mm: remove compressed copy from zram in-memory
Swap subsystem does lazy swap slot free with expecting the page would be swapped out again so we can avoid unnecessary write. But the problem in in-memory swap(ex, zram) is that it consumes memory space until vm_swap_full(ie, used half of all of swap device) condition meet. It could be bad if we use multiple swap device, small in-memory swap and big storage swap or in-memory swap alone. This patch makes swap subsystem free swap slot as soon as swap-read is completed and make the swapcache page dirty so the page should be written out the swap device to reclaim it. It means we never lose it. I tested this patch with kernel compile workload. 1. before compile time : 9882.42 zram max wasted space by fragmentation: 13471881 byte memory space consumed by zram: 174227456 byte the number of slot free notify: 206684 2. after compile time : 9653.90 zram max wasted space by fragmentation: 11805932 byte memory space consumed by zram: 154001408 byte the number of slot free notify: 426972 [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak comment text] [artem.savkov@gmail.com: fix BUG due to non-swapcache pages in end_swap_bio_read()] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: invert unlikely() test, augment comment, 80-col cleanup] Signed-off-by: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Artem Savkov <artem.savkov@gmail.com> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Seth Jennings <sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad@darnok.org> Cc: Shaohua Li <shli@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Change-Id: I8f11fb7f0391954435002e7f290352f311c907d4 Signed-off-by: Paul Reioux <reioux@gmail.com> Conflicts: mm/page_io.c
