   5 *
   6 * Concepts based on zcache internal zbud allocator by Dan Magenheimer.
   7 *
   8 * zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.  Contrary
   9 * to what its name may suggest, zbud is not a buddy allocator, but rather an
  10 * allocator that "buddies" two compressed pages together in a single memory
  11 * page.
  12 *
  13 * While this design limits storage density, it has simple and deterministic
  14 * reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher density approach when
  15 * reclaim will be used.
  16 *
  17 * zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs in a
  18 * single memory page called a "zbud page".  The first buddy is "left
  19 * justified" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is "right
  20 * justified" at the end of the zbud page.  The benefit is that if either
  21 * buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever slack space
  22 * that existed between the buddies, results in the largest possible free region
  23 * within the zbud page.
  24 *
  25 * zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density. The ratio of zpages
  26 * to zbud pages can not be less than 1.  This ensures that zbud can never "do
  27 * harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the uncompressed zpages would
  28 * have used on their own.
  29 *
  30 * zbud pages are divided into "chunks".  The size of the chunks is fixed at
  31 * compile time and determined by NCHUNKS_ORDER below.  Dividing zbud pages
  32 * into chunks allows organizing unbuddied zbud pages into a manageable number
  33 * of unbuddied lists according to the number of free chunks available in the
  34 * zbud page.
  35 *
  36 * The zbud API differs from that of conventional allocators in that the
  37 * allocation function, zbud_alloc(), returns an opaque handle to the user,
  38 * not a dereferenceable pointer.  The user must map the handle using
  39 * zbud_map() in order to get a usable pointer by which to access the
  40 * allocation data and unmap the handle with zbud_unmap() when operations
  41 * on the allocation data are complete.

  63 * allocation granularity will be in chunks of size PAGE_SIZE/64. As one chunk
  64 * in allocated page is occupied by zbud header, NCHUNKS will be calculated to
  65 * 63 which shows the max number of free chunks in zbud page, also there will be

 466/**
 467 * zbud_reclaim_page() - evicts allocations from a pool page and frees it
 468 * @pool:       pool from which a page will attempt to be evicted
 469 * @retires:    number of pages on the LRU list for which eviction will
 470 *              be attempted before failing
 471 *
 472 * zbud reclaim is different from normal system reclaim in that the reclaim is
 473 * done from the bottom, up.  This is because only the bottom layer, zbud, has
 474 * information on how the allocations are organized within each zbud page. This
 475 * has the potential to create interesting locking situations between zbud and
 476 * the user, however.
 477 *
 478 * To avoid these, this is how zbud_reclaim_page() should be called:
 479
 480 * The user detects a page should be reclaimed and calls zbud_reclaim_page().
 481 * zbud_reclaim_page() will remove a zbud page from the pool LRU list and call
 482 * the user-defined eviction handler with the pool and handle as arguments.
 483 *
 484 * If the handle can not be evicted, the eviction handler should return
 485 * non-zero. zbud_reclaim_page() will add the zbud page back to the
 486 * appropriate list and try the next zbud page on the LRU up to
 487 * a user defined number of retries.
 488 *
 489 * If the handle is successfully evicted, the eviction handler should
 490 * return 0 _and_ should have called zbud_free() on the handle. zbud_free()
 491 * contains logic to delay freeing the page if the page is under reclaim,
 492 * as indicated by the setting of the PG_reclaim flag on the underlying page.
 493 *
 494 * If all buddies in the zbud page are successfully evicted, then the
 495 * zbud page can be freed.
 496 *
 497 * Returns: 0 if page is successfully freed, otherwise -EINVAL if there are
 498 * no pages to evict or an eviction handler is not registered, -EAGAIN if
 499 * the retry limit was hit.
