We have to invalidate any duplicate entry even when !zswap_enabled since
zswap can be disabled anytime. If the folio store success before, then
got dirtied again but zswap disabled, we won't invalidate the old
duplicate entry in the zswap_store(). So later lru writeback may
overwrite the new data in swapfile.

When a folio is swapped in, the protection size of the corresponding zswap
LRU is incremented, so that the zswap shrinker is more conservative with
its reclaiming action. This field is embedded within the struct lruvec,
so updating it requires looking up the folio's memcg and lruvec. However,
currently this lookup can happen after the folio is unlocked, for instance
if a new folio is allocated, and swap_read_folio() unlocks the folio
before returning. In this scenario, there is no stability guarantee for
the binding between a folio and its memcg and lruvec:
* A folio's memcg and lruvec can be freed between the lookup and the
update, leading to a UAF.
* Folio migration can clear the now-unlocked folio's memcg_data, which
directs the zswap LRU protection size update towards the root memcg
instead of the original memcg. This was recently picked up by the
syzbot thanks to a warning in the inlined folio_lruvec() call.
Move the zswap LRU protection range update above the swap_read_folio()
call, and only when a new page is allocated, to prevent this.

In zswap_writeback_entry(), after we get a folio from
__read_swap_cache_async(), we grab the tree lock again to check that the
swap entry was not invalidated and recycled. If it was, we delete the
folio we just added to the swap cache and exit.
However, __read_swap_cache_async() returns the folio locked when it is
newly allocated, which is always true for this path, and the folio is
ref'd. Make sure to unlock and put the folio before returning.
This was discovered by code inspection, probably because this path handles
a race condition that should not happen often, and the bug would not crash
the system, it will only strand the folio indefinitely.

LRU_SKIP can only be returned if we don't ever dropped lru lock, or we
need to return LRU_RETRY to restart from the head of lru list.
Otherwise, the iteration might continue from a cursor position that was
freed while the locks were dropped.
Actually we may need to introduce another LRU_STOP to really terminate the
ongoing shrinking scan process, when we encounter a warm page already in
the swap cache. The current list_lru implementation doesn't have this
function to early break from __list_lru_walk_one.

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).

This patch (of 13):
Move the folio->page conversion into the callers that actually want that.
Most of the callers are happier with the folio anyway. If the
page_allocated boolean is set, the folio allocated is of order-0, so it is
safe to pass the page directly to swap_readpage().

we are now using for purposes other than compression.
Then we change per-cpu mutex and buffer to per-acomp_ctx, since them
belong to the acomp_ctx and are necessary parts when used in the
compress/decompress contexts.
So we can remove the old per-cpu mutex and dstmem.

Patch series "mm/zswap: dstmem reuse optimizations and cleanups", v5.
The problem this series tries to optimize is that zswap_load() and
zswap_writeback_entry() have to malloc a temporary memory to support
!zpool_can_sleep_mapped(). We can avoid it by reusing the percpu
crypto_acomp_ctx->dstmem, which is also used by zswap_store() and
protected by the same percpu crypto_acomp_ctx->mutex.
This patch (of 5):
In the !zpool_can_sleep_mapped() case such as zsmalloc, we need to first
copy the entry->handle memory to a temporary memory, which is allocated
using kmalloc.
Obviously we can reuse the per-compressor dstmem to avoid allocating every
time, since it's percpu-compressor and protected in percpu mutex.

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.

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.

Currently, we only have a single global LRU for zswap. This makes it
impossible to perform worload-specific shrinking - an memcg cannot
determine which pages in the pool it owns, and often ends up writing pages
from other memcgs. This issue has been previously observed in practice
and mitigated by simply disabling memcg-initiated shrinking:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230530232435.3097106-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/T/#u
This patch fully resolves the issue by replacing the global zswap LRU
with memcg- and NUMA-specific LRUs, and modify the reclaim logic:
a) When a store attempt hits an memcg limit, it now triggers a
synchronous reclaim attempt that, if successful, allows the new
hotter page to be accepted by zswap.
b) If the store attempt instead hits the global zswap limit, it will
trigger an asynchronous reclaim attempt, in which an memcg is
selected for reclaim in a round-robin-like fashion.

kmap_atomic() has been deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page().
Therefore, replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in
zswap.c.
kmap_atomic() is implemented like a kmap_local_page() which also disables
page-faults and preemption (the latter only in !PREEMPT_RT kernels). The
kernel virtual addresses returned by these two API are only valid in the
context of the callers (i.e., they cannot be handed to other threads).
With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread and CPU local like in
kmap_atomic(); however, they can handle page-faults and can be called from
any context (including interrupts). The tasks that call kmap_local_page()
can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the kernel
virtual addresses are restored and are still valid.
In mm/zswap.c, the blocks of code between the mappings and un-mappings do
not depend on the above-mentioned side effects of kmap_atomic(), so that
the mere replacements of the old API with the new one is all that is
required (i.e., there is no need to explicitly call pagefault_disable()
and/or preempt_disable()).

