To prevent any issues with persistent data, separate lzo-rle from lzo so
that it is treated as a separate algorithm, and lzo is still available.

ZSTD tends to outperform deflate/inflate, thus we remove zlib from the
list of recommended algorithms and recommend zstd instead.

Over all, ZSTD has slower WRITE, but much faster READ (perhaps
a static compression buffer used during the test helped ZSTD a
lot), which results in faster test results.

Minchan said:
: I did test with my sample data and compared zstd with deflate. zstd's
: compress ratio is lower a little bit but compression speed is much faster
: 3 times more and decompress speed is too 2 times more. With different
: data, it is different but overall, zstd would be better for speed at the
: cost of a little lower compress ratio(about 5%) so I believe it's worth to
: replace deflate.

We now allocate streams from CPU_UP hot-plug path, there are no
context-dependent stream allocations anymore and we can schedule from
zcomp_strm_alloc(). Use GFP_KERNEL directly and drop a gfp_t parameter.

Add "deflate", "lz4hc", "842" algorithms to the list of known
compression backends. The real availability of those algorithms,
however, depends on the corresponding CONFIG_CRYPTO_FOO config options.

There is no way to get a string with all the crypto comp algorithms
supported by the crypto comp engine, so we need to maintain our own
backends list. At the same time we additionally need to use
crypto_has_comp() to make sure that the user has requested a compression
algorithm that is recognized by the crypto comp engine. Relying on
/proc/crypto is not an options here, because it does not show
not-yet-inserted compression modules.
Example:
modprobe zram
cat /proc/crypto | grep -i lz4
modprobe lz4
cat /proc/crypto | grep -i lz4
name : lz4
driver : lz4-generic
module : lz4
So the user can't tell exactly if the lz4 is really supported from
/proc/crypto output, unless someone or something has loaded it.
This patch also adds crypto_has_comp() to zcomp_available_show(). We
store all the compression algorithms names in zcomp's `backends' array,
regardless the CONFIG_CRYPTO_FOO configuration, but show only those that
are also supported by crypto engine. This helps user to know the exact
list of compression algorithms that can be used.
Example:
module lz4 is not loaded yet, but is supported by the crypto
engine. /proc/crypto has no information on this module, while
zram's `comp_algorithm' lists it:
cat /proc/crypto | grep -i lz4
cat /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
[lzo] lz4 deflate lz4hc 842
We still use the `backends' array to determine if the requested
compression backend is known to crypto api. This array, however, may not
contain some entries, therefore as the last step we call crypto_has_comp()
function which attempts to insmod the requested compression algorithm to
determine if crypto api supports it. The advantage of this method is that
now we permit the usage of out-of-tree crypto compression modules
(implementing S/W or H/W compression).

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).

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.

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.
Rename to zcomp_stream_get()/zcomp_stream_put().

Remove the internal part of max_comp_streams interface, since we
switched to per-cpu streams. We will keep RW max_comp_streams attr
around, because:
a) we may (silently) switch back to idle compression streams list and
don't want to disturb user space
b) max_comp_streams attr must wait for the next 'lay off cycle'; we
give user space 2 years to adjust before we remove/downgrade the attr,
and there are already several attrs scheduled for removal in 4.11, so
it's too late for max_comp_streams.
This slightly change a user visible behaviour:
- First, reading from max_comp_stream file now will always return the
number of online CPUs.
- Second, writing to max_comp_stream will not take any effect.

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
<<preempted>> 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.

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.

We can end up allocating a new compression stream with GFP_KERNEL from
within the IO path, which may result is nested (recursive) IO
operations. That can introduce problems if the IO path in question is a
reclaimer, holding some locks that will deadlock nested IOs.
Allocate streams and working memory using GFP_NOIO flag, forbidding
recursive IO and FS operations.

zcomp_create() verifies the success of zcomp_strm_{multi,single}_create()
through comp->stream, which can potentially be pointing to memory that
was freed if these functions returned an error.
While at it, replace a 'ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)' by a more generic
'ERR_PTR(error)' as in the future zcomp_strm_{multi,siggle}_create()
could return other error codes. Function documentation updated
accordingly.

