[PATCH v1 4/8] crypto: acomp - Add API to get a compression algorithm's batch-size.
From: Kanchana P. Sridhar
Date: Thu Oct 08 2026 - 14:29:34 EST
This commit adds a @batch_size data member to struct acomp_alg.
An acomp_alg compression algorithm that supports batching of
compressions and decompressions must provide a @batch_size greater
than 1, representing the maximum batch-size that the compressor
supports, so that kernel users of crypto_acomp, such as zswap, can
allocate resources for submitting multiple compress/decompress jobs that
can be batched, and invoke batching of [de]compressions.
The new crypto_acomp_batch_size() API queries the crypto_acomp's
acomp_alg for the batch-size. If the acomp_alg has registered a
@batch_size greater than 1, this is returned. If not, a default of "1"
is returned.
zswap can invoke crypto_acomp_batch_size() to query the maximum number
of requests that can be batch [de]compressed. Based on this, zswap
can use the minimum of any zswap-specific upper limits for batch-size
and the compressor's max @batch_size, to allocate batching resources.
This enables zswap to compress/decompress multiple pages as a batch
to improve swapout/swapin performance and memory savings.