During a zswap store attempt, the compression algorithm could fail (for
e.g due to the page containing incompressible random data). This is not
tracked in any of existing zswap counters, making it hard to monitor for
and investigate. We have run into this problem several times in our
internal investigations on zswap store failures.
This patch adds a dedicated debugfs counter for compression algorithm
failures.

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 09c231cb8b
("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.

When a zswap store fails due to the limit, it acquires a pool reference
and queues the shrinker. When the shrinker runs, it drops the reference.
However, there can be multiple store attempts before the shrinker wakes up
and runs once. This results in reference leaks and eventual saturation
warnings for the pool refcount.
Fix this by dropping the reference again when the shrinker is already
queued. This ensures one reference per shrinker run.

the old entry isn't removed from the tree. This change removes duplicate

Removing a zswap entry from the tree is tied to an explicit operation

Support using multiple zpools of the same type in zswap, for concurrency
purposes. A fixed number of 32 zpools is suggested by this commit, which
was determined empirically. It can be later changed or made into a config
option if needed.
On a setup with zswap and zsmalloc, comparing a single zpool to 32 zpools
shows improvements in the zsmalloc lock contention, especially on the swap
out path.
The following shows the perf analysis of the swapout path when 10
workloads are simultaneously reclaiming and refaulting tmpfs pages. There
are some improvements on the swap in path as well, but less significant.

If exclusive loads are enabled for zswap, we invalidate the entry before
returning from zswap_frontswap_load(), after dropping the local reference.
However, the tree lock is dropped during decompression after the local
reference is acquired, so the entry could be invalidated before we drop
the local ref. If this happens, the entry is freed once we drop the local
ref, and zswap_invalidate_entry() tries to invalidate an already freed
entry.
Fix this by:
(a) Making sure zswap_invalidate_entry() is always called with a local
ref held, to avoid being called on a freed entry.
(b) Making sure zswap_invalidate_entry() only drops the ref if the entry
was actually on the rbtree. Otherwise, another invalidation could
have already happened, and the initial ref is already dropped.
With these changes, there is no need to check that there is no need to
make sure the entry still exists in the tree in zswap_reclaim_entry()
before invalidating it, as zswap_reclaim_entry() will make this check
internally.

When an entry started writeback, it used to be invalidated with ref count
logic alone, meaning that it would stay on the tree until all references
were put. The problem with this behavior is that as soon as the writeback
started, the ownership of the data held by the entry is passed to the
swapcache and should not be left in zswap too. Currently there are no
known issues because of this, but this change explicitly invalidates an
entry that started writeback to reduce opportunities for future bugs.
This patch is a follow up on the series titled "mm: zswap: move writeback
LRU from zpool to zswap" + commit f090b7949768("mm: zswap: support

Previously, zswap_header served the purpose of storing the swpentry within
zpool pages. This allowed zpool implementations to pass relevant
information to the writeback function. However, with the current
implementation, writeback is directly handled within zswap. Consequently,
there is no longer a necessity for zswap_header, as the swp_entry_t can be
stored directly in zswap_entry.

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.

Commit 71024cb4a0 ("frontswap: remove frontswap_tmem_exclusive_gets")
removed support for exclusive loads from frontswap as it was not used.
Bring back exclusive loads support to frontswap by adding an "exclusive"
output parameter to frontswap_ops->load.
On the zswap side, add a module parameter to enable/disable exclusive
loads, and a config option to control the boot default value. Refactor
zswap entry invalidation in zswap_frontswap_invalidate_page() into
zswap_invalidate_entry() to reuse it in zswap_frontswap_load() if
exclusive loads are enabled.
With exclusive loads, we avoid having two copies of the same page in
memory (compressed & uncompressed) after faulting it in from zswap. On
the other hand, if the page is to be reclaimed again without being
dirtied, it will be re-compressed. Compression is not usually slow, and a
page that was just faulted in is less likely to be reclaimed again soon.

