mempolicy: alloc_pages_mpol() for NUMA policy without vma
Shrink shmem's stack usage by eliminating the pseudo-vma from its folio
allocation. alloc_pages_mpol(gfp, order, pol, ilx, nid) becomes the
principal actor for passing mempolicy choice down to __alloc_pages(),
rather than vma_alloc_folio(gfp, order, vma, addr, hugepage).
vma_alloc_folio() and alloc_pages() remain, but as wrappers around
alloc_pages_mpol(). alloc_pages_bulk_*() untouched, except to provide the
additional args to policy_nodemask(), which subsumes policy_node().
Cleanup throughout, cutting out some unhelpful "helpers".
It would all be much simpler without MPOL_INTERLEAVE, but that adds a
dynamic to the constant mpol: complicated by v3.6 commit 09c231cb8bfd
("tmpfs: distribute interleave better across nodes"), which added ino bias
to the interleave, hidden from mm/mempolicy.c until this commit.
Hence "ilx" throughout, the "interleave index". Originally I thought it
could be done just with nid, but that's wrong: the nodemask may come from
the shared policy layer below a shmem vma, or it may come from the task
layer above a shmem vma; and without the final nodemask then nodeid cannot
be decided. And how ilx is applied depends also on page order.
The interleave index is almost always irrelevant unless MPOL_INTERLEAVE:
with one exception in alloc_pages_mpol(), where the NO_INTERLEAVE_INDEX
passed down from vma-less alloc_pages() is also used as hint not to use
THP-style hugepage allocation - to avoid the overhead of a hugepage arg
(though I don't understand why we never just added a GFP bit for THP - if
it actually needs a different allocation strategy from other pages of the
same order). vma_alloc_folio() still carries its hugepage arg here, but
it is not used, and should be removed when agreed.
get_vma_policy() no longer allows a NULL vma: over time I believe we've
eradicated all the places which used to need it e.g. swapoff and madvise
used to pass NULL vma to read_swap_cache_async(), but now know the vma.

mm: zswap: shrink until can accept
This update addresses an issue with the zswap reclaim mechanism, which
hinders the efficient offloading of cold pages to disk, thereby
compromising the preservation of the LRU order and consequently
diminishing, if not inverting, its performance benefits.
The functioning of the zswap shrink worker was found to be inadequate, as
shown by basic benchmark test. For the test, a kernel build was utilized
as a reference, with its memory confined to 1G via a cgroup and a 5G swap
file provided. The results are presented below, these are averages of
three runs without the use of zswap:
real 46m26s
user 35m4s
sys 7m37s
With zswap (zbud) enabled and max_pool_percent set to 1 (in a 32G
system), the results changed to:
real 56m4s
user 35m13s
sys 8m43s
written_back_pages: 18
reject_reclaim_fail: 0
pool_limit_hit:1478
Besides the evident regression, one thing to notice from this data is the
extremely low number of written_back_pages and pool_limit_hit.
The pool_limit_hit counter, which is increased in zswap_frontswap_store
when zswap is completely full, doesn't account for a particular scenario:
once zswap hits his limit, zswap_pool_reached_full is set to true; with
this flag on, zswap_frontswap_store rejects pages if zswap is still above
the acceptance threshold. Once we include the rejections due to
zswap_pool_reached_full && !zswap_can_accept(), the number goes from 1478
to a significant 21578266.
Zswap is stuck in an undesirable state where it rejects pages because it's
above the acceptance threshold, yet fails to attempt memory reclaimation.
This happens because the shrink work is only queued when
zswap_frontswap_store detects that it's full and the work itself only
reclaims one page per run.
This state results in hot pages getting written directly to disk, while
cold ones remain memory, waiting only to be invalidated. The LRU order is
completely broken and zswap ends up being just an overhead without
providing any benefits.
This commit applies 2 changes: a) the shrink worker is set to reclaim
pages until the acceptance threshold is met and b) the task is also
enqueued when zswap is not full but still above the threshold.
Testing this suggested update showed much better numbers:
real 36m37s
user 35m8s
sys 9m32s
written_back_pages: 10459423
reject_reclaim_fail: 12896
pool_limit_hit: 75653

zswap: same-filled pages handling
Zswap is a cache which compresses the pages that are being swapped out
and stores them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
Experiments have shown that around 10-20% of pages stored in zswap are
same-filled pages (i.e. contents of the page are all same), but these
pages are handled as normal pages by compressing and allocating memory
in the pool.
This patch adds a check in zswap_frontswap_store() to identify
same-filled page before compression of the page. If the page is a
same-filled page, set zswap_entry.length to zero, save the same-filled
value and skip the compression of the page and alloction of memory in
zpool. In zswap_frontswap_load(), check if value of zswap_entry.length
is zero corresponding to the page to be loaded. If zswap_entry.length
is zero, fill the page with same-filled value. This saves the
decompression time during load.
On a ARM Quad Core 32-bit device with 1.5GB RAM by launching and
relaunching different applications, out of ~64000 pages stored in zswap,
~11000 pages were same-value filled pages (including zero-filled pages)
and ~9000 pages were zero-filled pages.
An average of 17% of pages(including zero-filled pages) in zswap are
same-value filled pages and 14% pages are zero-filled pages. An average
of 3% of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.
The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.
Baseline With patch % Improvement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*Zswap Store Time 26.5ms 18ms 32%
(of same value pages)
*Zswap Load Time
(of same value pages) 25.5ms 13ms 49%
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On Ubuntu PC with 2GB RAM, while executing kernel build and other test
scripts and running multimedia applications, out of 360000 pages stored
in zswap 78000(~22%) of pages were found to be same-value filled pages
(including zero-filled pages) and 64000(~17%) are zero-filled pages. So
an average of %5 of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.
The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.
Baseline With patch % Improvement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*Zswap Store Time 91ms 74ms 19%
(of same value pages)
*Zswap Load Time 50ms 7.5ms 85%
(of same value pages)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*The execution times may vary with test device used.

zswap: disable changing params if init fails
Add zswap_init_failed bool that prevents changing any of the module
params, if init_zswap() fails, and set zswap_enabled to false. Change
'enabled' param to a callback, and check zswap_init_failed before
allowing any change to 'enabled', 'zpool', or 'compressor' params.
Any driver that is built-in to the kernel will not be unloaded if its
init function returns error, and its module params remain accessible for
users to change via sysfs. Since zswap uses param callbacks, which
assume that zswap has been initialized, changing the zswap params after
a failed initialization will result in WARNING due to the param
callbacks expecting a pool to already exist. This prevents that by
immediately exiting any of the param callbacks if initialization failed.
This was reported here:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147004228125528&w=4
And fixes this WARNING:
[ 429.723476] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5140 at mm/zswap.c:503 __zswap_pool_current+0x56/0x60
The warning is just noise, and not serious. However, when init fails,
zswap frees all its percpu dstmem pages and its kmem cache. The kmem
cache might be serious, if kmem_cache_alloc(NULL, gfp) has problems; but
the percpu dstmem pages are definitely a problem, as they're used as
temporary buffer for compressed pages before copying into place in the
zpool.
If the user does get zswap enabled after an init failure, then zswap
will likely Oops on the first page it tries to compress (or worse, start
corrupting memory).

zswap: same-filled pages handling
Zswap is a cache which compresses the pages that are being swapped out
and stores them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
Experiments have shown that around 10-20% of pages stored in zswap are
same-filled pages (i.e. contents of the page are all same), but these
pages are handled as normal pages by compressing and allocating memory
in the pool.
This patch adds a check in zswap_frontswap_store() to identify
same-filled page before compression of the page. If the page is a
same-filled page, set zswap_entry.length to zero, save the same-filled
value and skip the compression of the page and alloction of memory in
zpool. In zswap_frontswap_load(), check if value of zswap_entry.length
is zero corresponding to the page to be loaded. If zswap_entry.length
is zero, fill the page with same-filled value. This saves the
decompression time during load.
On a ARM Quad Core 32-bit device with 1.5GB RAM by launching and
relaunching different applications, out of ~64000 pages stored in zswap,
~11000 pages were same-value filled pages (including zero-filled pages)
and ~9000 pages were zero-filled pages.
An average of 17% of pages(including zero-filled pages) in zswap are
same-value filled pages and 14% pages are zero-filled pages. An average
of 3% of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.
The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.

