left there.
Obviously, the scalability of pool spinlock is worse than per-size_class.
And we have a workaround that using 32 pools in zswap to avoid this
scalability problem, which brings its own problems like memory waste and
more memory fragmentation.
So this series changes back to use per-size_class lock and using testing
data in much stressed situation to verify that we can use only one pool in
zswap. Note we only test and care about the zsmalloc backend, which makes
sense now since zsmalloc became a lot more popular than other backends.
Testing kernel build (make bzImage -j32) on tmpfs with memory.max=1GB, and
zswap shrinker enabled with 10GB swapfile on ext4.
real user sys
6.10.0-rc3 138.18 1241.38 1452.73
6.10.0-rc3-onepool 149.45 1240.45 1844.69
6.10.0-rc3-onepool-perclass 138.23 1242.37 1469.71
We can see from "sys" column that per-size_class locking with only one
pool in zswap can have near performance with the current 32 pools.
This patch (of 2):
This patch is almost the revert of the commit c0547d0b6a ("zsmalloc:
consolidate zs_pool's migrate_lock and size_class's locks"), which changed
to use a global pool->lock instead of per-size_class lock and
pool->migrate_lock, was preparation for suppporting reclaim in zsmalloc.
Then reclaim in zsmalloc had been dropped in favor of LRU reclaim in
zswap.
In theory, per-size_class is more fine-grained than the pool->lock, since
a pool can have many size_classes. As for the additional
pool->migrate_lock, only free() and map() need to grab it to access stable
handle to get zspage, and only in read lock mode.

Let's clean it up: use a proper page type and store our data (offset into
a page) in the lower 16 bit as documented.
We won't be able to support 256 KiB base pages, which is acceptable.
Teach Kconfig to handle that cleanly using a new CONFIG_HAVE_ZSMALLOC.
Based on this, we should do a proper "struct zsdesc" conversion, as
proposed in [1].
This removes the last _mapcount/page_type offender.

We will save allocated tag in the object header to indicate that it's

handle |= OBJ_ALLOCATED_TAG;
So the object header needs to reserve LSB for this tag bit.
But the handle itself doesn't need to reserve LSB to save tag, since it's
only used to find the position of object, by (pfn + obj_idx). So remove
LSB reserve from handle, one more bit can be used as obj_idx.

Note zspage->fullness is not stable outside pool->lock, remove redundant
"VM_BUG_ON(fullness != ZS_INUSE_RATIO_0)" in async_free_zspage() since we
already have the same VM_BUG_ON() in __free_zspage(), which is safe to
access zspage->fullness with pool->lock held.

- we seldom use the class_idx returned from get_zspage_mapping(), only

- set_zspage_mapping() always set the zspage->class, but it's never

The migrate write lock is to protect the race between zspage migration and
zspage objects' map users.
We only need to lock out the map users of src zspage, not dst zspage,
which is safe to map by users concurrently, since we only need to do
obj_malloc() from dst zspage.
So we can remove the migrate_write_lock_nested() use case.
As we are here, cleanup the __zs_compact() by moving putback_zspage()
outside of migrate_write_unlock since we hold pool lock, no malloc or free
users can come in.

This series is to fix and optimize the zsmalloc objects/page migration.
This patch (of 3):
migrate_write_lock() is a empty function when !CONFIG_COMPACTION, in which
case zs_compact() can be triggered from shrinker reclaim context. (Maybe
it's better to rename it to zs_shrink()?)
And zspage map object users rely on this migrate_read_lock() so object
won't be migrated elsewhere.
Fix it by always implementing the migrate_write_lock() related functions.

This is the case the "compressed" data is larger than the original data,
it is better to return -ENOSPC which can help zswap record a poor compr
rather than an invalid request. Then we get more friendly counting for
reject_compress_poor in debugfs.
bool zswap_store(struct folio *folio)

...
ret = zpool_malloc(zpool, dlen, gfp, &handle);

Also, zbud_alloc() and z3fold_alloc() are returning ENOSPC in the same
case, eg
static int z3fold_alloc(struct z3fold_pool *pool, size_t size, gfp_t gfp,
unsigned long *handle)
{
...
if (!size || (gfp & __GFP_HIGHMEM))
return -EINVAL;
if (size > PAGE_SIZE)

objects just to find out at the end that the destination zspage is full.

Patch series "zsmalloc: small compaction improvements", v2.
A tiny series that can reduce the number of find_alloced_obj() invocations
(which perform a linear scan of sub-page) during compaction. Inspired by
Alexey Romanov's findings.
This patch (of 3):
zspage migration can terminate as soon as it moves the last allocated
object from the source zspage. Add a simple helper zspage_empty() that
tests zspage ->inuse on each migration iteration.