Before storing a page, zswap first checks if the number of stored pages
exceeds the limit specified by memory.zswap.max, for each cgroup in the
hierarchy. If this limit is reached or exceeded, then zswap shrinking is
triggered and short-circuits the store attempt.
However, since the zswap's LRU is not memcg-aware, this can create the
following pathological behavior: the cgroup whose zswap limit is 0 will
evict pages from other cgroups continually, without lowering its own zswap
usage. This means the shrinking will continue until the need for swap
ceases or the pool becomes empty.
As a result of this, we observe a disproportionate amount of zswap
writeback and a perpetually small zswap pool in our experiments, even
though the pool limit is never hit.
More generally, a cgroup might unnecessarily evict pages from other
cgroups before we drive the memcg back below its limit.
This patch fixes the issue by rejecting zswap store attempt without
shrinking the pool when obj_cgroup_may_zswap() returns false.

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

The zswap writeback mechanism can cause a race condition resulting in
memory corruption, where a swapped out page gets swapped in with data that
was written to a different page.
The race unfolds like this:
1. a page with data A and swap offset X is stored in zswap
2. page A is removed off the LRU by zpool driver for writeback in
zswap-shrink work, data for A is mapped by zpool driver
3. user space program faults and invalidates page entry A, offset X is
considered free
4. kswapd stores page B at offset X in zswap (zswap could also be
full, if so, page B would then be IOed to X, then skip step 5.)
5. entry A is replaced by B in tree->rbroot, this doesn't affect the
local reference held by zswap-shrink work
6. zswap-shrink work writes back A at X, and frees zswap entry A
7. swapin of slot X brings A in memory instead of B
The fix:
Once the swap page cache has been allocated (case ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_NEW),
zswap-shrink work just checks that the local zswap_entry reference is
still the same as the one in the tree. If it's not the same it means that
it's either been invalidated or replaced, in both cases the writeback is
aborted because the local entry contains stale data.
Reproducer:
I originally found this by running `stress` overnight to validate my work
on the zswap writeback mechanism, it manifested after hours on my test
machine. The key to make it happen is having zswap writebacks, so
whatever setup pumps /sys/kernel/debug/zswap/written_back_pages should do
the trick.
In order to reproduce this faster on a vm, I setup a system with ~100M of
available memory and a 500M swap file, then running `stress --vm 1
--vm-bytes 300000000 --vm-stride 4000` makes it happen in matter of tens
of minutes. One can speed things up even more by swinging
/sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent up and down between, say, 20
and 1; this makes it reproduce in tens of seconds. It's crucial to set
`--vm-stride` to something other than 4096 otherwise `stress` won't
realize that memory has been corrupted because all pages would have the
same data.

are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro

might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.
So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as

The worst-case scenario on finding same element pages is that almost all
elements are same at the first glance but only last few elements are
different.
Since the same element tends to be grouped from the beginning of the
pages, if we check the first element with the last element before looping
through all elements, we might have some chances to quickly detect
non-same element pages.
1. Test is done under LG webOS TV (64-bit arch)
2. Dump the swap-out pages (~819200 pages)
3. Analyze the pages with simple test script which counts the iteration
number and measures the speed at off-line
Under 64-bit arch, the worst iteration count is PAGE_SIZE / 8 bytes = 512.
The speed is based on the time to consume page_same_filled() function
only. The result, on average, is listed as below:
Num of Iter Speed(MB/s)
Looping-Forward (Orig) 38 99265
Looping-Backward 36 102725
Last-element-check (This Patch) 33 125072
The result shows that the average iteration count decreases by 13% and the
speed increases by 25% with this patch. This patch does not increase the
overall time complexity, though.
I also ran simpler version which uses backward loop. Just looping
backward also makes some improvement, but less than this patch.
A similar change has already been made to zram in 90f82cbfe5 ("zram: try
to avoid worst-case scenario on same element pages").

Patch series "Implement writeback for zsmalloc", v7.
Unlike other zswap allocators such as zbud or z3fold, zsmalloc currently
lacks the writeback mechanism. This means that when the zswap pool is
full, it will simply reject further allocations, and the pages will be
written directly to swap.
This series of patches implements writeback for zsmalloc. When the zswap
pool becomes full, zsmalloc will attempt to evict all the compressed
objects in the least-recently used zspages.
This patch (of 6):
zswap's customary lock order is tree->lock before pool->lock, because the
tree->lock protects the entries' refcount, and the free callbacks in the
backends acquire their respective pool locks to dispatch the backing
object. zsmalloc's map callback takes the pool lock, so zswap must not
grab the tree->lock while a handle is mapped. This currently only happens
during writeback, which isn't implemented for zsmalloc. In preparation
for it, move the tree->lock section out of the mapped entry section