On Ubuntu PC with 2GB RAM, while executing kernel build and other test
scripts and running multimedia applications, out of 360000 pages stored
in zswap 78000(~22%) of pages were found to be same-value filled pages
(including zero-filled pages) and 64000(~17%) are zero-filled pages. So
an average of %5 of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.

zswap: shrink zswap pool based on memory pressure
Currently, we only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is
hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are
unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead
of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as
memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages).
This patch implements a memcg- and NUMA-aware shrinker for zswap, that is
initiated when there is memory pressure. The shrinker does not have any
parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a
per-memcg basis.
Furthermore, to make it more robust for many workloads and prevent
overshrinking (i.e evicting warm pages that might be refaulted into
memory), we build in the following heuristics:
* Estimate the number of warm pages residing in zswap, and attempt to
protect this region of the zswap LRU.
* Scale the number of freeable objects by an estimate of the memory
saving factor. The better zswap compresses the data, the fewer pages
we will evict to swap (as we will otherwise incur IO for relatively
small memory saving).
* During reclaim, if the shrinker encounters a page that is also being
brought into memory, the shrinker will cautiously terminate its
shrinking action, as this is a sign that it is touching the warmer
region of the zswap LRU.
As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.

zswap: memcontrol: implement zswap writeback disabling
During our experiment with zswap, we sometimes observe swap IOs due to
occasional zswap store failures and writebacks-to-swap. These swapping
IOs prevent many users who cannot tolerate swapping from adopting zswap to
save memory and improve performance where possible.
This patch adds the option to disable this behavior entirely: do not
writeback to backing swapping device when a zswap store attempt fail, and
do not write pages in the zswap pool back to the backing swap device (both
when the pool is full, and when the new zswap shrinker is called).
This new behavior can be opted-in/out on a per-cgroup basis via a new
cgroup file. By default, writebacks to swap device is enabled, which is
the previous behavior. Initially, writeback is enabled for the root
cgroup, and a newly created cgroup will inherit the current setting of its
parent.
Note that this is subtly different from setting memory.swap.max to 0, as
it still allows for pages to be stored in the zswap pool (which itself
consumes swap space in its current form).
This patch should be applied on top of the zswap shrinker series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231130194023.4102148-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/
as it also disables the zswap shrinker, a major source of zswap
writebacks.
For the most part, this feature is motivated by internal parties who
have already established their opinions regarding swapping - the
workloads that are highly sensitive to IO, and especially those who are
using servers with really slow disk performance (for instance, massive
but slow HDDs). For these folks, it's impossible to convince them to
even entertain zswap if swapping also comes as a packaged deal.
Writeback disabling is quite a useful feature in these situations - on
a mixed workloads deployment, they can disable writeback for the more
IO-sensitive workloads, and enable writeback for other background
workloads.
For instance, on a server with HDD, I allocate memories and populate
them with random values (so that zswap store will always fail), and
specify memory.high low enough to trigger reclaim. The time it takes
to allocate the memories and just read through it a couple of times
(doing silly things like computing the values' average etc.):
zswap.writeback disabled:
real 0m30.537s
user 0m23.687s
sys 0m6.637s
0 pages swapped in
0 pages swapped out
zswap.writeback enabled:
real 0m45.061s
user 0m24.310s
sys 0m8.892s
712686 pages swapped in
461093 pages swapped out
(the last two lines are from vmstat -s).

mm: zswap: add pool shrinking mechanism
Patch series "mm: zswap: move writeback LRU from zpool to zswap", v3.
This series aims to improve the zswap reclaim mechanism by reorganizing
the LRU management. In the current implementation, the LRU is maintained
within each zpool driver, resulting in duplicated code across the three
drivers. The proposed change consists in moving the LRU management from
the individual implementations up to the zswap layer.
The primary objective of this refactoring effort is to simplify the
codebase. By unifying the reclaim loop and consolidating LRU handling
within zswap, we can eliminate redundant code and improve
maintainability. Additionally, this change enables the reclamation of
stored pages in their actual LRU order. Presently, the zpool drivers
link backing pages in an LRU, causing compressed pages with different
LRU positions to be written back simultaneously.
The series consists of several patches. The first patch implements the
LRU and the reclaim loop in zswap, but it is not used yet because all
three driver implementations are marked as zpool_evictable.
The following three commits modify each zpool driver to be not
zpool_evictable, allowing the use of the reclaim loop in zswap.
As the drivers removed their shrink functions, the zpool interface is
then trimmed by removing zpool_evictable, zpool_ops, and zpool_shrink.
Finally, the code in zswap is further cleaned up by simplifying the
writeback function and removing the now unnecessary zswap_header.
This patch (of 7):
Each zpool driver (zbud, z3fold and zsmalloc) implements its own shrink
function, which is called from zpool_shrink. However, with this commit, a
unified shrink function is added to zswap. The ultimate goal is to
eliminate the need for zpool_shrink once all zpool implementations have
dropped their shrink code.
To ensure the functionality of each commit, this change focuses solely on
adding the mechanism itself. No modifications are made to the backends,
meaning that functionally, there are no immediate changes. The zswap
mechanism will only come into effect once the backends have removed their
shrink code. The subsequent commits will address the modifications needed
in the backends.

mm/zswap: global lru and shrinker shared by all zswap_pools
Patch series "mm/zswap: optimize for dynamic zswap_pools", v3.
Dynamic pool creation has been supported for a long time, which maybe not
used so much in practice. But with the per-memcg lru merged, the current
structure of zswap_pool's lru and shrinker become less optimal.
In the current structure, each zswap_pool has its own lru, shrinker and
shrink_work, but only the latest zswap_pool will be the current used.
1. When memory has pressure, all shrinkers of zswap_pools will try to
shrink its lru list, there is no order between them.
2. When zswap limit hit, only the last zswap_pool's shrink_work will
try to shrink its own lru, which is inefficient.
A more natural way is to have a global zswap lru shared between all
zswap_pools, and so is the shrinker. The code becomes much simpler too.
Another optimization is changing zswap_pool kref to percpu_ref, which will
be taken reference by every zswap entry. So the scalability is better.
Testing kernel build (32 threads) in tmpfs with memory.max=2GB. (zswap
shrinker and writeback enabled with one 50GB swapfile, on a 128 CPUs

This patch (of 3):
Dynamic zswap_pool creation may create/reuse to have multiple zswap_pools
in a list, only the first will be current used.
Each zswap_pool has its own lru and shrinker, which is not necessary and
has its problem:
1. When memory has pressure, all shrinker of zswap_pools will
try to shrink its own lru, there is no order between them.
2. When zswap limit hit, only the last zswap_pool's shrink_work
will try to shrink its lru list. The rationale here was to
try and empty the old pool first so that we can completely
drop it. However, since we only support exclusive loads now,
the LRU ordering should be entirely decided by the order of
stores, so the oldest entries on the LRU will naturally be
from the oldest pool.
Anyway, having a global lru and shrinker shared by all zswap_pools is
better and efficient.

zswap: same-filled pages handling
Zswap is a cache which compresses the pages that are being swapped out
and stores them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
Experiments have shown that around 10-20% of pages stored in zswap are
same-filled pages (i.e. contents of the page are all same), but these
pages are handled as normal pages by compressing and allocating memory
in the pool.
This patch adds a check in zswap_frontswap_store() to identify
same-filled page before compression of the page. If the page is a
same-filled page, set zswap_entry.length to zero, save the same-filled
value and skip the compression of the page and alloction of memory in
zpool. In zswap_frontswap_load(), check if value of zswap_entry.length
is zero corresponding to the page to be loaded. If zswap_entry.length
is zero, fill the page with same-filled value. This saves the
decompression time during load.
On a ARM Quad Core 32-bit device with 1.5GB RAM by launching and
relaunching different applications, out of ~64000 pages stored in zswap,
~11000 pages were same-value filled pages (including zero-filled pages)
and ~9000 pages were zero-filled pages.
An average of 17% of pages(including zero-filled pages) in zswap are
same-value filled pages and 14% pages are zero-filled pages. An average
of 3% of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.
The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.

*Zswap Store Time 26.5ms 18ms 32%

*Zswap Load Time

On Ubuntu PC with 2GB RAM, while executing kernel build and other test
scripts and running multimedia applications, out of 360000 pages stored
in zswap 78000(~22%) of pages were found to be same-value filled pages
(including zero-filled pages) and 64000(~17%) are zero-filled pages. So
an average of %5 of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.

mm: zswap: add pool shrinking mechanism
Patch series "mm: zswap: move writeback LRU from zpool to zswap", v3.
This series aims to improve the zswap reclaim mechanism by reorganizing
the LRU management. In the current implementation, the LRU is maintained
within each zpool driver, resulting in duplicated code across the three
drivers. The proposed change consists in moving the LRU management from
the individual implementations up to the zswap layer.
The primary objective of this refactoring effort is to simplify the
codebase. By unifying the reclaim loop and consolidating LRU handling
within zswap, we can eliminate redundant code and improve
maintainability. Additionally, this change enables the reclamation of
stored pages in their actual LRU order. Presently, the zpool drivers
link backing pages in an LRU, causing compressed pages with different
LRU positions to be written back simultaneously.
The series consists of several patches. The first patch implements the
LRU and the reclaim loop in zswap, but it is not used yet because all
three driver implementations are marked as zpool_evictable.
The following three commits modify each zpool driver to be not
zpool_evictable, allowing the use of the reclaim loop in zswap.
As the drivers removed their shrink functions, the zpool interface is
then trimmed by removing zpool_evictable, zpool_ops, and zpool_shrink.
Finally, the code in zswap is further cleaned up by simplifying the
writeback function and removing the now unnecessary zswap_header.
This patch (of 7):
Each zpool driver (zbud, z3fold and zsmalloc) implements its own shrink
function, which is called from zpool_shrink. However, with this commit, a
unified shrink function is added to zswap. The ultimate goal is to
eliminate the need for zpool_shrink once all zpool implementations have
dropped their shrink code.
To ensure the functionality of each commit, this change focuses solely on
adding the mechanism itself. No modifications are made to the backends,
meaning that functionally, there are no immediate changes. The zswap
mechanism will only come into effect once the backends have removed their
shrink code. The subsequent commits will address the modifications needed
in the backends.

