[PATCH V3 2/2] zswap: Use movable memory if zpool support allocate movable memory

From: Hui Zhu
Date: Wed Jun 05 2019 - 06:10:58 EST


This is the third version that was updated according to the comments
from Sergey Senozhatsky https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/29/73 and
Shakeel Butt https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/4/973

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 let zswap allocate block with gfp
__GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_MOVABLE if zpool support allocate movable memory.

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 the kernel has this commit.
