| * zsfold: Convert zsfold to use the new mount APIDavid Howells2019-05-251-5/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the zsfold filesystem to the new internal mount API as the old one will be obsoleted and removed. This allows greater flexibility in communication of mount parameters between userspace, the VFS and the filesystem. See Documentation/filesystems/mount_api.txt for more information.

| * mount_pseudo(): drop 'name' argument, switch to d_make_root()Al Viro2019-05-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once upon a time we used to set ->d_name of e.g. pipefs root so that d_path() on pipes would work. These days it's completely pointless - dentries of pipes are not even connected to pipefs root. However, mount_pseudo() had set the root dentry name (passed as the second argument) and callers kept inventing names to pass to it. Including those that didn't *have* any non-root dentries to start with... All of that had been pointless for about 8 years now; it's time to get rid of that cargo-culting...

* | mm/z3fold.c: reinitialize zhdr structs after migrationHenry Burns2019-07-161-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | z3fold_page_migration() calls memcpy(new_zhdr, zhdr, PAGE_SIZE). However, zhdr contains fields that can't be directly coppied over (ex: list_head, a circular linked list). We only need to initialize the linked lists in new_zhdr, as z3fold_isolate_page() already ensures that these lists are empty Additionally it is possible that zhdr->work has been placed in a workqueue. In this case we shouldn't migrate the page, as zhdr->work references zhdr as opposed to new_zhdr.

* mm/z3fold.c: support page migrationVitaly Wool2019-05-141-10/+231
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we are not using page address in handles directly, we can make z3fold pages movable to decrease the memory fragmentation z3fold may create over time. This patch starts advertising non-headless z3fold pages as movable and uses the existing kernel infrastructure to implement moving of such pages per memory management subsystem's request. It thus implements 3 required callbacks for page migration: * isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page by removing it from all lists. Pages scheduled for some activity and mapped pages will not be isolated. Return true if isolation was successful or false otherwise * migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the memory subsystem. Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise * putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i. e. not with -EAGAIN code).

* mm/z3fold.c: introduce helper functionsVitaly Wool2019-05-141-84/+100
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "z3fold: support page migration", v2. This patchset implements page migration support and slightly better buddy search. To implement page migration support, z3fold has to move away from the current scheme of handle encoding. i. e. stop encoding page address in handles. Instead, a small per-page structure is created which will contain actual addresses for z3fold objects, while pointers to fields of that structure will be used as handles. Thus, it will be possible to change the underlying addresses to reflect page migration. To support migration itself, 3 callbacks will be implemented: 1: isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page by removing it from all lists. Pages scheduled for some activity and mapped pages will not be isolated. Return true if isolation was successful or false otherwise 2: migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the system. Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise 3: putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i. e. not with -EAGAIN code). To make sure an isolated page doesn't get freed, its kref is incremented in z3fold_page_isolate() and decremented during post-migration compaction, if migration was successful, or by z3fold_page_putback() in the other case. Since the new handle encoding scheme implies slight memory consumption increase, better buddy search (which decreases memory consumption) is included in this patchset. This patch (of 4): Introduce a separate helper function for object allocation, as well as 2 smaller helpers to add a buddy to the list and to get a pointer to the pool from the z3fold header. No functional changes here.

* z3fold: fix possible reclaim racesVitaly Wool2018-11-181-39/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reclaim and free can race on an object which is basically fine but in order for reclaim to be able to map "freed" object we need to encode object length in the handle. handle_to_chunks() is then introduced to extract object length from a handle and use it during mapping. Moreover, to avoid racing on a z3fold "headless" page release, we should not try to free that page in z3fold_free() if the reclaim bit is set. Also, in the unlikely case of trying to reclaim a page being freed, we should not proceed with that page. While at it, fix the page accounting in reclaim function. This patch supersedes "[PATCH] z3fold: fix reclaim lock-ups".

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently if z3fold couldn't find an unbuddied page it would first try to pull a page off the stale list. The problem with this approach is that we can't 100% guarantee that the page is not processed by the workqueue thread at the same time unless we run cancel_work_sync() on it, which we can't do if we're in an atomic context. So let's just limit stale list usage to non-atomic contexts only.

* mm/z3fold.c: use kref to prevent page free/compact raceVitaly Wool2017-11-171-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race in the current z3fold implementation between do_compact() called in a work queue context and the page release procedure when page's kref goes to 0. do_compact() may be waiting for page lock, which is released by release_z3fold_page_locked right before putting the page onto the "stale" list, and then the page may be freed as do_compact() modifies its contents. The mechanism currently implemented to handle that (checking the PAGE_STALE flag) is not reliable enough. Instead, we'll use page's kref counter to guarantee that the page is not released if its compaction is scheduled. It then becomes compaction function's responsibility to decrease the counter and quit immediately if the page was actually freed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible that on a (partially) unsuccessful page reclaim, kref_put() called in z3fold_reclaim_page() does not yield page release, but the page is released shortly afterwards by another thread. Then z3fold_reclaim_page() would try to list_add() that (released) page again which is obviously a bug. To avoid that, spin_lock() has to be taken earlier, before the kref_put() call mentioned earlier.

* z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied listsVitaly Wool2017-09-061-135/+344
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

* z3fold: fix page locking in z3fold_alloc()Vitaly Wool2017-04-131-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stress testing of the current z3fold implementation on a 8-core system revealed it was possible that a z3fold page deleted from its unbuddied list in z3fold_alloc() would be put on another unbuddied list by z3fold_free() while z3fold_alloc() is still processing it. This has been introduced with commit 5a27aa822 ("z3fold: add kref refcounting") due to the removal of special handling of a z3fold page not on any list in z3fold_free(). To fix this, the z3fold page lock should be taken in z3fold_alloc() before the pool lock is released. To avoid deadlocking, we just try to lock the page as soon as we get a hold of it, and if trylock fails, we drop this page and take the next one.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | With both coming and already present locking optimizations, introducing kref to reference-count z3fold objects is the right thing to do. Moreover, it makes buddied list no longer necessary, and allows for a simpler handling of headless pages.

* z3fold: use per-page spinlockVitaly Wool2017-02-241-42/+106
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of z3fold operations are in-page, such as modifying z3fold page header or moving z3fold objects within a page. Taking per-pool spinlock to protect per-page objects is therefore suboptimal, and the idea of having a per-page spinlock (or rwlock) has been around for some time. This patch implements spinlock-based per-page locking mechanism which is lightweight enough to normally fit ok into the z3fold header.

* z3fold: extend compaction functionVitaly Wool2017-02-241-1/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | z3fold_compact_page() currently only handles the situation when there's a single middle chunk within the z3fold page. However it may be worth it to move middle chunk closer to either first or last chunk, whichever is there, if the gap between them is big enough. This patch adds the relevant code, using BIG_CHUNK_GAP define as a threshold for middle chunk to be worth moving.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the whole kernel build will be stopped if the size of struct z3fold_header is greater than the size of one chunk, which is 64 bytes by default. This patch instead defines the offset for z3fold objects as the size of the z3fold header in chunks. Fixed also are the calculation of num_free_chunks() and the address to move the middle chunk to in case of in-page compaction in z3fold_compact_page().

* z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pagesVitaly Wool2016-05-201-0/+792
This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].