zswap: same-filled pages handling
Zswap is a cache which compresses the pages that are being swapped out
and stores them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
Experiments have shown that around 10-20% of pages stored in zswap are
same-filled pages (i.e. contents of the page are all same), but these
pages are handled as normal pages by compressing and allocating memory
in the pool.
This patch adds a check in zswap_frontswap_store() to identify
same-filled page before compression of the page. If the page is a
same-filled page, set zswap_entry.length to zero, save the same-filled
value and skip the compression of the page and alloction of memory in
zpool. In zswap_frontswap_load(), check if value of zswap_entry.length
is zero corresponding to the page to be loaded. If zswap_entry.length
is zero, fill the page with same-filled value. This saves the
decompression time during load.
On a ARM Quad Core 32-bit device with 1.5GB RAM by launching and
relaunching different applications, out of ~64000 pages stored in zswap,
~11000 pages were same-value filled pages (including zero-filled pages)
and ~9000 pages were zero-filled pages.
An average of 17% of pages(including zero-filled pages) in zswap are
same-value filled pages and 14% pages are zero-filled pages. An average
of 3% of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.
The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.
Baseline With patch % Improvement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*Zswap Store Time 26.5ms 18ms 32%
(of same value pages)
*Zswap Load Time
(of same value pages) 25.5ms 13ms 49%
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On Ubuntu PC with 2GB RAM, while executing kernel build and other test
scripts and running multimedia applications, out of 360000 pages stored
in zswap 78000(~22%) of pages were found to be same-value filled pages
(including zero-filled pages) and 64000(~17%) are zero-filled pages. So
an average of %5 of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.
The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.
Baseline With patch % Improvement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*Zswap Store Time 91ms 74ms 19%
(of same value pages)
*Zswap Load Time 50ms 7.5ms 85%

-----------------------------------------------------------------
*The execution times may vary with test device used.

zswap: disable changing params if init fails
Add zswap_init_failed bool that prevents changing any of the module
params, if init_zswap() fails, and set zswap_enabled to false. Change
'enabled' param to a callback, and check zswap_init_failed before
allowing any change to 'enabled', 'zpool', or 'compressor' params.
Any driver that is built-in to the kernel will not be unloaded if its
init function returns error, and its module params remain accessible for
users to change via sysfs. Since zswap uses param callbacks, which
assume that zswap has been initialized, changing the zswap params after
a failed initialization will result in WARNING due to the param
callbacks expecting a pool to already exist. This prevents that by
immediately exiting any of the param callbacks if initialization failed.
This was reported here:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147004228125528&w=4
And fixes this WARNING:
[ 429.723476] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5140 at mm/zswap.c:503 __zswap_pool_current+0x56/0x60
The warning is just noise, and not serious. However, when init fails,
zswap frees all its percpu dstmem pages and its kmem cache. The kmem
cache might be serious, if kmem_cache_alloc(NULL, gfp) has problems; but
the percpu dstmem pages are definitely a problem, as they're used as
temporary buffer for compressed pages before copying into place in the
zpool.
If the user does get zswap enabled after an init failure, then zswap
will likely Oops on the first page it tries to compress (or worse, start
corrupting memory).
Fixes: 90b0fc26d5db ("zswap: change zpool/compressor at runtime")

zswap: shrink zswap pool based on memory pressure
Currently, we only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is
hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are
unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead
of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as
memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages).
This patch implements a memcg- and NUMA-aware shrinker for zswap, that is
initiated when there is memory pressure. The shrinker does not have any
parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a
per-memcg basis.
Furthermore, to make it more robust for many workloads and prevent
overshrinking (i.e evicting warm pages that might be refaulted into
memory), we build in the following heuristics:
* Estimate the number of warm pages residing in zswap, and attempt to
protect this region of the zswap LRU.
* Scale the number of freeable objects by an estimate of the memory
saving factor. The better zswap compresses the data, the fewer pages
we will evict to swap (as we will otherwise incur IO for relatively
small memory saving).
* During reclaim, if the shrinker encounters a page that is also being
brought into memory, the shrinker will cautiously terminate its
shrinking action, as this is a sign that it is touching the warmer
region of the zswap LRU.
As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.

zswap: shrink zswap pool based on memory pressure
Currently, we only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is
hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are
unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead
of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as
memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages).
This patch implements a memcg- and NUMA-aware shrinker for zswap, that is
initiated when there is memory pressure. The shrinker does not have any
parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a
per-memcg basis.
Furthermore, to make it more robust for many workloads and prevent
overshrinking (i.e evicting warm pages that might be refaulted into
memory), we build in the following heuristics:
* Estimate the number of warm pages residing in zswap, and attempt to
protect this region of the zswap LRU.
* Scale the number of freeable objects by an estimate of the memory
saving factor. The better zswap compresses the data, the fewer pages
we will evict to swap (as we will otherwise incur IO for relatively
small memory saving).
* During reclaim, if the shrinker encounters a page that is also being
brought into memory, the shrinker will cautiously terminate its
shrinking action, as this is a sign that it is touching the warmer
region of the zswap LRU.
As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.

mm/zswap: global lru and shrinker shared by all zswap_pools
Patch series "mm/zswap: optimize for dynamic zswap_pools", v3.
Dynamic pool creation has been supported for a long time, which maybe not
used so much in practice. But with the per-memcg lru merged, the current
structure of zswap_pool's lru and shrinker become less optimal.
In the current structure, each zswap_pool has its own lru, shrinker and
shrink_work, but only the latest zswap_pool will be the current used.
1. When memory has pressure, all shrinkers of zswap_pools will try to
shrink its lru list, there is no order between them.
2. When zswap limit hit, only the last zswap_pool's shrink_work will
try to shrink its own lru, which is inefficient.
A more natural way is to have a global zswap lru shared between all
zswap_pools, and so is the shrinker. The code becomes much simpler too.
Another optimization is changing zswap_pool kref to percpu_ref, which will
be taken reference by every zswap entry. So the scalability is better.
Testing kernel build (32 threads) in tmpfs with memory.max=2GB. (zswap
shrinker and writeback enabled with one 50GB swapfile, on a 128 CPUs
x86-64 machine, below is the average of 5 runs)
mm-unstable zswap-global-lru
real 63.20 63.12
user 1061.75 1062.95
sys 268.74 264.44
This patch (of 3):
Dynamic zswap_pool creation may create/reuse to have multiple zswap_pools
in a list, only the first will be current used.
Each zswap_pool has its own lru and shrinker, which is not necessary and
has its problem:
1. When memory has pressure, all shrinker of zswap_pools will
try to shrink its own lru, there is no order between them.
2. When zswap limit hit, only the last zswap_pool's shrink_work
will try to shrink its lru list. The rationale here was to
try and empty the old pool first so that we can completely
drop it. However, since we only support exclusive loads now,
the LRU ordering should be entirely decided by the order of
stores, so the oldest entries on the LRU will naturally be
from the oldest pool.
Anyway, having a global lru and shrinker shared by all zswap_pools is
better and efficient.

zswap: same-filled pages handling
Zswap is a cache which compresses the pages that are being swapped out
and stores them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
Experiments have shown that around 10-20% of pages stored in zswap are
same-filled pages (i.e. contents of the page are all same), but these
pages are handled as normal pages by compressing and allocating memory
in the pool.
This patch adds a check in zswap_frontswap_store() to identify
same-filled page before compression of the page. If the page is a
same-filled page, set zswap_entry.length to zero, save the same-filled
value and skip the compression of the page and alloction of memory in
zpool. In zswap_frontswap_load(), check if value of zswap_entry.length
is zero corresponding to the page to be loaded. If zswap_entry.length
is zero, fill the page with same-filled value. This saves the
decompression time during load.
On a ARM Quad Core 32-bit device with 1.5GB RAM by launching and
relaunching different applications, out of ~64000 pages stored in zswap,
~11000 pages were same-value filled pages (including zero-filled pages)
and ~9000 pages were zero-filled pages.
An average of 17% of pages(including zero-filled pages) in zswap are
same-value filled pages and 14% pages are zero-filled pages. An average
of 3% of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.
The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.
Baseline With patch % Improvement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*Zswap Store Time 26.5ms 18ms 32%
(of same value pages)
*Zswap Load Time
(of same value pages) 25.5ms 13ms 49%
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On Ubuntu PC with 2GB RAM, while executing kernel build and other test
scripts and running multimedia applications, out of 360000 pages stored
in zswap 78000(~22%) of pages were found to be same-value filled pages
(including zero-filled pages) and 64000(~17%) are zero-filled pages. So
an average of %5 of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.
The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.

