[patch 82/86] zcache: Set SWIZ_BITS to 8 to reduce tmem bucket lock contention.

[Greg KH <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

3.2-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com>

commit e8b4553457e78bcff90f70a31212a40a8fd4f0db upstream.

SWIZ_BITS > 8 results in a much larger number of "tmem_obj"
allocations, likely one per page-placed-in-frontswap.  The
tmem_obj is not huge (roughly 100 bytes), but it is large
enough to add a not-insignificant memory overhead to zcache.

The SWIZ_BITS=8  will get roughly the same lock contention
without the space wastage.

The effect of SWIZ_BITS can be thought of as "2^SWIZ_BITS is
the number of unique oids that be generated" (This concept is
limited to frontswap's use of tmem).
