zsmalloc pool can be compacted concurrently by many contexts,
e.g.
cc1 handle_mm_fault()
do_anonymous_page()
__alloc_pages_slowpath()
try_to_free_pages()
do_try_to_free_pages(
lru_gen_shrink_node()
shrink_slab()
do_shrink_slab()
zs_shrinker_scan()
zs_compact()
Pool compaction is currently (basically) single-threaded as
it is performed under pool->lock. Having multiple compaction
threads results in unnecessary contention, as each thread
competes for pool->lock. This, in turn, affects all zsmalloc
operations such as zs_malloc(), zs_map_object(), zs_free(), etc.
Introduce the pool->compaction_in_progress atomic variable,
which ensures that only one compaction context can run at a
time. This reduces overall pool->lock contention in (corner)
cases when many contexts attempt to shrink zspool simultaneously.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
