[PATCH 01/10] zcache: fix preemptable memory allocation in atomic context

[PATCH 01/10] zcache: fix preemptable memory allocation in atomic context

[Xiao Guangrong]

zcache_do_preload uses ZCACHE_GFP_MASK to allocate memory that will be sleep,
but zcache_do_preload is called in zcache_put_page where IRQ is disabled

Fix it by use GFP_ATOMIC flag

[PATCH 02/10] zcache: fix refcount leak

[Xiao Guangrong]

In zcache_get_pool_by_id, the refcount of zcache_host is not increased, but
it is always decreased in zcache_put_pool

(Nitin Gupta and Konrad Wilk cc'ed to call their attention
to this patch sequence...)

My preference would be to fix it the opposite way, by
checking and ignoring zcache_host in zcache_put_pool.
The ref-counting is to ensure that a client isn't
accidentally destroyed while in use (for multiple-client
users such as ramster and kvm) and since zcache_host is a static
struct, it should never be deleted so need not be ref-counted.

If we do that, we'll need to comment it.  If we don't, it won't be
obvious why we are refcounting every zcache client except one.  It'll
look like a bug.

Hmm...But i notice that zcache_host is the same as other clients, all
of them are static struct:

| static struct zcache_client zcache_host;
| static struct zcache_client zcache_clients[MAX_CLIENTS];

And all of them are not destroyed.

Yes, the code currently in zcache was a first step towards
supporting multiple clients.  Ramster goes one step further
and kvm will require even a tiny bit more work.

FYI, I'm working on a unification version of zcache that can support
all of these cleanly as well as better support for eviction
that will make standalone zcache more suitable for promotion from
staging and enterprise-ready.  Due to various summer commitments,
it will probably be a few weeks before it is ready for posting.

So, do you mind we increase the refcount for all clients (zcache host and
other clients) first? Like my origin patch?

What about adding a default case in the switch like this?

default:
	ret = -EINVAL;

That way we don't assign ret twice.

Did you get a might_sleep warning on this?  I haven't seen this being an
issue.

GFP_ATOMIC only modifies the existing mask to allow allocation use the
emergency pool.  It is __GFP_WAIT not being set that prevents sleep.  We
don't want to use the emergency pool since we make large, long lived
allocations with this mask.

Ah, yes, i thought only GFP_ATOMIC can prevent sleep, thank you very much

After this series is redone, right?  As it is, this submission didn't
look ok, so I'm hoping a second round is forthcoming...
