[PATCHv3 3/4] zram: support multi compressing buffers

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Tue Feb 11 2014 - 17:25:18 EST


1) Extend zram_comp zcomp_create() with `num_wm' parameter.
`num_wm' limits the number of workmem structs in compression
backend's idle list (max buffers).

2) Introduce zram device attribute max_buffers to show and
store current device's zram_comp max number (num_wm) of workmems.

Usage example:
echo 4 > /sys/block/zram0/max_buffers

set max_buffers to 4

cat /sys/block/zram0/max_buffers

show current max_buffers (default value is 1).

iozone -t -T -R -l 3 -u 3 -r 16K -s 60M -I +Z
(write tests. ext4, lzo, each test performed on newly created
zram0 device)

test max_buffers 1 max_buffers 3
---------------------------------------------------
" Initial write " 631583.39 | 727834.88
" Rewrite " 456248.23 | 2105054.97