*Zswap Store Time 91ms 74ms 19%

*Zswap Load Time 50ms 7.5ms 85%

mm/zswap: add more comments in shrink_memcg_cb()
Patch series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap lru list", v2.
This series is motivated when observe the zswap lru list shrinking, noted
there are some unexpected cases in zswap_writeback_entry().
bpftrace -e 'kr:zswap_writeback_entry {@[(int32)retval]=count()}'
There are some -ENOMEM because when the swap entry is freed to per-cpu
swap pool, it doesn't invalidate/drop zswap entry. Then the shrinker
encounter these trashy zswap entries, it can't be reclaimed and return
-ENOMEM.
So move the invalidation ahead to when swap entry freed to the per-cpu
swap pool, since there is no any benefit to leave trashy zswap entries on
the zswap tree and lru list.
Another case is -EEXIST, which is seen more in the case of
!zswap_exclusive_loads_enabled, in which case the swapin folio will leave
compressed copy on the tree and lru list. And it can't be reclaimed until
the folio is removed from swapcache.
Changing to zswap_exclusive_loads_enabled mode will invalidate when folio
swapin, which has its own drawback if that folio is still clean in
swapcache and swapout again, we need to compress it again. Please see the
commit for details on why we choose exclusive load as the default for
zswap.
Another optimization for -EEXIST is that we add LRU_STOP to support
terminating the shrinking process to avoid evicting warmer region.
Testing using kernel build in tmpfs, one 50GB swapfile and
zswap shrinker_enabled, with memory.max set to 2GB.
mm-unstable zswap-optimize
real 63.90s 63.25s
user 1064.05s 1063.40s
sys 292.32s 270.94s
The main optimization is in sys cpu, about 7% improvement.
This patch (of 6):
Add more comments in shrink_memcg_cb() to describe the deref dance which
is implemented to fix race problem between lru writeback and swapoff, and
the reason why we rotate the entry at the beginning.
Also fix the stale comments in zswap_writeback_entry(), and add more
comments to state that we only deref the tree after we get the swapcache
reference.

Currently, we only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is
hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are
unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead
of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as
memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages).
This patch implements a memcg- and NUMA-aware shrinker for zswap, that is
initiated when there is memory pressure. The shrinker does not have any
parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a
per-memcg basis.
Furthermore, to make it more robust for many workloads and prevent
overshrinking (i.e evicting warm pages that might be refaulted into
memory), we build in the following heuristics:
* Estimate the number of warm pages residing in zswap, and attempt to
protect this region of the zswap LRU.
* Scale the number of freeable objects by an estimate of the memory
saving factor. The better zswap compresses the data, the fewer pages
we will evict to swap (as we will otherwise incur IO for relatively
small memory saving).
* During reclaim, if the shrinker encounters a page that is also being
brought into memory, the shrinker will cautiously terminate its
shrinking action, as this is a sign that it is touching the warmer
region of the zswap LRU.
As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.

zswap: memcontrol: implement zswap writeback disabling
During our experiment with zswap, we sometimes observe swap IOs due to
occasional zswap store failures and writebacks-to-swap. These swapping
IOs prevent many users who cannot tolerate swapping from adopting zswap to
save memory and improve performance where possible.
This patch adds the option to disable this behavior entirely: do not
writeback to backing swapping device when a zswap store attempt fail, and
do not write pages in the zswap pool back to the backing swap device (both
when the pool is full, and when the new zswap shrinker is called).
This new behavior can be opted-in/out on a per-cgroup basis via a new
cgroup file. By default, writebacks to swap device is enabled, which is
the previous behavior. Initially, writeback is enabled for the root
cgroup, and a newly created cgroup will inherit the current setting of its
parent.
Note that this is subtly different from setting memory.swap.max to 0, as
it still allows for pages to be stored in the zswap pool (which itself
consumes swap space in its current form).
This patch should be applied on top of the zswap shrinker series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231130194023.4102148-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/
as it also disables the zswap shrinker, a major source of zswap
writebacks.
For the most part, this feature is motivated by internal parties who
have already established their opinions regarding swapping - the
workloads that are highly sensitive to IO, and especially those who are
using servers with really slow disk performance (for instance, massive
but slow HDDs). For these folks, it's impossible to convince them to
even entertain zswap if swapping also comes as a packaged deal.
Writeback disabling is quite a useful feature in these situations - on
a mixed workloads deployment, they can disable writeback for the more
IO-sensitive workloads, and enable writeback for other background
workloads.
For instance, on a server with HDD, I allocate memories and populate
them with random values (so that zswap store will always fail), and
specify memory.high low enough to trigger reclaim. The time it takes
to allocate the memories and just read through it a couple of times
(doing silly things like computing the values' average etc.):
zswap.writeback disabled:
real 0m30.537s
user 0m23.687s
sys 0m6.637s
0 pages swapped in
0 pages swapped out
zswap.writeback enabled:
real 0m45.061s
user 0m24.310s
sys 0m8.892s
712686 pages swapped in
461093 pages swapped out
(the last two lines are from vmstat -s).

zswap: shrink zswap pool based on memory pressure
Currently, we only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is
hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are
unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead
of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as
memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages).
This patch implements a memcg- and NUMA-aware shrinker for zswap, that is
initiated when there is memory pressure. The shrinker does not have any
parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a
per-memcg basis.
Furthermore, to make it more robust for many workloads and prevent
overshrinking (i.e evicting warm pages that might be refaulted into
memory), we build in the following heuristics:
* Estimate the number of warm pages residing in zswap, and attempt to
protect this region of the zswap LRU.
* Scale the number of freeable objects by an estimate of the memory
saving factor. The better zswap compresses the data, the fewer pages
we will evict to swap (as we will otherwise incur IO for relatively
small memory saving).
* During reclaim, if the shrinker encounters a page that is also being
brought into memory, the shrinker will cautiously terminate its
shrinking action, as this is a sign that it is touching the warmer
region of the zswap LRU.
As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.

zswap: memcontrol: implement zswap writeback disabling
During our experiment with zswap, we sometimes observe swap IOs due to
occasional zswap store failures and writebacks-to-swap. These swapping
IOs prevent many users who cannot tolerate swapping from adopting zswap to
save memory and improve performance where possible.
This patch adds the option to disable this behavior entirely: do not
writeback to backing swapping device when a zswap store attempt fail, and
do not write pages in the zswap pool back to the backing swap device (both
when the pool is full, and when the new zswap shrinker is called).
This new behavior can be opted-in/out on a per-cgroup basis via a new
cgroup file. By default, writebacks to swap device is enabled, which is
the previous behavior. Initially, writeback is enabled for the root
cgroup, and a newly created cgroup will inherit the current setting of its
parent.
Note that this is subtly different from setting memory.swap.max to 0, as
it still allows for pages to be stored in the zswap pool (which itself
consumes swap space in its current form).
This patch should be applied on top of the zswap shrinker series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231130194023.4102148-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/
as it also disables the zswap shrinker, a major source of zswap
writebacks.
For the most part, this feature is motivated by internal parties who
have already established their opinions regarding swapping - the
workloads that are highly sensitive to IO, and especially those who are
using servers with really slow disk performance (for instance, massive
but slow HDDs). For these folks, it's impossible to convince them to
even entertain zswap if swapping also comes as a packaged deal.
Writeback disabling is quite a useful feature in these situations - on
a mixed workloads deployment, they can disable writeback for the more
IO-sensitive workloads, and enable writeback for other background
workloads.
For instance, on a server with HDD, I allocate memories and populate
them with random values (so that zswap store will always fail), and
specify memory.high low enough to trigger reclaim. The time it takes
to allocate the memories and just read through it a couple of times
(doing silly things like computing the values' average etc.):
zswap.writeback disabled:
real 0m30.537s
user 0m23.687s
sys 0m6.637s
0 pages swapped in
0 pages swapped out
zswap.writeback enabled:
real 0m45.061s
user 0m24.310s
sys 0m8.892s
712686 pages swapped in
461093 pages swapped out
(the last two lines are from vmstat -s).

