Hui Zhu d2fcd82bb8 zswap: use movable memory if zpool support allocate movable memory
This is the third version that was updated according to the comments from
Sergey Senozhatsky https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/29/73 and Shakeel Butt
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/4/973

zswap compresses swap pages into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory
pool.  The memory pool should be zbud, z3fold or zsmalloc.  All of them
will allocate unmovable pages.  It will increase the number of unmovable
page blocks that will bad for anti-fragment.

zsmalloc support page migration if request movable page:
        handle = zs_malloc(zram->mem_pool, comp_len,
                GFP_NOIO | __GFP_HIGHMEM |
                __GFP_MOVABLE);

And commit "zpool: Add malloc_support_movable to zpool_driver" add
zpool_malloc_support_movable check malloc_support_movable to make sure if
a zpool support allocate movable memory.

This commit let zswap allocate block with gfp
__GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_MOVABLE if zpool support allocate movable memory.

Following part is test log in a pc that has 8G memory and 2G swap.

You can see that the number of unmovable page blocks is decreased
when the kernel has this commit.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