Improvement idea by Marcin Jabrzyk.
comp_algorithm_store() silently accepts any supplied algorithm name,
because zram performs algorithm availability check later, during the
device configuration phase in disksize_store() and emits the following
error:
"zram: Cannot initialise %s compressing backend"
this error line is somewhat generic and, besides, can indicate a failed
attempt to allocate compression backend's working buffers.
add algorithm availability check to comp_algorithm_store():
echo lzz > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Supplied sysfs values sometimes contain new-line symbols (echo vs. echo
-n), which we also copy as a compression algorithm name. it works fine
when we lookup for compression algorithm, because we use sysfs_streq()
which takes care of new line symbols. however, it doesn't look nice when
we print compression algorithm name if zcomp_create() failed:
zram: Cannot initialise LXZ
compressing backend
cut trailing new-line, so the error string will look like
zram: Cannot initialise LXZ compressing backend
we also now can replace sysfs_streq() in zcomp_available_show() with
strcmp().

sysfs.txt documentation lists the following requirements:
- The buffer will always be PAGE_SIZE bytes in length. On i386, this
is 4096.
- show() methods should return the number of bytes printed into the
buffer. This is the return value of scnprintf().
- show() should always use scnprintf().
Use scnprintf() in show() functions.

When we initialized zcomp with single, we couldn't change
max_comp_streams without zram reset but current interface doesn't show
any error to user and even it changes max_comp_streams's value without
any effect so it would make user very confusing.
This patch prevents max_comp_streams's change when zcomp was initialized
as single zcomp and emit the error to user(ex, echo).

Instead of returning just NULL, return ERR_PTR from zcomp_create() if
compressing backend creation has failed. ERR_PTR(-EINVAL) for unsupported
compression algorithm request, ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM) for allocation (zcomp or
compression stream) error.
Perform IS_ERR() check of returned from zcomp_create() value in
disksize_store() and set return code to PTR_ERR().

This patch allows to change max_comp_streams on initialised zcomp.
Introduce zcomp set_max_streams() knob, zcomp_strm_multi_set_max_streams()
and zcomp_strm_single_set_max_streams() callbacks to change streams limit
for zcomp_strm_multi and zcomp_strm_single, accordingly. set_max_streams
for single steam zcomp does nothing.
If user has lowered the limit, then zcomp_strm_multi_set_max_streams()
attempts to immediately free extra streams (as much as it can, depending
on idle streams availability).
Note, this patch does not allow to change stream 'policy' from single to
multi stream (or vice versa) on already initialised compression backend.

Existing zram (zcomp) implementation has only one compression stream
(buffer and algorithm private part), so in order to prevent data
corruption only one write (compress operation) can use this compression
stream, forcing all concurrent write operations to wait for stream lock
to be released. This patch changes zcomp to keep a compression streams
list of user-defined size (via sysfs device attr). Each write operation
still exclusively holds compression stream, the difference is that we
can have N write operations (depending on size of streams list)
executing in parallel. See TEST section later in commit message for
performance data.
Introduce struct zcomp_strm_multi and a set of functions to manage
zcomp_strm stream access. zcomp_strm_multi has a list of idle
zcomp_strm structs, spinlock to protect idle list and wait queue, making
it possible to perform parallel compressions.
The following set of functions added:
- zcomp_strm_multi_find()/zcomp_strm_multi_release()
find and release a compression stream, implement required locking
- zcomp_strm_multi_create()/zcomp_strm_multi_destroy()
create and destroy zcomp_strm_multi
zcomp ->strm_find() and ->strm_release() callbacks are set during
initialisation to zcomp_strm_multi_find()/zcomp_strm_multi_release()
correspondingly.
Each time zcomp issues a zcomp_strm_multi_find() call, the following set
of operations performed:
- spin lock strm_lock
- if idle list is not empty, remove zcomp_strm from idle list, spin
unlock and return zcomp stream pointer to caller
- if idle list is empty, current adds itself to wait queue. it will be
awaken by zcomp_strm_multi_release() caller.
zcomp_strm_multi_release():
- spin lock strm_lock
- add zcomp stream to idle list
- spin unlock, wake up sleeper
Minchan Kim reported that spinlock-based locking scheme has demonstrated
a severe perfomance regression for single compression stream case,
comparing to mutex-based (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/18/16)