# ifdef CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM
mm: memcg: restore subtree stats flushing
Stats flushing for memcg currently follows the following rules:
- Always flush the entire memcg hierarchy (i.e. flush the root).
- Only one flusher is allowed at a time. If someone else tries to flush
concurrently, they skip and return immediately.
- A periodic flusher flushes all the stats every 2 seconds.
The reason this approach is followed is because all flushes are serialized
by a global rstat spinlock. On the memcg side, flushing is invoked from
userspace reads as well as in-kernel flushers (e.g. reclaim, refault,
etc). This approach aims to avoid serializing all flushers on the global
lock, which can cause a significant performance hit under high
concurrency.
This approach has the following problems:
- Occasionally a userspace read of the stats of a non-root cgroup will
be too expensive as it has to flush the entire hierarchy [1].
- Sometimes the stats accuracy are compromised if there is an ongoing
flush, and we skip and return before the subtree of interest is
actually flushed, yielding stale stats (by up to 2s due to periodic
flushing). This is more visible when reading stats from userspace,
but can also affect in-kernel flushers.
The latter problem is particulary a concern when userspace reads stats
after an event occurs, but gets stats from before the event. Examples:
- When memory usage / pressure spikes, a userspace OOM handler may look
at the stats of different memcgs to select a victim based on various
heuristics (e.g. how much private memory will be freed by killing
this). Reading stale stats from before the usage spike in this case
may cause a wrongful OOM kill.
- A proactive reclaimer may read the stats after writing to
memory.reclaim to measure the success of the reclaim operation. Stale
stats from before reclaim may give a false negative.
- Reading the stats of a parent and a child memcg may be inconsistent
(child larger than parent), if the flush doesn't happen when the
parent is read, but happens when the child is read.
As for in-kernel flushers, they will occasionally get stale stats. No
regressions are currently known from this, but if there are regressions,
they would be very difficult to debug and link to the source of the
problem.
This patch aims to fix these problems by restoring subtree flushing, and
removing the unified/coalesced flushing logic that skips flushing if there
is an ongoing flush. This change would introduce a significant regression
with global stats flushing thresholds. With per-memcg stats flushing
thresholds, this seems to perform really well. The thresholds protect the
underlying lock from unnecessary contention.
This patch was tested in two ways to ensure the latency of flushing is
up to par, on a machine with 384 cpus:
- A synthetic test with 5000 concurrent workers in 500 cgroups doing
allocations and reclaim, as well as 1000 readers for memory.stat
(variation of [2]). No regressions were noticed in the total runtime.
Note that significant regressions in this test are observed with
global stats thresholds, but not with per-memcg thresholds.
- A synthetic stress test for concurrently reading memcg stats while
memory allocation/freeing workers are running in the background,
provided by Wei Xu [3]. With 250k threads reading the stats every
100ms in 50k cgroups, 99.9% of reads take <= 50us. Less than 0.01%
of reads take more than 1ms, and no reads take more than 100ms.

zswap: shrink zswap pool based on memory pressure
Currently, we only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is

unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead

This patch implements a memcg- and NUMA-aware shrinker for zswap, that is
initiated when there is memory pressure. The shrinker does not have any
parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a
per-memcg basis.
Furthermore, to make it more robust for many workloads and prevent
overshrinking (i.e evicting warm pages that might be refaulted into
memory), we build in the following heuristics:
* Estimate the number of warm pages residing in zswap, and attempt to
protect this region of the zswap LRU.
* Scale the number of freeable objects by an estimate of the memory
saving factor. The better zswap compresses the data, the fewer pages
we will evict to swap (as we will otherwise incur IO for relatively
small memory saving).
* During reclaim, if the shrinker encounters a page that is also being
brought into memory, the shrinker will cautiously terminate its
shrinking action, as this is a sign that it is touching the warmer
region of the zswap LRU.
As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.

mm/zswap: global lru and shrinker shared by all zswap_pools
Patch series "mm/zswap: optimize for dynamic zswap_pools", v3.
Dynamic pool creation has been supported for a long time, which maybe not
used so much in practice. But with the per-memcg lru merged, the current
structure of zswap_pool's lru and shrinker become less optimal.
In the current structure, each zswap_pool has its own lru, shrinker and
shrink_work, but only the latest zswap_pool will be the current used.
1. When memory has pressure, all shrinkers of zswap_pools will try to
shrink its lru list, there is no order between them.
2. When zswap limit hit, only the last zswap_pool's shrink_work will
try to shrink its own lru, which is inefficient.
A more natural way is to have a global zswap lru shared between all
zswap_pools, and so is the shrinker. The code becomes much simpler too.
Another optimization is changing zswap_pool kref to percpu_ref, which will
be taken reference by every zswap entry. So the scalability is better.
Testing kernel build (32 threads) in tmpfs with memory.max=2GB. (zswap
shrinker and writeback enabled with one 50GB swapfile, on a 128 CPUs
x86-64 machine, below is the average of 5 runs)

This patch (of 3):
Dynamic zswap_pool creation may create/reuse to have multiple zswap_pools
in a list, only the first will be current used.
Each zswap_pool has its own lru and shrinker, which is not necessary and
has its problem:
1. When memory has pressure, all shrinker of zswap_pools will
try to shrink its own lru, there is no order between them.
2. When zswap limit hit, only the last zswap_pool's shrink_work
will try to shrink its lru list. The rationale here was to
try and empty the old pool first so that we can completely
drop it. However, since we only support exclusive loads now,
the LRU ordering should be entirely decided by the order of
stores, so the oldest entries on the LRU will naturally be
from the oldest pool.
Anyway, having a global lru and shrinker shared by all zswap_pools is
better and efficient.

zswap: shrink zswap pool based on memory pressure
Currently, we only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is
hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are
unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead
of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as
memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages).
This patch implements a memcg- and NUMA-aware shrinker for zswap, that is
initiated when there is memory pressure. The shrinker does not have any
parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a
per-memcg basis.
Furthermore, to make it more robust for many workloads and prevent
overshrinking (i.e evicting warm pages that might be refaulted into
memory), we build in the following heuristics:
* Estimate the number of warm pages residing in zswap, and attempt to
protect this region of the zswap LRU.
* Scale the number of freeable objects by an estimate of the memory
saving factor. The better zswap compresses the data, the fewer pages
we will evict to swap (as we will otherwise incur IO for relatively
small memory saving).
* During reclaim, if the shrinker encounters a page that is also being
brought into memory, the shrinker will cautiously terminate its
shrinking action, as this is a sign that it is touching the warmer
region of the zswap LRU.
As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.

mm/zswap: global lru and shrinker shared by all zswap_pools
Patch series "mm/zswap: optimize for dynamic zswap_pools", v3.
Dynamic pool creation has been supported for a long time, which maybe not
used so much in practice. But with the per-memcg lru merged, the current
structure of zswap_pool's lru and shrinker become less optimal.
In the current structure, each zswap_pool has its own lru, shrinker and
shrink_work, but only the latest zswap_pool will be the current used.
1. When memory has pressure, all shrinkers of zswap_pools will try to
shrink its lru list, there is no order between them.
2. When zswap limit hit, only the last zswap_pool's shrink_work will
try to shrink its own lru, which is inefficient.
A more natural way is to have a global zswap lru shared between all
zswap_pools, and so is the shrinker. The code becomes much simpler too.
Another optimization is changing zswap_pool kref to percpu_ref, which will
be taken reference by every zswap entry. So the scalability is better.
Testing kernel build (32 threads) in tmpfs with memory.max=2GB. (zswap
shrinker and writeback enabled with one 50GB swapfile, on a 128 CPUs
x86-64 machine, below is the average of 5 runs)

real 63.20 63.12

sys 268.74 264.44
This patch (of 3):
Dynamic zswap_pool creation may create/reuse to have multiple zswap_pools
in a list, only the first will be current used.
Each zswap_pool has its own lru and shrinker, which is not necessary and
has its problem:
1. When memory has pressure, all shrinker of zswap_pools will
try to shrink its own lru, there is no order between them.
2. When zswap limit hit, only the last zswap_pool's shrink_work
will try to shrink its lru list. The rationale here was to
try and empty the old pool first so that we can completely
drop it. However, since we only support exclusive loads now,
the LRU ordering should be entirely decided by the order of
stores, so the oldest entries on the LRU will naturally be
from the oldest pool.
Anyway, having a global lru and shrinker shared by all zswap_pools is
better and efficient.

zswap: shrink zswap pool based on memory pressure
Currently, we only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is
hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are
unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead
of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as
memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages).
This patch implements a memcg- and NUMA-aware shrinker for zswap, that is
initiated when there is memory pressure. The shrinker does not have any
parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a
per-memcg basis.
Furthermore, to make it more robust for many workloads and prevent
overshrinking (i.e evicting warm pages that might be refaulted into
memory), we build in the following heuristics:
* Estimate the number of warm pages residing in zswap, and attempt to
protect this region of the zswap LRU.
* Scale the number of freeable objects by an estimate of the memory
saving factor. The better zswap compresses the data, the fewer pages
we will evict to swap (as we will otherwise incur IO for relatively
small memory saving).
* During reclaim, if the shrinker encounters a page that is also being
brought into memory, the shrinker will cautiously terminate its
shrinking action, as this is a sign that it is touching the warmer
region of the zswap LRU.
As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.

