z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

*
* This implementation is based on zbud written by Seth Jennings.
*
* z3fold is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It
* can store up to three compressed pages per page which improves the
* compression ratio of zbud while retaining its main concepts (e. g. always
* storing an integral number of objects per page) and simplicity.
* It still has simple and deterministic reclaim properties that make it
* preferable to a higher density approach (with no requirement on integral
* number of object per page) when reclaim is used.
*
* As in zbud, pages are divided into "chunks". The size of the chunks is
* fixed at compile time and is determined by NCHUNKS_ORDER below.
*
* z3fold doesn't export any API and is meant to be used via zpool API.

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

* struct z3fold_pool - stores metadata for each z3fold pool
z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ...

The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible.

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

mm/z3fold.c: introduce helper functions Patch series "z3fold: support page migration", v2. This patchset implements page migration support and slightly better buddy search. To implement page migration support, z3fold has to move away from the current scheme of handle encoding. i. e. stop encoding page address in handles. Instead, a small per-page structure is created which will contain actual addresses for z3fold objects, while pointers to fields of that structure will be used as handles. Thus, it will be possible to change the underlying addresses to reflect page migration. To support migration itself, 3 callbacks will be implemented: 1: isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page by removing it from all lists. Pages scheduled for some activity and mapped pages will not be isolated. Return true if isolation was successful or false otherwise 2: migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the system. Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise 3: putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i. e. not with -EAGAIN code). To make sure an isolated page doesn't get freed, its kref is incremented in z3fold_page_isolate() and decremented during post-migration compaction, if migration was successful, or by z3fold_page_putback() in the other case. Since the new handle encoding scheme implies slight memory consumption increase, better buddy search (which decreases memory consumption) is included in this patchset. This patch (of 4): Introduce a separate helper function for object allocation, as well as 2 smaller helpers to add a buddy to the list and to get a pointer to the pool from the z3fold header. No functional changes here.

E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ...

mm/z3fold.c: introduce helper functions Patch series "z3fold: support page migration", v2. This patchset implements page migration support and slightly better buddy search. To implement page migration support, z3fold has to move away from the current scheme of handle encoding. i. e. stop encoding page address in handles. Instead, a small per-page structure is created which will contain actual addresses for z3fold objects, while pointers to fields of that structure will be used as handles. Thus, it will be possible to change the underlying addresses to reflect page migration. To support migration itself, 3 callbacks will be implemented: 1: isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page by removing it from all lists. Pages scheduled for some activity and mapped pages will not be isolated. Return true if isolation was successful or false otherwise 2: migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the system. Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise 3: putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i. e. not with -EAGAIN code). To make sure an isolated page doesn't get freed, its kref is incremented in z3fold_page_isolate() and decremented during post-migration compaction, if migration was successful, or by z3fold_page_putback() in the other case. Since the new handle encoding scheme implies slight memory consumption increase, better buddy search (which decreases memory consumption) is included in this patchset. This patch (of 4): Introduce a separate helper function for object allocation, as well as 2 smaller helpers to add a buddy to the list and to get a pointer to the pool from the z3fold header. No functional changes here.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

mm/z3fold.c: introduce helper functions Patch series "z3fold: support page migration", v2. This patchset implements page migration support and slightly better buddy search. To implement page migration support, z3fold has to move away from the current scheme of handle encoding. i. e. stop encoding page address in handles. Instead, a small per-page structure is created which will contain actual addresses for z3fold objects, while pointers to fields of that structure will be used as handles. Thus, it will be possible to change the underlying addresses to reflect page migration. To support migration itself, 3 callbacks will be implemented: 1: isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page by removing it from all lists. Pages scheduled for some activity and mapped pages will not be isolated. Return true if isolation was successful or false otherwise 2: migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the system. Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise 3: putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i. e. not with -EAGAIN code). To make sure an isolated page doesn't get freed, its kref is incremented in z3fold_page_isolate() and decremented during post-migration compaction, if migration was successful, or by z3fold_page_putback() in the other case. Since the new handle encoding scheme implies slight memory consumption increase, better buddy search (which decreases memory consumption) is included in this patchset. This patch (of 4): Introduce a separate helper function for object allocation, as well as 2 smaller helpers to add a buddy to the list and to get a pointer to the pool from the z3fold header. No functional changes here.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ...

