Staging: zram: allow partial page operations

Commit 7b19b8d45b216ff3186f066b31937bdbde066f08 (zram: Prevent overflow
in logical block size) introduced ZRAM_LOGICAL_BLOCK_SIZE constant to
prevent overflow of logical block size on 64k page kernel.
However, the current implementation of zram only allow operation on block
of the same size as a page. That makes theorically legit 4k requests fail
on 64k page kernel.

This patch makes zram allow operation on partial pages. Basically, it
means we still do operations on full pages internally, but only copy the
relevent segments from/to the user memory.

Staging: zram: Replace mutex lock by a R/W semaphore

Currently, nothing protects zram table from concurrent access.
For instance, ZRAM_UNCOMPRESSED bit can be cleared by zram_free_page()
called from a concurrent write between the time ZRAM_UNCOMPRESSED has
been set and the time it is tested to unmap KM_USER0 in
zram_bvec_write(). This ultimately leads to kernel panic.

Also, a read request can occurs when the page has been freed by a
running write request and before it has been updated, leading to
zero filled block being incorrectly read and "Read before write"
error message.

This patch replace the current mutex by a rw_semaphore. It extends
the protection to zram table (currently, only compression buffers are
protected) and read requests (currently, only write requests are
protected).

staging: zram: fix zram locking

Currently init_lock only prevents concurrent execution of zram_init_device()
and zram_reset_device() but not zram_make_request() nor sysfs store functions.

This patch changes init_lock into a rw_semaphore. A write lock is taken by
init, reset and store functions, a read lock is taken by zram_make_request().
Also, avoids to release the lock before calling __zram_reset_device() for
cleaning after a failed init, thus preventing any concurrent task to see an
inconsistent state of zram.

staging: Add Snappy compression support to zram (alt)

Google's Snappy data compression library is a faster alternative to LZO,
optimized for x86-64. On compressible input it compresses ~2.5x faster than LZO
and decompresses ~1.5-2x faster than LZO. On incompressible input, it skips the
input at 100x faster than LZO and decompresses ~4x faster than LZO.
It is released under BSD license.
This is a kernel port from user space C++ code.
The current intended use is with zram (see next patch in series).

zram: Set initial disksize to some default value

Currently, we set initial disksize as 0, which forces user to write some
value to corresponding zram device's sysfs node, before the device can be
used. Now, we avoid this step by providing some default size initially.

To change the disksize, user must:
 - Reset disk.
	Ex: echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset
(NOTE: disksize is set to the default value after reset)
 - Set new disksize.
	Ex: echo $((256*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize

Fixes a bug introduced by commit c8f2f0db1 ("zram: Fix handling
of incompressible pages") which caused invalid memory references
during disk write. Invalid references could occur in two cases:
 - Incoming data expands on compression: In this case, reference was
made to kunmap()'ed bio page.
 - Partial (non PAGE_SIZE) write with incompressible data: In this
case, reference was made to a kfree()'ed buffer.

zram: Fix deadlock bug in partial read/write

commit 7e5a5104c6af709a8d97d5f4711e7c917761d464 upstream.

Now zram allocates new page with GFP_KERNEL in zram I/O path
if IO is partial. Unfortunately, It may cause deadlock with
reclaim path like below.

write_page from fs
fs_lock
allocation(GFP_KERNEL)
reclaim
pageout
				write_page from fs
				fs_lock <-- deadlock

This patch fixes it by using GFP_NOIO.  In read path, we
reorganize code flow so that kmap_atomic is called after the
GFP_NOIO allocation.

zram: force disksize setting before using zram

Now zram document syas "set disksize is optional"
but partly it's wrong. When you try to use zram firstly after
booting, you must set disksize, otherwise zram can't work because
zram gendisk's size is 0. But once you do it, you can use zram freely
after reset because reset doesn't reset to zero paradoxically.
So in this time, disksize setting is optional.:(
It's inconsitent for user behavior and not straightforward.

This patch forces always setting disksize firstly before using zram.
Yes. It changes current behavior so someone could complain when
he upgrades zram. Apparently it could be a problem if zram is mainline
but it still lives in staging so behavior could be changed for right
way to go. Let them excuse.

zram: give up lazy initialization of zram metadata

1) User of zram normally do mkfs.xxx or mkswap before using
   the zram block device(ex, normally, do it at booting time)
   It ends up allocating such metadata of zram before real usage so
   benefit of lazy initialzation would be mitigated.

2) Some user want to use zram when memory pressure is high.(ie, load zram
   dynamically, NOT booting time). It does make sense because people don't
   want to waste memory until memory pressure is high(ie, where zram is really
   helpful time). In this case, lazy initialzation could be failed easily
   because we will use GFP_NOIO instead of GFP_KERNEL for avoiding deadlock.
   So the benefit of lazy initialzation would be mitigated, too.

3) Metadata overhead is not critical and Nitin has a plan to diet it.
   4K : 12 byte(64bit machine) -> 64G : 192M so 0.3% isn't big overhead
   If insane user use such big zram device up to 20, it could consume 6% of ram
   but efficieny of zram will cover the waste.

So this patch gives up lazy initialization and instead we initialize metadata
at disksize setting time.

staging: zram: add Crypto API support

Date    Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:30:48 +0200

Current version of zram does not allow any substitution of a default
compression algorithm. Therefore, I decided to change the existing
implementation of page compression by adding Crypto API compability.

All direct calls to lzo1x compression/decompression methods are now
replaced by calls consistent with Crypto. Also, I removed "workmem"
field from struct zram_meta, as it was there for lzo1x purposes only
and is no longer needed. Finally, I added a set of functions required
by Crypto API to work properly.

In order to substitute the default algorithm (lzo), change the value
of zram.compressor module parameter to a proper name (e.g. lz4).

staging: zram: add per-cpu support to Crypto

Date	Tue, 30 Jul 2013 14:30:49 +0200

Since original zram code did not implement any per-cpu operations,
my previous patch (staging: zram: add Crypto API support) did not
include them either.

This patch complements the first one with per-cpu support for Crypto,
allocating tfms buffer separately for each online processor.
Changes are based on zswap and zcache per-cpu code.

Basic tests (concurrent writing several 10-40MB chunks to zram) performed
on an ARM-based EXYNOS4412 Quad-Core showed that per-cpu code provides
noticeable time saving, ranging between 30-40% for LZO and LZ4 compressors.
Sample data (LZO): writing 160MB, 40MB per thread took 0.60s with per-cpu
code included and approximately 0.80s without per-cpu support.

zram: use zram->lock to protect zram_free_page() in swap free notify path

zram_slot_free_notify() is free-running without any protection from
concurrent operations. So there are race conditions between
zram_bvec_read()/zram_bvec_write() and zram_slot_free_notify(),
and possible consequences include:
1) Trigger BUG_ON(!handle) on zram_bvec_write() side.
2) Access to freed pages on zram_bvec_read() side.
3) Break some fields (bad_compress, good_compress, pages_stored)
   in zram->stats if the swap layer makes concurrently call to
   zram_slot_free_notify().

So enhance zram_slot_free_notify() to acquire writer lock on zram->lock
before calling zram_free_page().