zswap: memcontrol: implement zswap writeback disabling
During our experiment with zswap, we sometimes observe swap IOs due to
occasional zswap store failures and writebacks-to-swap. These swapping
IOs prevent many users who cannot tolerate swapping from adopting zswap to
save memory and improve performance where possible.
This patch adds the option to disable this behavior entirely: do not
writeback to backing swapping device when a zswap store attempt fail, and
do not write pages in the zswap pool back to the backing swap device (both
when the pool is full, and when the new zswap shrinker is called).
This new behavior can be opted-in/out on a per-cgroup basis via a new
cgroup file. By default, writebacks to swap device is enabled, which is
the previous behavior. Initially, writeback is enabled for the root
cgroup, and a newly created cgroup will inherit the current setting of its
parent.
Note that this is subtly different from setting memory.swap.max to 0, as
it still allows for pages to be stored in the zswap pool (which itself
consumes swap space in its current form).
This patch should be applied on top of the zswap shrinker series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231130194023.4102148-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/
as it also disables the zswap shrinker, a major source of zswap
writebacks.
For the most part, this feature is motivated by internal parties who
have already established their opinions regarding swapping - the
workloads that are highly sensitive to IO, and especially those who are
using servers with really slow disk performance (for instance, massive
but slow HDDs). For these folks, it's impossible to convince them to
even entertain zswap if swapping also comes as a packaged deal.
Writeback disabling is quite a useful feature in these situations - on
a mixed workloads deployment, they can disable writeback for the more
IO-sensitive workloads, and enable writeback for other background
workloads.
For instance, on a server with HDD, I allocate memories and populate
them with random values (so that zswap store will always fail), and
specify memory.high low enough to trigger reclaim. The time it takes
to allocate the memories and just read through it a couple of times
(doing silly things like computing the values' average etc.):
zswap.writeback disabled:
real 0m30.537s
user 0m23.687s
sys 0m6.637s
0 pages swapped in
0 pages swapped out
zswap.writeback enabled:
real 0m45.061s
user 0m24.310s
sys 0m8.892s
712686 pages swapped in
461093 pages swapped out
(the last two lines are from vmstat -s).

mm: zswap: add pool shrinking mechanism
Patch series "mm: zswap: move writeback LRU from zpool to zswap", v3.
This series aims to improve the zswap reclaim mechanism by reorganizing
the LRU management. In the current implementation, the LRU is maintained
within each zpool driver, resulting in duplicated code across the three
drivers. The proposed change consists in moving the LRU management from
the individual implementations up to the zswap layer.
The primary objective of this refactoring effort is to simplify the
codebase. By unifying the reclaim loop and consolidating LRU handling
within zswap, we can eliminate redundant code and improve
maintainability. Additionally, this change enables the reclamation of
stored pages in their actual LRU order. Presently, the zpool drivers
link backing pages in an LRU, causing compressed pages with different
LRU positions to be written back simultaneously.
The series consists of several patches. The first patch implements the
LRU and the reclaim loop in zswap, but it is not used yet because all
three driver implementations are marked as zpool_evictable.
The following three commits modify each zpool driver to be not
zpool_evictable, allowing the use of the reclaim loop in zswap.
As the drivers removed their shrink functions, the zpool interface is
then trimmed by removing zpool_evictable, zpool_ops, and zpool_shrink.
Finally, the code in zswap is further cleaned up by simplifying the
writeback function and removing the now unnecessary zswap_header.
This patch (of 7):
Each zpool driver (zbud, z3fold and zsmalloc) implements its own shrink
function, which is called from zpool_shrink. However, with this commit, a
unified shrink function is added to zswap. The ultimate goal is to
eliminate the need for zpool_shrink once all zpool implementations have
dropped their shrink code.
To ensure the functionality of each commit, this change focuses solely on
adding the mechanism itself. No modifications are made to the backends,
meaning that functionally, there are no immediate changes. The zswap
mechanism will only come into effect once the backends have removed their
shrink code. The subsequent commits will address the modifications needed
in the backends.

mm: zswap: shrink until can accept
This update addresses an issue with the zswap reclaim mechanism, which
hinders the efficient offloading of cold pages to disk, thereby
compromising the preservation of the LRU order and consequently
diminishing, if not inverting, its performance benefits.
The functioning of the zswap shrink worker was found to be inadequate, as
shown by basic benchmark test. For the test, a kernel build was utilized
as a reference, with its memory confined to 1G via a cgroup and a 5G swap
file provided. The results are presented below, these are averages of
three runs without the use of zswap:
real 46m26s
user 35m4s
sys 7m37s
With zswap (zbud) enabled and max_pool_percent set to 1 (in a 32G
system), the results changed to:
real 56m4s
user 35m13s
sys 8m43s
written_back_pages: 18
reject_reclaim_fail: 0
pool_limit_hit:1478
Besides the evident regression, one thing to notice from this data is the
extremely low number of written_back_pages and pool_limit_hit.
The pool_limit_hit counter, which is increased in zswap_frontswap_store
when zswap is completely full, doesn't account for a particular scenario:
once zswap hits his limit, zswap_pool_reached_full is set to true; with
this flag on, zswap_frontswap_store rejects pages if zswap is still above
the acceptance threshold. Once we include the rejections due to
zswap_pool_reached_full && !zswap_can_accept(), the number goes from 1478
to a significant 21578266.
Zswap is stuck in an undesirable state where it rejects pages because it's
above the acceptance threshold, yet fails to attempt memory reclaimation.
This happens because the shrink work is only queued when
zswap_frontswap_store detects that it's full and the work itself only
reclaims one page per run.
This state results in hot pages getting written directly to disk, while
cold ones remain memory, waiting only to be invalidated. The LRU order is
completely broken and zswap ends up being just an overhead without
providing any benefits.
This commit applies 2 changes: a) the shrink worker is set to reclaim
pages until the acceptance threshold is met and b) the task is also
enqueued when zswap is not full but still above the threshold.

mm: zswap: shrink until can accept
This update addresses an issue with the zswap reclaim mechanism, which
hinders the efficient offloading of cold pages to disk, thereby
compromising the preservation of the LRU order and consequently
diminishing, if not inverting, its performance benefits.
The functioning of the zswap shrink worker was found to be inadequate, as
shown by basic benchmark test. For the test, a kernel build was utilized
as a reference, with its memory confined to 1G via a cgroup and a 5G swap
file provided. The results are presented below, these are averages of
three runs without the use of zswap:
real 46m26s
user 35m4s
sys 7m37s
With zswap (zbud) enabled and max_pool_percent set to 1 (in a 32G
system), the results changed to:
real 56m4s
user 35m13s
sys 8m43s
written_back_pages: 18
reject_reclaim_fail: 0
pool_limit_hit:1478
Besides the evident regression, one thing to notice from this data is the
extremely low number of written_back_pages and pool_limit_hit.
The pool_limit_hit counter, which is increased in zswap_frontswap_store
when zswap is completely full, doesn't account for a particular scenario:
once zswap hits his limit, zswap_pool_reached_full is set to true; with
this flag on, zswap_frontswap_store rejects pages if zswap is still above
the acceptance threshold. Once we include the rejections due to
zswap_pool_reached_full && !zswap_can_accept(), the number goes from 1478
to a significant 21578266.
Zswap is stuck in an undesirable state where it rejects pages because it's
above the acceptance threshold, yet fails to attempt memory reclaimation.
This happens because the shrink work is only queued when
zswap_frontswap_store detects that it's full and the work itself only
reclaims one page per run.
This state results in hot pages getting written directly to disk, while
cold ones remain memory, waiting only to be invalidated. The LRU order is
completely broken and zswap ends up being just an overhead without
providing any benefits.
This commit applies 2 changes: a) the shrink worker is set to reclaim
pages until the acceptance threshold is met and b) the task is also
enqueued when zswap is not full but still above the threshold.
Testing this suggested update showed much better numbers:

zswap: same-filled pages handling
Zswap is a cache which compresses the pages that are being swapped out
and stores them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
Experiments have shown that around 10-20% of pages stored in zswap are
same-filled pages (i.e. contents of the page are all same), but these
pages are handled as normal pages by compressing and allocating memory
in the pool.
This patch adds a check in zswap_frontswap_store() to identify
same-filled page before compression of the page. If the page is a
same-filled page, set zswap_entry.length to zero, save the same-filled
value and skip the compression of the page and alloction of memory in
zpool. In zswap_frontswap_load(), check if value of zswap_entry.length
is zero corresponding to the page to be loaded. If zswap_entry.length
is zero, fill the page with same-filled value. This saves the
decompression time during load.
On a ARM Quad Core 32-bit device with 1.5GB RAM by launching and
relaunching different applications, out of ~64000 pages stored in zswap,
~11000 pages were same-value filled pages (including zero-filled pages)
and ~9000 pages were zero-filled pages.
An average of 17% of pages(including zero-filled pages) in zswap are
same-value filled pages and 14% pages are zero-filled pages. An average
of 3% of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.
The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.
Baseline With patch % Improvement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*Zswap Store Time 26.5ms 18ms 32%
(of same value pages)
*Zswap Load Time
(of same value pages) 25.5ms 13ms 49%
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On Ubuntu PC with 2GB RAM, while executing kernel build and other test
scripts and running multimedia applications, out of 360000 pages stored
in zswap 78000(~22%) of pages were found to be same-value filled pages
(including zero-filled pages) and 64000(~17%) are zero-filled pages. So
an average of %5 of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.
The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.