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

mm/z3fold.c: introduce helper functions Patch series "z3fold: support page migration", v2. This patchset implements page migration support and slightly better buddy search. To implement page migration support, z3fold has to move away from the current scheme of handle encoding. i. e. stop encoding page address in handles. Instead, a small per-page structure is created which will contain actual addresses for z3fold objects, while pointers to fields of that structure will be used as handles. Thus, it will be possible to change the underlying addresses to reflect page migration. To support migration itself, 3 callbacks will be implemented: 1: isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page by removing it from all lists. Pages scheduled for some activity and mapped pages will not be isolated. Return true if isolation was successful or false otherwise 2: migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the system. Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise 3: putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i. e. not with -EAGAIN code). To make sure an isolated page doesn't get freed, its kref is incremented in z3fold_page_isolate() and decremented during post-migration compaction, if migration was successful, or by z3fold_page_putback() in the other case.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2.

mm/z3fold.c: introduce helper functions Patch series "z3fold: support page migration", v2. This patchset implements page migration support and slightly better buddy search. To implement page migration support, z3fold has to move away from the current scheme of handle encoding. i. e. stop encoding page address in handles. Instead, a small per-page structure is created which will contain actual addresses for z3fold objects, while pointers to fields of that structure will be used as handles. Thus, it will be possible to change the underlying addresses to reflect page migration. To support migration itself, 3 callbacks will be implemented: 1: isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page by removing it from all lists. Pages scheduled for some activity and mapped pages will not be isolated. Return true if isolation was successful or false otherwise 2: migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the system. Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise 3: putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i. e. not with -EAGAIN code). To make sure an isolated page doesn't get freed, its kref is incremented in z3fold_page_isolate() and decremented during post-migration compaction, if migration was successful, or by z3fold_page_putback() in the other case. Since the new handle encoding scheme implies slight memory consumption increase, better buddy search (which decreases memory consumption) is included in this patchset. This patch (of 4): Introduce a separate helper function for object allocation, as well as 2 smaller helpers to add a buddy to the list and to get a pointer to the pool from the z3fold header. No functional changes here.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

mm/z3fold.c: introduce helper functions Patch series "z3fold: support page migration", v2. This patchset implements page migration support and slightly better buddy search. To implement page migration support, z3fold has to move away from the current scheme of handle encoding. i. e. stop encoding page address in handles. Instead, a small per-page structure is created which will contain actual addresses for z3fold objects, while pointers to fields of that structure will be used as handles. Thus, it will be possible to change the underlying addresses to reflect page migration. To support migration itself, 3 callbacks will be implemented: 1: isolation callback: z3fold_page_isolate(): try to isolate the page by removing it from all lists. Pages scheduled for some activity and mapped pages will not be isolated. Return true if isolation was successful or false otherwise 2: migration callback: z3fold_page_migrate(): re-check critical conditions and migrate page contents to the new page provided by the system. Returns 0 on success or negative error code otherwise 3: putback callback: z3fold_page_putback(): put back the page if z3fold_page_migrate() for it failed permanently (i. e. not with -EAGAIN code). To make sure an isolated page doesn't get freed, its kref is incremented in z3fold_page_isolate() and decremented during post-migration compaction, if migration was successful, or by z3fold_page_putback() in the other case. Since the new handle encoding scheme implies slight memory consumption increase, better buddy search (which decreases memory consumption) is included in this patchset. This patch (of 4): Introduce a separate helper function for object allocation, as well as 2 smaller helpers to add a buddy to the list and to get a pointer to the pool from the z3fold header. No functional changes here.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree.

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree. This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g. ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on comments from Dan Streetman [3].

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor. This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher compression ratio. To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x. The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree.

z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio 'randrw' test with --numjobs=32. E.g. the result for 1 cluster (4 cores) is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ... While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ... The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting upon. To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible. Due to the nature of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our measurements). This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages. This is done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path. The fio results for 8-core case are now the following: Run status group 0 (all jobs): READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ... WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ... So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.
