[PATCH V2 2/2] zswap: Add module parameter malloc_movable_if_support

From: Hui Zhu
Date: Sun Jun 02 2019 - 05:50:55 EST

This is the second version that was updated according to the comments
from Sergey Senozhatsky in https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/29/73

zswap compresses swap pages into a dynamically allocated RAM-based
memory pool. The memory pool should be zbud, z3fold or zsmalloc.
All of them will allocate unmovable pages. It will increase the
number of unmovable page blocks that will bad for anti-fragment.

zsmalloc support page migration if request movable page:
handle = zs_malloc(zram->mem_pool, comp_len,
GFP_NOIO | __GFP_HIGHMEM |
__GFP_MOVABLE);

And commit "zpool: Add malloc_support_movable to zpool_driver" add
zpool_malloc_support_movable check malloc_support_movable to make
sure if a zpool support allocate movable memory.

This commit adds module parameter malloc_movable_if_support to enable
or disable zpool allocate block with gfp __GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_MOVABLE
if it support allocate movable memory (disabled by default).

Following part is test log in a pc that has 8G memory and 2G swap.

You can see that the number of unmovable page blocks is decreased
when malloc_movable_if_support is enabled.