*Zswap Store Time 91ms 74ms 19%

mm, swap, frontswap: fix THP swap if frontswap enabled

Page) and frontswap (via zswap) are both enabled, when memory goes low
so that swap is triggered, segfault and memory corruption will occur in
random user space applications as follow,
kernel: urxvt[338]: segfault at 20 ip 00007fc08889ae0d sp 00007ffc73a7fc40 error 6 in libc-2.26.so[7fc08881a000+1ae000]

After bisection, it was found the first bad commit is bd4c82c22c36 ("mm,
THP, swap: delay splitting THP after swapped out").
The root cause is as follows:
When the pages are written to swap device during swapping out in
swap_writepage(), zswap (fontswap) is tried to compress the pages to
improve performance. But zswap (frontswap) will treat THP as a normal
page, so only the head page is saved. After swapping in, tail pages
will not be restored to their original contents, causing memory
corruption in the applications.
This is fixed by refusing to save page in the frontswap store functions
if the page is a THP. So that the THP will be swapped out to swap
device.
Another choice is to split THP if frontswap is enabled. But it is found
that the frontswap enabling isn't flexible. For example, if
CONFIG_ZSWAP=y (cannot be module), frontswap will be enabled even if
zswap itself isn't enabled.
Frontswap has multiple backends, to make it easy for one backend to
enable THP support, the THP checking is put in backend frontswap store
functions instead of the general interfaces.

mm: zswap: shrink until can accept
This update addresses an issue with the zswap reclaim mechanism, which
hinders the efficient offloading of cold pages to disk, thereby
compromising the preservation of the LRU order and consequently
diminishing, if not inverting, its performance benefits.
The functioning of the zswap shrink worker was found to be inadequate, as
shown by basic benchmark test. For the test, a kernel build was utilized
as a reference, with its memory confined to 1G via a cgroup and a 5G swap
file provided. The results are presented below, these are averages of
three runs without the use of zswap:
real 46m26s
user 35m4s
sys 7m37s
With zswap (zbud) enabled and max_pool_percent set to 1 (in a 32G
system), the results changed to:
real 56m4s
user 35m13s
sys 8m43s
written_back_pages: 18
reject_reclaim_fail: 0
pool_limit_hit:1478
Besides the evident regression, one thing to notice from this data is the
extremely low number of written_back_pages and pool_limit_hit.
The pool_limit_hit counter, which is increased in zswap_frontswap_store
when zswap is completely full, doesn't account for a particular scenario:
once zswap hits his limit, zswap_pool_reached_full is set to true; with
this flag on, zswap_frontswap_store rejects pages if zswap is still above
the acceptance threshold. Once we include the rejections due to
zswap_pool_reached_full && !zswap_can_accept(), the number goes from 1478
to a significant 21578266.
Zswap is stuck in an undesirable state where it rejects pages because it's
above the acceptance threshold, yet fails to attempt memory reclaimation.
This happens because the shrink work is only queued when
zswap_frontswap_store detects that it's full and the work itself only
reclaims one page per run.
This state results in hot pages getting written directly to disk, while
cold ones remain memory, waiting only to be invalidated. The LRU order is
completely broken and zswap ends up being just an overhead without
providing any benefits.
This commit applies 2 changes: a) the shrink worker is set to reclaim
pages until the acceptance threshold is met and b) the task is also
enqueued when zswap is not full but still above the threshold.
Testing this suggested update showed much better numbers:
real 36m37s
user 35m8s
sys 9m32s
written_back_pages: 10459423
reject_reclaim_fail: 12896
pool_limit_hit: 75653

zswap: same-filled pages handling
Zswap is a cache which compresses the pages that are being swapped out
and stores them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
Experiments have shown that around 10-20% of pages stored in zswap are
same-filled pages (i.e. contents of the page are all same), but these
pages are handled as normal pages by compressing and allocating memory
in the pool.
This patch adds a check in zswap_frontswap_store() to identify
same-filled page before compression of the page. If the page is a
same-filled page, set zswap_entry.length to zero, save the same-filled
value and skip the compression of the page and alloction of memory in
zpool. In zswap_frontswap_load(), check if value of zswap_entry.length
is zero corresponding to the page to be loaded. If zswap_entry.length
is zero, fill the page with same-filled value. This saves the
decompression time during load.
On a ARM Quad Core 32-bit device with 1.5GB RAM by launching and
relaunching different applications, out of ~64000 pages stored in zswap,
~11000 pages were same-value filled pages (including zero-filled pages)
and ~9000 pages were zero-filled pages.
An average of 17% of pages(including zero-filled pages) in zswap are
same-value filled pages and 14% pages are zero-filled pages. An average
of 3% of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.
The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
*Zswap Store Time 26.5ms 18ms 32%
(of same value pages)
*Zswap Load Time
(of same value pages) 25.5ms 13ms 49%
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On Ubuntu PC with 2GB RAM, while executing kernel build and other test
scripts and running multimedia applications, out of 360000 pages stored
in zswap 78000(~22%) of pages were found to be same-value filled pages
(including zero-filled pages) and 64000(~17%) are zero-filled pages. So
an average of %5 of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.

zswap: same-filled pages handling
Zswap is a cache which compresses the pages that are being swapped out
and stores them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
Experiments have shown that around 10-20% of pages stored in zswap are
same-filled pages (i.e. contents of the page are all same), but these
pages are handled as normal pages by compressing and allocating memory
in the pool.
This patch adds a check in zswap_frontswap_store() to identify
same-filled page before compression of the page. If the page is a
same-filled page, set zswap_entry.length to zero, save the same-filled
value and skip the compression of the page and alloction of memory in
zpool. In zswap_frontswap_load(), check if value of zswap_entry.length
is zero corresponding to the page to be loaded. If zswap_entry.length
is zero, fill the page with same-filled value. This saves the
decompression time during load.
On a ARM Quad Core 32-bit device with 1.5GB RAM by launching and
relaunching different applications, out of ~64000 pages stored in zswap,
~11000 pages were same-value filled pages (including zero-filled pages)
and ~9000 pages were zero-filled pages.
An average of 17% of pages(including zero-filled pages) in zswap are
same-value filled pages and 14% pages are zero-filled pages. An average
of 3% of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.
The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.

*Zswap Store Time 26.5ms 18ms 32%

On Ubuntu PC with 2GB RAM, while executing kernel build and other test

in zswap 78000(~22%) of pages were found to be same-value filled pages
(including zero-filled pages) and 64000(~17%) are zero-filled pages. So
an average of %5 of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.

mm: zswap: add pool shrinking mechanism
Patch series "mm: zswap: move writeback LRU from zpool to zswap", v3.
This series aims to improve the zswap reclaim mechanism by reorganizing
the LRU management. In the current implementation, the LRU is maintained
within each zpool driver, resulting in duplicated code across the three
drivers. The proposed change consists in moving the LRU management from
the individual implementations up to the zswap layer.
The primary objective of this refactoring effort is to simplify the
codebase. By unifying the reclaim loop and consolidating LRU handling
within zswap, we can eliminate redundant code and improve
maintainability. Additionally, this change enables the reclamation of
stored pages in their actual LRU order. Presently, the zpool drivers
link backing pages in an LRU, causing compressed pages with different
LRU positions to be written back simultaneously.
The series consists of several patches. The first patch implements the
LRU and the reclaim loop in zswap, but it is not used yet because all
three driver implementations are marked as zpool_evictable.
The following three commits modify each zpool driver to be not
zpool_evictable, allowing the use of the reclaim loop in zswap.
As the drivers removed their shrink functions, the zpool interface is
then trimmed by removing zpool_evictable, zpool_ops, and zpool_shrink.
Finally, the code in zswap is further cleaned up by simplifying the
writeback function and removing the now unnecessary zswap_header.
This patch (of 7):
Each zpool driver (zbud, z3fold and zsmalloc) implements its own shrink
function, which is called from zpool_shrink. However, with this commit, a
unified shrink function is added to zswap. The ultimate goal is to
eliminate the need for zpool_shrink once all zpool implementations have
dropped their shrink code.
To ensure the functionality of each commit, this change focuses solely on
adding the mechanism itself. No modifications are made to the backends,
meaning that functionally, there are no immediate changes. The zswap
mechanism will only come into effect once the backends have removed their
shrink code. The subsequent commits will address the modifications needed
in the backends.

