staging: zcache: updated and enable by default (via faux123)

staging : enable zcache by default if it is compiled
staging: zcache: support multiple clients, prep for KVM and RAMster

This is version 3 of an update to zcache, incorporating feedback from the list.
This patch adds support to the in-kernel transcendent memory ("tmem") code
and the zcache driver for multiple clients, which will be needed for both
RAMster and KVM support.  It also adds additional tmem callbacks to support
RAMster and corresponding no-op stubs in the zcache driver.  In v2, I've
also taken the liberty of adding some additional sysfs variables to
both surface information and allow policy control.  Those experimenting
with zcache should find them useful.  V3 clarifies some code walking
and declaring arrays.

staging: fix zcache building

zcache is only building tmem.c and not building zcache.c. To keep the
module name, zcache.c must be renamed if symbols from tmem.c are to
remain unexported.

This avoids tainting the kernel as if a proprietary module was loaded.
The kernel will still be tainted because this is a staging driver.

zcache: Use div_u64 for 64-bit division

xv_get_total_size_bytes returns a u64 value and it's used in a division.
This causes build failures in 32-bit architectures, as reported by Randy

staging: zcache: fix crash on high memory swap

zcache_put_page() was modified to pass page_address(page) instead of the
actual page structure. In combination with the function signature changes
to tmem_put() and zcache_pampd_create(), zcache_pampd_create() tries to
(re)derive the page structure from the virtual address.  However, if the
original page is a high memory page (or any unmapped page), this
virt_to_page() fails because the page_address() in zcache_put_page()
returned NULL.

This patch changes zcache_put_page() and zcache_get_page() to pass
the page structure instead of the page's virtual address, which
may or may not exist.

staging: zcache: fix cleancache crash

After commit c5f5c4db3938 ("staging: zcache: fix crash on high memory
swap") cleancache crashes on the first successful get.  This was caused
by a remaining virt_to_page() call in zcache_pampd_get_data_and_free()
that only gets run in the cleancache path.

The patch converts the virt_to_page() to struct page casting like was
done for other instances in c5f5c4db3938.

staging: zcache: fix crash on cpu remove

In the case that a cpu is taken offline before zcache_do_preload() is
ever called on the cpu, the per-cpu zcache_preloads structure will
be uninitialized.  In the CPU_DEAD case for zcache_cpu_notifier(),
kp->obj is not checked before calling kmem_cache_free() on it.
If it is NULL, a crash results.

This patch ensures that both kp->obj and kp->page are not NULL before
calling the respective free functions. In practice, just checking
one or the other should be sufficient since they are assigned together
in zcache_do_preload(), but I check both for safety.

staging: zcache: reduce tmem bucket lock contention

tmem uses hash buckets each with their own rbtree and lock to
quickly lookup tmem objects.  tmem has TMEM_HASH_BUCKETS (256)
buckets per pool.  However, because of the way the tmem_oid is
generated for frontswap pages, only 16 unique tmem_oids are being
generated, resulting in only 16 of the 256 buckets being used.
This cause high lock contention for the per bucket locks.

This patch changes SWIZ_BITS to include more bits of the offset.
The result is that all 256 hash buckets are potentially used resulting in a
95% drop in hash bucket lock contention.

staging: zcache: remove zcache_direct_reclaim_lock

zcache_do_preload() currently does a spin_trylock() on the
zcache_direct_reclaim_lock. Holding this lock intends to prevent
shrink_zcache_memory() from evicting zbud pages as a result
of a preload.

However, it also prevents two threads from
executing zcache_do_preload() at the same time.  The first
thread will obtain the lock and the second thread's spin_trylock()
will fail (an aborted preload) causing the page to be either lost
(cleancache) or pushed out to the swap device (frontswap). It
also doesn't ensure that the call to shrink_zcache_memory() is
on the same thread as the call to zcache_do_preload().

Additional, there is no need for this mechanism because all
zcache_do_preload() calls that come down from cleancache already
have PF_MEMALLOC set in the process flags which prevents
direct reclaim in the memory manager. If the zcache_do_preload()
call is done from the frontswap path, we _want_ reclaim to be
done (which it isn't right now).

This patch removes the zcache_direct_reclaim_lock and related
statistics in zcache.

staging: zcache: fix serialization bug in zv stats

In a multithreaded workload, the zv_curr_dist_counts
and zv_cumul_dist_counts statistics are being corrupted
because the increments and decrements in zv_create
and zv_free are not atomic.

This patch converts these statistics and their corresponding
increments/decrements/reads to atomic operations.

staging: zcache: Set SWIZ_BITS to 8 to reduce tmem bucket lock contention.

From: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com>

SWIZ_BITS > 8 results in a much larger number of "tmem_obj"
allocations, likely one per page-placed-in-frontswap.  The
tmem_obj is not huge (roughly 100 bytes), but it is large
enough to add a not-insignificant memory overhead to zcache.
The SWIZ_BITS=8  will get roughly the same lock contention
without the space wastage.

The effect of SWIZ_BITS can be thought of as "2^SWIZ_BITS is
the number of unique oids that be generated" (This concept is
limited to frontswap's use of tmem).

zcache: fix deadlock condition

I discovered this deadlock condition awhile ago working on RAMster
but it affects zcache as well.  The list spinlock must be
locked prior to the page spinlock and released after.  As
a result, the page copy must also be done while the locks are held.

Applies to 3.2.  Konrad, please push (via GregKH?)...
this is definitely a bug fix so need not be pushed during
a -rc0 window.
