xvmalloc is a memory allocator designed specifically for ramzswap project.
* Features:
- Low metadata overhead (just 4 bytes per object)
- O(1) Alloc/Free - except when we have to call system page allocator to
get additional memory.
- Very low fragmentation: In all tests, xvMalloc memory usage is within 12%
of "Ideal".
One of the main highlights is that it maps pages only when required.
So, it does not hog vmalloc area which is very small on 32-bit systems.
SLUB allocator could not be used due to fragmentation issues:
http://code.google.com/p/compcache/wiki/AllocatorsComparison
Data here shows kmalloc using ~43% more memory than TLSF and xvMalloc
is showed ~2% more space efficiency than TLSF (due to smaller metadata).
Creating various kmem_caches can reduce space efficiency gap but still
problem of being limited to low memory exists. Also, it depends on
allocating higher order pages to reduce fragmentation - this is not
acceptable for ramzswap as it is used under memory crunch (its a swap
device!).
SLOB allocator could not be used do to reasons mentioned here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/18/210
* Implementation:
It uses two-level bitmap search to find free list containing block of
correct size. This idea is taken from TLSF (Two-Level Segregate Fit)
allocator and is well explained in its paper (see [Links] below).
Highlights:
- Pool based allocator: each pool can grow/shrink.
- Immediate coalescing of free blocks.
- Maps/Unmaps memory pages only when required.
* Limitations:
- Poor scalability: No per-cpu data structures (work in progress).

Creates RAM based block device (ramzswap0) which can be used as swap device.
Pages swapped to this are compressed and stored in memory itself.
The module is called ramzswap.ko. It depends on:
- xvmalloc.ko: memory allocator
- lzo_compress.ko
- lzo_decompress.ko
See Documentation/blockdev/ramzswap.txt for usage details.