This patch adds a check in zswap_frontswap_store() to identify
same-filled page before compression of the page. If the page is a

~11000 pages were same-value filled pages (including zero-filled pages)

An average of 17% of pages(including zero-filled pages) in zswap are

zswap: same-filled pages handling
Zswap is a cache which compresses the pages that are being swapped out
and stores them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
Experiments have shown that around 10-20% of pages stored in zswap are
same-filled pages (i.e. contents of the page are all same), but these
pages are handled as normal pages by compressing and allocating memory
in the pool.
This patch adds a check in zswap_frontswap_store() to identify
same-filled page before compression of the page. If the page is a
same-filled page, set zswap_entry.length to zero, save the same-filled
value and skip the compression of the page and alloction of memory in
zpool. In zswap_frontswap_load(), check if value of zswap_entry.length
is zero corresponding to the page to be loaded. If zswap_entry.length
is zero, fill the page with same-filled value. This saves the
decompression time during load.
On a ARM Quad Core 32-bit device with 1.5GB RAM by launching and
relaunching different applications, out of ~64000 pages stored in zswap,
~11000 pages were same-value filled pages (including zero-filled pages)
and ~9000 pages were zero-filled pages.
An average of 17% of pages(including zero-filled pages) in zswap are
same-value filled pages and 14% pages are zero-filled pages. An average
of 3% of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.
The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.
Baseline With patch % Improvement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*Zswap Store Time 26.5ms 18ms 32%
(of same value pages)
*Zswap Load Time
(of same value pages) 25.5ms 13ms 49%
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On Ubuntu PC with 2GB RAM, while executing kernel build and other test
scripts and running multimedia applications, out of 360000 pages stored
in zswap 78000(~22%) of pages were found to be same-value filled pages
(including zero-filled pages) and 64000(~17%) are zero-filled pages. So
an average of %5 of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.
The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.
Baseline With patch % Improvement
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*Zswap Store Time 91ms 74ms 19%
(of same value pages)
*Zswap Load Time 50ms 7.5ms 85%
(of same value pages)
-----------------------------------------------------------------
*The execution times may vary with test device used.

mm/zswap: make sure each swapfile always have zswap rb-tree
Patch series "mm/zswap: optimize the scalability of zswap rb-tree", v2.
When testing the zswap performance by using kernel build -j32 in a tmpfs
directory, I found the scalability of zswap rb-tree is not good, which is
protected by the only spinlock. That would cause heavy lock contention if
multiple tasks zswap_store/load concurrently.
So a simple solution is to split the only one zswap rb-tree into multiple
rb-trees, each corresponds to SWAP_ADDRESS_SPACE_PAGES (64M). This idea
is from the commit 4b3ef9daa4fc ("mm/swap: split swap cache into 64MB
trunks").
Although this method can't solve the spinlock contention completely, it
can mitigate much of that contention. Below is the results of kernel
build in tmpfs with zswap shrinker enabled:
linux-next zswap-lock-optimize
real 1m9.181s 1m3.820s
user 17m44.036s 17m40.100s
sys 7m37.297s 4m54.622s
So there are clearly improvements. And it's complementary with the
ongoing zswap xarray conversion by Chris. Anyway, I think we can also
merge this first, it's complementary IMHO. So I just refresh and resend
this for further discussion.
This patch (of 2):
Not all zswap interfaces can handle the absence of the zswap rb-tree,
actually only zswap_store() has handled it for now.
To make things simple, we make sure each swapfile always have the zswap
rb-tree prepared before being enabled and used. The preparation is
unlikely to fail in practice, this patch just make it explicit.

mm/zswap: global lru and shrinker shared by all zswap_pools
Patch series "mm/zswap: optimize for dynamic zswap_pools", v3.
Dynamic pool creation has been supported for a long time, which maybe not
used so much in practice. But with the per-memcg lru merged, the current
structure of zswap_pool's lru and shrinker become less optimal.
In the current structure, each zswap_pool has its own lru, shrinker and
shrink_work, but only the latest zswap_pool will be the current used.
1. When memory has pressure, all shrinkers of zswap_pools will try to
shrink its lru list, there is no order between them.
2. When zswap limit hit, only the last zswap_pool's shrink_work will
try to shrink its own lru, which is inefficient.
A more natural way is to have a global zswap lru shared between all
zswap_pools, and so is the shrinker. The code becomes much simpler too.
Another optimization is changing zswap_pool kref to percpu_ref, which will
be taken reference by every zswap entry. So the scalability is better.
Testing kernel build (32 threads) in tmpfs with memory.max=2GB. (zswap
shrinker and writeback enabled with one 50GB swapfile, on a 128 CPUs
x86-64 machine, below is the average of 5 runs)
mm-unstable zswap-global-lru
real 63.20 63.12
user 1061.75 1062.95
sys 268.74 264.44
This patch (of 3):
Dynamic zswap_pool creation may create/reuse to have multiple zswap_pools
in a list, only the first will be current used.
Each zswap_pool has its own lru and shrinker, which is not necessary and
has its problem:
1. When memory has pressure, all shrinker of zswap_pools will
try to shrink its own lru, there is no order between them.
2. When zswap limit hit, only the last zswap_pool's shrink_work
will try to shrink its lru list. The rationale here was to
try and empty the old pool first so that we can completely
drop it. However, since we only support exclusive loads now,
the LRU ordering should be entirely decided by the order of
stores, so the oldest entries on the LRU will naturally be
from the oldest pool.
Anyway, having a global lru and shrinker shared by all zswap_pools is
better and efficient.

mm/zswap: global lru and shrinker shared by all zswap_pools
Patch series "mm/zswap: optimize for dynamic zswap_pools", v3.
Dynamic pool creation has been supported for a long time, which maybe not
used so much in practice. But with the per-memcg lru merged, the current
structure of zswap_pool's lru and shrinker become less optimal.
In the current structure, each zswap_pool has its own lru, shrinker and
shrink_work, but only the latest zswap_pool will be the current used.
1. When memory has pressure, all shrinkers of zswap_pools will try to
shrink its lru list, there is no order between them.
2. When zswap limit hit, only the last zswap_pool's shrink_work will
try to shrink its own lru, which is inefficient.
A more natural way is to have a global zswap lru shared between all
zswap_pools, and so is the shrinker. The code becomes much simpler too.
Another optimization is changing zswap_pool kref to percpu_ref, which will
be taken reference by every zswap entry. So the scalability is better.
Testing kernel build (32 threads) in tmpfs with memory.max=2GB. (zswap
shrinker and writeback enabled with one 50GB swapfile, on a 128 CPUs
x86-64 machine, below is the average of 5 runs)

This patch (of 3):
Dynamic zswap_pool creation may create/reuse to have multiple zswap_pools
in a list, only the first will be current used.
Each zswap_pool has its own lru and shrinker, which is not necessary and
has its problem:
1. When memory has pressure, all shrinker of zswap_pools will
try to shrink its own lru, there is no order between them.
2. When zswap limit hit, only the last zswap_pool's shrink_work
will try to shrink its lru list. The rationale here was to
try and empty the old pool first so that we can completely
drop it. However, since we only support exclusive loads now,
the LRU ordering should be entirely decided by the order of
stores, so the oldest entries on the LRU will naturally be
from the oldest pool.
Anyway, having a global lru and shrinker shared by all zswap_pools is
better and efficient.

zswap: disable changing params if init fails
Add zswap_init_failed bool that prevents changing any of the module
params, if init_zswap() fails, and set zswap_enabled to false. Change
'enabled' param to a callback, and check zswap_init_failed before
allowing any change to 'enabled', 'zpool', or 'compressor' params.
Any driver that is built-in to the kernel will not be unloaded if its
init function returns error, and its module params remain accessible for
users to change via sysfs. Since zswap uses param callbacks, which
assume that zswap has been initialized, changing the zswap params after
a failed initialization will result in WARNING due to the param
callbacks expecting a pool to already exist. This prevents that by
immediately exiting any of the param callbacks if initialization failed.
This was reported here:
https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147004228125528&w=4
And fixes this WARNING:
[ 429.723476] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5140 at mm/zswap.c:503 __zswap_pool_current+0x56/0x60
The warning is just noise, and not serious. However, when init fails,
zswap frees all its percpu dstmem pages and its kmem cache. The kmem
cache might be serious, if kmem_cache_alloc(NULL, gfp) has problems; but
the percpu dstmem pages are definitely a problem, as they're used as
temporary buffer for compressed pages before copying into place in the
zpool.
If the user does get zswap enabled after an init failure, then zswap
will likely Oops on the first page it tries to compress (or worse, start
corrupting memory).