We encountered many kernel exceptions of VM_BUG_ON(zspage->isolated ==
0) in dec_zspage_isolation() and BUG_ON(!pages[1]) in zs_unmap_object()
lately. This issue only occurs when migration and reclamation occur at
the same time.
With our memory stress test, we can reproduce this issue several times
a day. We have no idea why no one else encountered this issue. BTW,
we switched to the new kernel version with this defect a few months
ago.
Since fullness and isolated share the same unsigned int, modifications of
them should be protected by the same lock.

After some investigation, I have found the following issue: unlike other
zswap backends, zsmalloc performs the LRU list update at the object
mapping time, rather than when the slot for the object is allocated.
This deviation was discussed and agreed upon during the review process
of the zsmalloc writeback patch series:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Y3flcAXNxxrvy3ZH@cmpxchg.org/
Unfortunately, this introduces a subtle bug that occurs when there is a
concurrent store and reclaim, which interleave as follows:
zswap_frontswap_store() shrink_worker()
zs_malloc() zs_zpool_shrink()
spin_lock(&pool->lock) zs_reclaim_page()
zspage = find_get_zspage()
spin_unlock(&pool->lock)
spin_lock(&pool->lock)
zspage = list_first_entry(&pool->lru)
list_del(&zspage->lru)
zspage->lru.next = LIST_POISON1
zspage->lru.prev = LIST_POISON2
spin_unlock(&pool->lock)
zs_map_object()
spin_lock(&pool->lock)
if (!list_empty(&zspage->lru))
list_del(&zspage->lru)
CHECK_DATA_CORRUPTION(next == LIST_POISON1) /* BOOM */
With the current upstream code, this issue rarely happens. zswap only
triggers writeback when the pool is already full, at which point all
further store attempts are short-circuited. This creates an implicit
pseudo-serialization between reclaim and store. I am working on a new
zswap shrinking mechanism, which makes interleaving reclaim and store
more likely, exposing this bug.
zbud and z3fold do not have this problem, because they perform the LRU
list update in the alloc function, while still holding the pool's lock.
This patch fixes the aforementioned bug by moving the LRU update back to
zs_malloc(), analogous to zbud and z3fold.

zsmalloc pool can be compacted concurrently by many contexts,

cc1 handle_mm_fault()
do_anonymous_page()
__alloc_pages_slowpath()
try_to_free_pages()
do_try_to_free_pages(
lru_gen_shrink_node()
shrink_slab()
do_shrink_slab()
zs_shrinker_scan()
zs_compact()
Pool compaction is currently (basically) single-threaded as
it is performed under pool->lock. Having multiple compaction
threads results in unnecessary contention, as each thread
competes for pool->lock. This, in turn, affects all zsmalloc
operations such as zs_malloc(), zs_map_object(), zs_free(), etc.
Introduce the pool->compaction_in_progress atomic variable,
which ensures that only one compaction context can run at a
time. This reduces overall pool->lock contention in (corner)
cases when many contexts attempt to shrink zspool simultaneously.

__zs_compact() could use a stale zspage pointer. This pointer could even
point to a previously freed zspage, causing unexpected behavior in the
putback_zspage() and migrate_write_unlock() functions after returning from

Address the issue by ensuring that the source zspage pointer is always set

The zsmalloc compaction algorithm has the potential to waste some CPU
cycles, particularly when compacting pages within the same fullness group.
This is due to the way it selects the head page of the fullness list for
source and destination pages, and how it reinserts those pages during each
iteration. The algorithm may first use a page as a migration destination
and then as a migration source, leading to an unnecessary back-and-forth
movement of objects.
Consider the following fullness list:
PageA PageB PageC PageD PageE
During the first iteration, the compaction algorithm will select PageA as
the source and PageB as the destination. All of PageA's objects will be
moved to PageB, and then PageA will be released while PageB is reinserted
into the fullness list.
PageB PageC PageD PageE
During the next iteration, the compaction algorithm will again select the
head of the list as the source and destination, meaning that PageB will
now serve as the source and PageC as the destination. This will result in
the objects being moved away from PageB, the same objects that were just
moved to PageB in the previous iteration.
To prevent this avalanche effect, the compaction algorithm should not
reinsert the destination page between iterations. By doing so, the most
optimal page will continue to be used and its usage ratio will increase,
reducing internal fragmentation. The destination page should only be
reinserted into the fullness list if:
- It becomes full
- No source page is available.
TEST
====
It's very challenging to reliably test this series. I ended up developing
my own synthetic test that has 100% reproducibility. The test generates
significan fragmentation (for each size class) and then performs
compaction for each class individually and tracks the number of memcpy()
in zs_object_copy(), so that we can compare the amount work compaction
does on per-class basis.

