Currently, we use a rwlock tb_lock to protect concurrent access to
the whole zram meta table. However, according to the actual access model,
there is only a small chance for upper user to access the same table[index],
so the current lock granularity is too big.
The idea of optimization is to change the lock granularity from whole
meta table to per table entry (table -> table[index]), so that we can
protect concurrent access to the same table[index], meanwhile allow
the maximum concurrency.
With this in mind, several kinds of locks which could be used as a
per-entry lock were tested and compared:
Test environment:
x86-64 Intel Core2 Q8400, system memory 4GB, Ubuntu 12.04,
kernel v3.15.0-rc3 as base, zram with 4 max_comp_streams LZO.
iozone test:
iozone -t 4 -R -r 16K -s 200M -I +Z
(1GB zram with ext4 filesystem, take the average of 10 tests, KB/s)
Test base CAS spinlock rwlock bit_spinlock

To enhance the possibility of access the same table[index] concurrently,
set zram a small disksize(10MB) and let threads run with large loop count.
fio test:
fio --bs=32k --randrepeat=1 --randseed=100 --refill_buffers
--scramble_buffers=1 --direct=1 --loops=3000 --numjobs=4

All the optimization methods show a higher performance than the base,
however, it is hard to say which method is the most appropriate.
On the other hand, zram is mostly used on small embedded system, so we
don't want to increase any memory footprint.
This patch pick the bit_spinlock method, pack object size and page_flag
into an unsigned long table.value, so as to not increase any memory
overhead on both 32-bit and 64-bit system.
On the third hand, even though different kinds of locks have different
performances, we can ignore this difference, because:
if zram is used as zram swapfile, the swap subsystem can prevent concurrent
access to the same swapslot;
if zram is used as zram-blk for set up filesystem on it, the upper filesystem
and the page cache also prevent concurrent access of the same block mostly.
So we can ignore the different performances among locks.
Changes since v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/5/1
- replace CAS method with bit_spinlock method
- rename zram_test_flag() to zram_test_zero()
- add some comments
Changes since v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/15/113
- change size type from int to size_t in zram_set_obj_size()
- refactor zram_set_obj_size() to make it readable
- add comments
Changes since v3: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/3/146
- drop stack footprint stuff
- drop zram-zero specific functions
- change some comments
- drop discard bio lock comment
