[PATCH] mm: zswap: multiple zpool support

From: Yosry Ahmed
Date: Tue May 30 2023 - 22:29:24 EST


Support using multiple zpools of the same type in zswap, for concurrency
purposes. Add CONFIG_ZSWAP_NR_ZPOOLS_ORDER to control the number of
zpools. The order is specific by the config rather than the absolute
number to guarantee a power of 2. This is useful so that we can use
deterministically link each entry to a zpool by hashing the zswap_entry
pointer.

On a setup with zswap and zsmalloc, comparing a single zpool (current
default) to 32 zpools (by setting CONFIG_ZSWAP_NR_ZPOOLS_ORDER=32) shows
improvements in the zsmalloc lock contention, especially on the swap out
path.

The following shows the perf analysis of the swapout path when 10
workloads are simulatenously reclaiming and refaulting tmpfs pages.
There are some improvements on the swapin path as well, but much less
significant.

1 zpool:

|--28.99%--zswap_frontswap_store
| |
<snip>
| |
| |--8.98%--zpool_map_handle
| | |
| | --8.98%--zs_zpool_map
| | |
| | --8.95%--zs_map_object
| | |
| | --8.38%--_raw_spin_lock
| | |
| | --7.39%--queued_spin_lock_slowpath
| |
| |--8.82%--zpool_malloc
| | |
| | --8.82%--zs_zpool_malloc
| | |
| | --8.80%--zs_malloc
| | |
| | |--7.21%--_raw_spin_lock
| | | |
| | | --6.81%--queued_spin_lock_slowpath
<snip>

32 zpools:

|--16.73%--zswap_frontswap_store
| |
<snip>
| |
| |--1.81%--zpool_malloc
| | |
| | --1.81%--zs_zpool_malloc
| | |
| | --1.79%--zs_malloc
| | |
| | --0.73%--obj_malloc
| |
| |--1.06%--zswap_update_total_size
| |
| |--0.59%--zpool_map_handle
| | |
| | --0.59%--zs_zpool_map
| | |
| | --0.57%--zs_map_object
| | |
| | --0.51%--_raw_spin_lock
<snip>
