zram: zram memory size limitation

Browse Source 
Since zram has no control feature to limit memory usage, it makes hard to
manage system memrory.

This patch adds new knob "mem_limit" via sysfs to set up the a limit so
that zram could fail allocation once it reaches the limit.

In addition, user could change the limit in runtime so that he could
manage the memory more dynamically.

Initial state is no limit so it doesn't break old behavior.

@ -119,3 +119,12 @@ Description:
efficiency can be calculated using compr_data_size and this
statistic.
Unit: bytes
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/mem_limit
Date: August 2014
Contact: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>
Description:
The mem_limit file is read/write and specifies the maximum
amount of memory ZRAM can use to store the compressed data. The
limit could be changed in run time and "0" means disable the
limit. No limit is the initial state. Unit: bytes

@ -74,14 +74,30 @@ There is little point creating a zram of greater than twice the size of memory
since we expect a 2:1 compression ratio. Note that zram uses about 0.1% of the
size of the disk when not in use so a huge zram is wasteful.
5) Activate:
5) Set memory limit: Optional
Set memory limit by writing the value to sysfs node 'mem_limit'.
The value can be either in bytes or you can use mem suffixes.
In addition, you could change the value in runtime.
Examples:
# limit /dev/zram0 with 50MB memory
echo $((50*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit
# Using mem suffixes
echo 256K > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit
echo 512M > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit
echo 1G > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit
# To disable memory limit
echo 0 > /sys/block/zram0/mem_limit
6) Activate:
mkswap /dev/zram0
swapon /dev/zram0
mkfs.ext4 /dev/zram1
mount /dev/zram1 /tmp
