zram: avoid kunmap_atomic() of a NULL pointer

2014-11-21T17:23:00+00:00

commit c406515239376fc93a30d5d03192182160cbd3fb upstream.

zram could kunmap_atomic() a NULL pointer in a rare situation: a zram
page becomes a full-zeroed page after a partial write io.  The current
code doesn't handle this case and performs kunmap_atomic() on a NULL
pointer, which panics the kernel.

This patch fixes this issue.

zram: avoid null access when fail to alloc meta

2014-03-04T15:55:49+00:00

zram_meta_alloc could fail so caller should check it.  Otherwise, your
system will hang.

zram: remove zram->lock in read path and change it with mutex

2014-01-31T00:56:56+00:00

Finally, we separated zram->lock dependency from 32bit stat/ table
handling so there is no reason to use rw_semaphore between read and
write path so this patch removes the lock from read path totally and
changes rw_semaphore with mutex.  So, we could do

old:

  read-read: OK
  read-write: NO
  write-write: NO

Now:

  read-read: OK
  read-write: OK
  write-write: NO

The below data proves mixed workload performs well 11 times and there is
also enhance on write-write path because current rw-semaphore doesn't
support SPIN_ON_OWNER.  It's side effect but anyway good thing for us.

Write-related tests perform better (from 61% to 1058%) but read path has
good/bad(from -2.22% to 1.45%) but they are all marginal within stddev.

zram: remove workqueue for freeing removed pending slot

2014-01-31T00:56:55+00:00

Commit a0c516cbfc74 ("zram: don't grab mutex in zram_slot_free_noity")
introduced free request pending code to avoid scheduling by mutex under
spinlock and it was a mess which made code lenghty and increased
overhead.

Now, we don't need zram->lock any more to free slot so this patch
reverts it and then, tb_lock should protect it.

zram: introduce zram->tb_lock

2014-01-31T00:56:55+00:00

Currently, the zram table is protected by zram->lock but it's rather
coarse-grained lock and it makes hard for scalibility.

Let's use own rwlock instead of depending on zram->lock.  This patch
adds new locking so obviously, it would make slow but this patch is just
prepartion for removing coarse-grained rw_semaphore(ie, zram->lock)
which is hurdle about zram scalability.

Final patch in this patchset series will remove the lock from read-path
and change rw_semaphore with mutex in write path.  With bonus, we could
drop pending slot free mess in next patch.

zram: use atomic operation for stat

2014-01-31T00:56:55+00:00

Some of fields in zram->stats are protected by zram->lock which is
rather coarse-grained so let's use atomic operation without explict
locking.

This patch is ready for removing dependency of zram->lock in read path
which is very coarse-grained rw_semaphore.  Of course, this patch adds
new atomic operation so it might make slow but my 12CPU test couldn't
spot any regression.  All gain/lose is marginal within stddev.

Commit a0c516cbfc74 ("zram: don't grab mutex in zram_slot_free_noity")
introduced pending zram slot free in zram's write path in case of
missing slot free by memory allocation failure in zram_slot_free_notify
but it is not necessary because we have already freed the slot right
before overwriting.

zram: delay pending free request in read path

2014-01-31T00:56:55+00:00

Sergey reported we don't need to handle pending free request every I/O
so that this patch removes it in read path while we remain it in write
path.

Let's consider below example.

Swap subsystem ask to zram "A" block free by swap_slot_free_notify but
zram had been pended it without real freeing.  Swap subsystem allocates
"A" block for new data but request pended for a long time just handled
and zram blindly free new data on the "A" block.  :(

That's why we couldn't remove handle pending free request right before
zram-write.

zram: fix race between reset and flushing pending work

2014-01-31T00:56:55+00:00

Dan and Sergey reported that there is a racy between reset and flushing
of pending work so that it could make oops by freeing zram->meta in
reset while zram_slot_free can access zram->meta if new request is
adding during the race window.

This patch moves flush after taking init_lock so it prevents new request
so that it closes the race.
