zsmalloc: remove extra cond_resched() in __zs_compact

2015-04-15T23:35:22+00:00

Do not perform cond_resched() before the busy compaction loop in
__zs_compact(), because this loop does it when needed.

zsmalloc: fix fatal corruption due to wrong size class selection

2015-04-15T23:35:22+00:00

There is no point in overriding the size class below.  It causes fatal
corruption on the next chunk on the 3264-bytes size class, which is the
last size class that is not huge.

For example, if the requested size was exactly 3264 bytes, current
zsmalloc allocates and returns a chunk from the size class of 3264 bytes,
not 4096.  User access to this chunk may overwrite head of the next
adjacent chunk.

Here is the panic log captured when freelist was corrupted due to this:

zsmalloc: remove unnecessary insertion/removal of zspage in compaction

2015-04-15T23:35:22+00:00

In putback_zspage, we don't need to insert a zspage into list of zspage
in size_class again to just fix fullness group. We could do directly
without reinsertion so we could save some instuctions.

zsmalloc: micro-optimize zs_object_copy()

2015-04-15T23:35:22+00:00

A micro-optimization.  Avoid additional branching and reduce (a bit)
registry pressure (f.e.  s_off += size; d_off += size; may be calculated
twise: first for >= PAGE_SIZE check and later for offset update in "else"
clause).

scripts/bloat-o-meter shows some improvement
