90874fc21c staging: zcache: fix static variables defined in debug.h but used in mutiple C files
After commit 95bdaee214 ("zcache: Move debugfs code out of zcache-main.c file")
be merged, most of knods in zcache debugfs just export zero since these variables
are defined in debug.h but are in use in multiple C files zcache-main.c and debug.c,
in this case variables can't be treated as shared variables.

eee53d9218 staging: zcache: fix zcache writeback in debugfs
commit 9c0ad59ef ("zcache/debug: Use an array to initialize/use debugfs attributes")
use an array to initialize/use debugfs attributes, .name = #x, .val = &zcache_##x.
For zcache writeback, this commit set .name = zcache_outstanding_writeback_pages and
.name = zcache_writtenback_pages seperately, however, corresponding .val =
&zcache_zcache_outstanding_writeback_pages and .val = &zcache_zcache_writtenback_pages,
which are not correct.

b0749e77ae staging: zcache: handle zcache_[eph|pers]_zpages for zero-filled page
Increment/decrement zcache_[eph|pers]_zpages for zero-filled pages,
the main point of the counters for zpages and pageframes is to be
able to calculate density == zpages/pageframes. A zero-filled page
becomes a zpage that "compresses" to zero bytes and, as a result,
requires zero pageframes for storage. So the zpages counter should
be increased but the pageframes counter should not.

8762c7dde7 staging: zcache: zero-filled pages awareness
Compression of zero-filled pages can unneccessarily cause internal
fragmentation, and thus waste memory. This special case can be
optimized.

This patch captures zero-filled pages, and marks their corresponding
zcache backing page entry as zero-filled. Whenever such zero-filled
page is retrieved, we fill the page frame with zero.

22b751c3d0 mm: rename page struct field helpers
The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and
reset_page_last_nid() were judged to be inconsistent so rename them to a
struct_field_op style pattern.  As it looked jarring to have
reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in
memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to
page_mapcount_reset().  There are others like init_page_count() but as
it is used throughout the arch code a rename would likely cause more
conflicts than it is worth.

76426daf50 staging/zcache: Fix/improve zcache writeback code, tie to a config option
It was observed by Andrea Arcangeli in 2011 that zcache can get "full"
and there must be some way for compressed swap pages to be (uncompressed
and then) sent through to the backing swap disk.  A prototype of this
functionality, called "unuse", was added in 2012 as part of a major update
to zcache (aka "zcache2"), but was left unfinished due to the unfortunate
temporary fork of zcache.

This earlier version of the code had an unresolved memory leak
and was anyway dependent on not-yet-upstream frontswap and mm changes.
The code was meanwhile adapted by Seth Jennings for similar
functionality in zswap (which he calls "flush").  Seth also made some
clever simplifications which are herein ported back to zcache.  As a
result of those simplifications, the frontswap changes are no longer
necessary, but a slightly different (and simpler) set of mm changes are
still required [1].  The memory leak is also fixed.

Due to feedback from akpm in a zswap thread, this functionality in zcache
has now been renamed from "unuse" to "writeback".

Although this zcache writeback code now works, there are open questions
as how best to handle the policy that drives it.  As a result, this
patch also ties writeback to a new config option.  And, since the
code still depends on not-yet-upstreamed mm patches, to avoid build
problems, the config option added by this patch temporarily depends
on "BROKEN"; this config dependency can be removed in trees that
contain the necessary mm patches.

703ba7fe5e staging: zcache: rename ramster to zcache
[V2: no code changes, patchset now generated via git format-patch -M]

In staging, rename ramster to zcache

The original zcache in staging was a "demo" version, and this new zcache
is a significant rewrite.  While certain disagreements were being resolved,
both "old zcache" and "new zcache" needed to reside in the staging tree
simultaneously.  In order to minimize code change and churn, the newer
version of zcache was temporarily merged into the "ramster" staging driver
which, prior to that, had at one time heavily leveraged the older version
of zcache.  So, recently, "new zcache" resided in the ramster directory.

Got that? No? Sorry, temporary political compromises are rarely pretty.

The older version of zcache is no longer being maintained and has now
been removed from the staging tree.  So now the newer version of zcache
can rightfully reclaim sole possession of the name "zcache".

FYI, this [PATCH 2/5] is simply a "git mv" generated by "git format-patch -M".

6d7d9798ad staging: zcache: fix cleancache race condition with shrinker
This patch fixes a race condition that results in memory
corruption when using cleancache.

The race exists between the zcache shrinker handler,
shrink_zcache_memory() and cleancache_get_page().

In most cases, the shrinker will both evict a zbpg
from its buddy list and flush it from tmem before a
cleancache_get_page() occurs on that page. A subsequent
cleancache_get_page() will fail in the tmem layer.

In the rare case that two occur together and the
cleancache_get_page() path gets through the tmem
layer before the shrinker path can flush tmem,
zbud_decompress() does a check to see if the zbpg is a
"zombie", i.e. not on a buddy list, which means the shrinker
is in the process of reclaiming it. If the zbpg is a zombie,
zbud_decompress() returns -EINVAL.

However, this return code is being ignored by the caller,
zcache_pampd_get_data_and_free(), which results in the
caller of cleancache_get_page() thinking that the page has
been properly retrieved when it has not.

This patch modifies zcache_pampd_get_data_and_free() to
convey the failure up the stack so that the caller of
cleancache_get_page() knows the page retrieval failed.

This needs to be applied to stable trees as well.
zcache-main.c was named zcache.c before v3.1, so
I'm not sure how you want to handle trees earlier
than that.
