Patch series "zram: introduce custom comp backends API", v7. This series introduces support for run-time compression algorithms tuning, so users, for instance, can adjust compression/acceleration levels and provide pre-trained compression/decompression dictionaries which certain algorithms support. At this point we stop supporting (old/deprecated) comp API. We may add new acomp API support in the future, but before that zram needs to undergo some major rework (we are not ready for async compression). Some benchmarks for reference (look at column #2) *** init zstd /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750659072 504622188 514355200 0 514355200 1 0 34204 34204 *** init zstd dict=/home/ss/zstd-dict-amd64 /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750650880 465908890 475398144 0 475398144 1 0 34185 34185 *** init zstd level=8 dict=/home/ss/zstd-dict-amd64 /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750654976 430803319 439873536 0 439873536 1 0 34185 34185 *** init lz4 /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750646784 664266564 677060608 0 677060608 1 0 34288 34288 *** init lz4 dict=/home/ss/lz4-dict-amd64 /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750650880 619990300 632102912 0 632102912 1 0 34278 34278 *** init lz4hc /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750630400 609023822 621232128 0 621232128 1 0 34288 34288 *** init lz4hc dict=/home/ss/lz4-dict-amd64 /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750659072 505133172 515231744 0 515231744 1 0 34278 34278 Recompress init zram zstd (prio=0), zstd level=5 (prio 1), zstd with dict (prio 2) *** zstd /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750982656 504630584 514269184 0 514269184 1 0 34204 34204 *** idle recompress priority=1 (zstd level=5) /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750982656 488645601 525438976 0 514269184 1 0 34204 34204 *** idle recompress priority=2 (zstd dict) /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat 1750982656 460869640 517914624 0 514269184 1 0 34185 34204 This patch (of 24): We need to export a number of API functions that enable advanced zstd usage - C/D dictionaries, dictionaries sharing between contexts, etc. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240902105656.1383858-1-senozhatsky@chromium.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240902105656.1383858-2-senozhatsky@chromium.orgSigned-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@chromium.org> Cc: Nick Terrell <terrelln@fb.com> Cc: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
