ebaf9ab56d zram: switch to crypto compress 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
(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).

So performance-wise the numbers are quite similar.

Also update zcomp interface to be more aligned with the crypto API.

2aea8493d3 zram: rename zstrm find-release functions 
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().

da9556a236 zram: user per-cpu compression streams 
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.

                  4 streams        8 streams       per-cpu

75d8947a36 zram: pass gfp from zcomp frontend to backend 
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.

d93435c3fb zram: check comp algorithm availability earlier 
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

60a726e333 zram: propagate error to user 
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).

Add and document `comp_algorithm' device attribute.  This attribute allows
to show supported compression and currently selected compression
algorithms:

	cat /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
	[lzo] lz4

and change selected compression algorithm:
	echo lzo > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm

fe8eb122c8 zram: add set_max_streams knob 
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.

beca3ec71f zram: add multi stream functionality 
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.

9cc97529a1 zram: factor out single stream compression 
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.

e7e1ef439d zram: introduce compressing backend abstraction 
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.
