[PATCHv1 0/6] zsmalloc: preemptible object mapping

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Wed Jan 29 2025 - 01:49:10 EST


This is Part II of the series [1] that makes zram read() and write()
preemptible. This part focuses only zsmalloc because zsmalloc imposes
atomicity restrictions on its users. One notable example is object
mapping API, which returns with:
a) local CPU lock held
b) zspage rwlock held

First, zsmalloc is converted to use sleepable RW-"lock" (it's atomic_t
in fact) for zspage migration protection. Second, a new handle mapping
is introduced which doesn't use per-CPU buffers (and hence no local CPU
lock), does fewer memcpy() calls, but requires users to provide a
pointer to temp buffer for object copy-in (when needed). Third, zram is
converted to the new zsmalloc mapping API and thus zram read() becomes
preemptible.

RFC -> v1:
- Only zspage->lock (leaf-lock for zs_map_object()) is converted
to a preemptible lock. The rest of the zspool locks remain the
same (Yosry hated with passion the fact that in RFC series all
zspool looks would become preemptible).
- New zs object mapping API (Yosry hated RFC API with passion).
We know have obj_read_begin()/obj_read_end() and obj_write().
- obj_write() saves extra memcpy() calls for objects that span two
physical pages.
- Dropped zram deferred slot-free-notification handling (I hated
it with passion)

Sergey Senozhatsky (6):
zsmalloc: factor out pool locking helpers
zsmalloc: factor out size-class locking helpers
zsmalloc: make zspage lock preemptible
zsmalloc: introduce new object mapping API
zram: switch to new zsmalloc object mapping API
zram: add might_sleep to zcomp API