When only one compression stream available, mutex with spin on owner
tends to perform much better than frequent wait_event()/wake_up(). This
is why single stream implemented as a special case with mutex locking.
Introduce and document zram device attribute max_comp_streams. This
attr shows and stores current zcomp's max number of zcomp streams
(max_strm). Extend zcomp's zcomp_create() with `max_strm' parameter.
`max_strm' limits the number of zcomp_strm structs in compression
backend's idle list (max_comp_streams).
max_comp_streams used during initialisation as follows:
-- passing to zcomp_create() max_strm equals to 1 will initialise zcomp
using single compression stream zcomp_strm_single (mutex-based locking).
-- passing to zcomp_create() max_strm greater than 1 will initialise zcomp
using multi compression stream zcomp_strm_multi (spinlock-based locking).
default max_comp_streams value is 1, meaning that zram with single stream
will be initialised.
Later patch will introduce configuration knob to change max_comp_streams
on already initialised and used zcomp.

This is preparation patch to add multi stream support to zcomp.
Introduce struct zcomp_strm_single and a set of functions to manage
zcomp_strm stream access. zcomp_strm_single implements single compession
stream, same way as current zcomp implementation. This moves zcomp_strm
stream control and locking from zcomp, so compressing backend zcomp is not
aware of required locking.
Single and multi streams require different locking schemes. Minchan Kim
reported that spinlock-based locking scheme (which is used in multi stream
implementation) has demonstrated a severe perfomance regression for single
compression stream case, comparing to mutex-based. see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/18/16
The following set of functions added:
- zcomp_strm_single_find()/zcomp_strm_single_release()
find and release a compression stream, implement required locking
- zcomp_strm_single_create()/zcomp_strm_single_destroy()
create and destroy zcomp_strm_single
New ->strm_find() and ->strm_release() callbacks added to zcomp, which are
set to zcomp_strm_single_find() and zcomp_strm_single_release() during
initialisation. Instead of direct locking and zcomp_strm access from
zcomp_strm_find() and zcomp_strm_release(), zcomp now calls ->strm_find()
and ->strm_release() correspondingly.

ZRAM performs direct LZO compression algorithm calls, making it the one
and only option. While LZO is generally performs well, LZ4 algorithm
tends to have a faster decompression (see http://code.google.com/p/lz4/
for full report)
Name Ratio C.speed D.speed
MB/s MB/s
LZ4 (r101) 2.084 422 1820
LZO 2.06 2.106 414 600
Thus, users who have mostly read (decompress) usage scenarious or mixed
workflow (writes with relatively high read ops number) will benefit from
using LZ4 compression backend.
Introduce compressing backend abstraction zcomp in order to support
multiple compression algorithms with the following set of operations:
.create
.destroy
.compress
.decompress
Schematically zram write() usually contains the following steps:
0) preparation (decompression of partioal IO, etc.)
1) lock buffer_lock mutex (protects meta compress buffers)
2) compress (using meta compress buffers)
3) alloc and map zs_pool object
4) copy compressed data (from meta compress buffers) to object allocated by 3)
5) free previous pool page, assign a new one
6) unlock buffer_lock mutex
As we can see, compressing buffers must remain untouched from 1) to 4),
because, otherwise, concurrent write() can overwrite data. At the same
time, zram_meta must be aware of a) specific compression algorithm memory
requirements and b) necessary locking to protect compression buffers. To
remove requirement a) new struct zcomp_strm introduced, which contains a
compress/decompress `buffer' and compression algorithm `private' part.
While struct zcomp implements zcomp_strm stream handling and locking and
removes requirement b) from zram meta. zcomp ->create() and ->destroy(),
respectively, allocate and deallocate algorithm specific zcomp_strm
`private' part.
Every zcomp has zcomp stream and mutex to protect its compression stream.
Stream usage semantics remains the same -- only one write can hold stream
lock and use its buffers. zcomp_strm_find() turns caller into exclusive
user of a stream (holding stream mutex until zram release stream), and
zcomp_strm_release() makes zcomp stream available (unlock the stream
mutex). Hence no concurrent write (compression) operations possible at
the moment.

Usage examples:
comp = zcomp_create(NAME) /* NAME e.g. "lzo" */
which initialises compressing backend if requested algorithm is supported.
Compress:
zstrm = zcomp_strm_find(comp)
zcomp_compress(comp, zstrm, src, &dst_len)
[..] /* copy compressed data */
zcomp_strm_release(comp, zstrm)
Decompress:
zcomp_decompress(comp, src, src_len, dst);
Free compessing backend and its zcomp stream:
zcomp_destroy(comp)