Each zspage maintains ->inuse counter which keeps track of the number of
objects stored in the zspage. The ->inuse counter also determines the
zspage's "fullness group" which is calculated as the ratio of the "inuse"
objects to the total number of objects the zspage can hold
(objs_per_zspage). The closer the ->inuse counter is to objs_per_zspage,
the better.
Each size class maintains several fullness lists, that keep track of
zspages of particular "fullness". Pages within each fullness list are
stored in random order with regard to the ->inuse counter. This is
because sorting the zspages by ->inuse counter each time obj_malloc() or
obj_free() is called would be too expensive. However, the ->inuse counter
is still a crucial factor in many situations.
For the two major zsmalloc operations, zs_malloc() and zs_compact(), we
typically select the head zspage from the corresponding fullness list as
the best candidate zspage. However, this assumption is not always
accurate.
For the zs_malloc() operation, the optimal candidate zspage should have
the highest ->inuse counter. This is because the goal is to maximize the
number of ZS_FULL zspages and make full use of all allocated memory.
For the zs_compact() operation, the optimal source zspage should have the
lowest ->inuse counter. This is because compaction needs to move objects
in use to another page before it can release the zspage and return its
physical pages to the buddy allocator. The fewer objects in use, the
quicker compaction can release the zspage. Additionally, compaction is
measured by the number of pages it releases.
This patch reworks the fullness grouping mechanism. Instead of having two
groups - ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY (usage ratio below 3/4) and ZS_ALMOST_FULL (usage
ration above 3/4) - that result in too many zspages being included in the
ALMOST_EMPTY group for specific classes, size classes maintain a larger
number of fullness lists that give strict guarantees on the minimum and
maximum ->inuse values within each group. Each group represents a 10%
change in the ->inuse ratio compared to neighboring groups. In essence,
there are groups for zspages with 0%, 10%, 20% usage ratios, and so on, up
to 100%.
This enhances the selection of candidate zspages for both zs_malloc() and
zs_compact(). A printout of the ->inuse counters of the first 7 zspages
per (random) class fullness group:
class-768 objs_per_zspage 16:
fullness 100%: empty
fullness 99%: empty
fullness 90%: empty
fullness 80%: empty
fullness 70%: empty
fullness 60%: 8 8 9 9 8 8 8
fullness 50%: empty
fullness 40%: 5 5 6 5 5 5 5
fullness 30%: 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
fullness 20%: 2 3 2 3 3 2 2
fullness 10%: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
fullness 0%: empty
The zs_malloc() function searches through the groups of pages starting
with the one having the highest usage ratio. This means that it always
selects a zspage from the group with the least internal fragmentation
(highest usage ratio) and makes it even less fragmented by increasing its
usage ratio.
The zs_compact() function, on the other hand, begins by scanning the group
with the highest fragmentation (lowest usage ratio) to locate the source
page. The first available zspage is selected, and then the function moves
downward to find a destination zspage in the group with the lowest
internal fragmentation (highest usage ratio).

Patch series "zsmalloc: fine-grained fullness and new compaction
algorithm", v4.
Existing zsmalloc page fullness grouping leads to suboptimal page
selection for both zs_malloc() and zs_compact(). This patchset reworks
zsmalloc fullness grouping/classification.
Additinally it also implements new compaction algorithm that is expected
to use less CPU-cycles (as it potentially does fewer memcpy-s in
zs_object_copy()).
Test (synthetic) results can be seen in patch 0003.
This patch (of 4):
This optimization has no effect. It only ensures that when a zspage was
added to its corresponding fullness list, its "inuse" counter was higher
or lower than the "inuse" counter of the zspage at the head of the list.
The intention was to keep busy zspages at the head, so they could be
filled up and moved to the ZS_FULL fullness group more quickly. However,
this doesn't work as the "inuse" counter of a zspage can be modified by
obj_free() but the zspage may still belong to the same fullness list. So,
fix_fullness_group() won't change the zspage's position in relation to the
head's "inuse" counter, leading to a largely random order of zspages
within the fullness list.
For instance, consider a printout of the "inuse" counters of the first 10
zspages in a class that holds 93 objects per zspage:
ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY: 36 67 68 64 35 54 63 52
As we can see the zspage with the lowest "inuse" counter
is actually the head of the fullness list.
Remove this pointless "optimisation".

