4  * Copyright (C) 2013, Seth Jennings, IBM
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.

475  * has the potential to create interesting locking situations between zbud and

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