Current algorithm will select 2 page per zspage configuration, as it's the
first one to reach 99%. However, 3 pages per zspage waste less memory.
Change algorithm and select zspage configuration that has lowest wasted
value.

Currently, there is a race between zs_free() and zs_reclaim_page():
zs_reclaim_page() finds a handle to an allocated object, but before the
eviction happens, an independent zs_free() call to the same handle could
come in and overwrite the object value stored at the handle with the last
deferred handle. When zs_reclaim_page() finally gets to call the eviction
handler, it will see an invalid object value (i.e the previous deferred
handle instead of the original object value).
This race happens quite infrequently. We only managed to produce it with
out-of-tree developmental code that triggers zsmalloc writeback with a
much higher frequency than usual.
This patch fixes this race by storing the deferred handle in the object
header instead. We differentiate the deferred handle from the other two
cases (handle for allocated object, and linkage for free object) with a
new tag. If zspage reclamation succeeds, we will free these deferred
handles by walking through the zspage objects. On the other hand, if
zspage reclamation fails, we reconstruct the zspage freelist (with the
deferred handle tag and allocated tag) before trying again with the
reclamation.

The only in-kernel users that need PageMovable() to be exported are z3fold
and zsmalloc and they are only using it for dubious debugging
functionality. So remove those usages and the export so that no driver
code accidentally thinks that they are allowed to use this symbol.

This commit adds the writeback mechanism for zsmalloc, analogous to the
zbud allocator. Zsmalloc will attempt to determine the coldest zspage
(i.e least recently used) in the pool, and attempt to write back all the
stored compressed objects via the pool's evict handler.

Currently, zsmalloc has a hierarchy of locks, which includes a pool-level
migrate_lock, and a lock for each size class. We have to obtain both
locks in the hotpath in most cases anyway, except for zs_malloc. This
exception will no longer exist when we introduce a LRU into the zs_pool
for the new writeback functionality - we will need to obtain a pool-level
lock to synchronize LRU handling even in zs_malloc.
In preparation for zsmalloc writeback, consolidate these locks into a
single pool-level lock, which drastically reduces the complexity of
synchronization in zsmalloc.
We have also benchmarked the lock consolidation to see the performance
effect of this change on zram.
First, we ran a synthetic FS workload on a server machine with 36 cores
(same machine for all runs), using
fs_mark -d ../zram1mnt -s 100000 -n 2500 -t 32 -k
before and after for btrfs and ext4 on zram (FS usage is 80%).
Here is the result (unit is file/second):
With lock consolidation (btrfs):
Average: 13520.2, Median: 13531.0, Stddev: 137.5961482019028
Without lock consolidation (btrfs):
Average: 13487.2, Median: 13575.0, Stddev: 309.08283679298665
With lock consolidation (ext4):
Average: 16824.4, Median: 16839.0, Stddev: 89.97388510006668
Without lock consolidation (ext4)
Average: 16958.0, Median: 16986.0, Stddev: 194.7370021336469
As you can see, we observe a 0.3% regression for btrfs, and a 0.9%
regression for ext4. This is a small, barely measurable difference in my
opinion.
For a more realistic scenario, we also tries building the kernel on zram.
Here is the time it takes (in seconds):
With lock consolidation (btrfs):
real
Average: 319.6, Median: 320.0, Stddev: 0.8944271909999159
user
Average: 6894.2, Median: 6895.0, Stddev: 25.528415540334656

Without lock consolidation (btrfs):

sys
Average: 520.6, Median: 521.0, Stddev: 1.140175425099138

user
Average: 6896.8, Median: 6878.0, Stddev: 28.621670111997307

The difference is entirely within the noise of a typical run on zram.
This hardly justifies the complexity of maintaining both the pool lock and
the class lock. In fact, for writeback, we would need to introduce yet
another lock to prevent data races on the pool's LRU, further complicating
the lock handling logic. IMHO, it is just better to collapse all of these
into a single pool-level lock.

It makes no sense for us to recompress the object if it will be in the
same size class. We anyway don't get any memory gain. But, at the same
time, we get a CPU time overhead when inserting this object into zspage
and decompressing it afterwards.

Inside the zs_destroy_pool() function, there can still be NULL size_class
pointers: if when the next size_class is allocated, inside
zs_create_pool() function, kzalloc will return NULL and handling the error
condition, zs_create_pool() will call zs_destroy_pool().

Since commit ffedd09fa9 ("zsmalloc: Stop using slab fields in struct
page") we are using page->page_type (unsigned int) field instead of
page->units (int) as first object offset in a subpage of zspage. So
get_first_obj_offset() and set_first_obj_offset() functions should work
with unsigned int type.
