[V2: rebased to apply to 20120905 staging-next, no other changes] This slightly modified ramster codebase is now built entirely on zcache2 and all ramster-specific code is fully contained in a subdirectory. Ramster extends zcache2 to allow pages compressed via zcache2 to be "load-balanced" across machines in a cluster. Control and data communication is done via kernel sockets, and cluster configuration and management is heavily leveraged from the ocfs2 cluster filesystem. There are no new features since the codebase introduced into staging at 3.4. Some cleanup was performed though: 1) Interfaces directly with new zbud 2) Debugfs now used instead of sysfs where possible. Sysfs still used where necessary for userland cluster configuration. Ramster is very much a work-in-progress but also does really work! RAMSTER HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW (from original V5 posting in Feb 2012) RAMster implements peer-to-peer transcendent memory, allowing a "cluster" of kernels to dynamically pool their RAM so that a RAM-hungry workload on one machine can temporarily and transparently utilize RAM on another machine which is presumably idle or running a non-RAM-hungry workload. Other than the already-merged cleancache patchset and frontswap patchset, no core kernel changes are currently required. (Note that, unlike previous public descriptions of RAMster, this implementation does NOT require synchronous "gets" or core networking changes. As of V5, it also co-exists with ocfs2.) RAMster combines a clustering and messaging foundation based on the ocfs2 cluster layer with the in-kernel compression implementation of zcache2, and adds code to glue them together. When a page is "put" to RAMster, it is compressed and stored locally. Periodically, a thread will "remotify" these pages by sending them via messages to a remote machine. When the page is later needed as indicated by a page fault, a "get" is issued. If the data is local, it is uncompressed and the fault is resolved. If the data is remote, a message is sent to fetch the data and the faulting thread sleeps; when the data arrives, the thread awakens, the data is decompressed and the fault is resolved. As of V5, clusters up to eight nodes are supported; each node can remotify pages to one specified node, so clusters can be configured as clients to a "memory server". Some simple policy is in place that will need to be refined over time. Larger clusters and fault-resistant protocols can also be added over time.

[V2: rebased to apply to 20120905 staging-next, no other changes] The original zcache in staging is a "demo" version, and this is a massive rewrite. This was intended to result in a merged zcache and ramster, but that option has been blocked so, to continue forward progress on ramster and future related projects, only ramster moves to the new codebase. To differentiate between the old demo zcache and the rewrite, we refer to the latter as zcache2, config'd as CONFIG_ZCACHE2. Zcache and zcache2 cannot be built in the same kernel, so CONFIG_ZCACHE2 implies !CONFIG_ZCACHE. This developer still has hope that zcache and zcache2 will be merged into one codebase. Until then, zcache2 can be considered a one-node version of ramster. No history of changes was recorded during the zcache2 rewrite and recreating a sane one would be a Sisyphean task but, since ramster is still in staging and has been unchanged since it was merged, presumably this is acceptable. This commit also provides the hooks in zcache2 for ramster, but all ramster-specific code is provided in a separate commit. Some of the highlights of this rewritten codebase for zcache2: (Note: If you are not familiar with the tmem terminology, you can review it here: http://lwn.net/Articles/454795/ ) 1. Merge of "demo" zcache and the v1.1 version of zcache in ramster. Zcache and ramster had a great deal of duplicate code which is now merged. In essence, zcache2 *is* ramster but with no remote machine available, but !CONFIG_RAMSTER will avoid compiling lots of ramster-specific code. 2. Allocator. Previously, persistent pools used zsmalloc and ephemeral pools used zbud. Now a completely rewritten zbud is used for both. Notably this zbud maintains all persistent (frontswap) and ephemeral (cleancache) pageframes in separate queues in LRU order. 3. Interaction with page allocator. Zbud does no page allocation/freeing, it is done entirely in zcache2 where it can be tracked more effectively. 4. Better pre-allocation. Previously, on put, if a new pageframe could not be pre-allocated, the put would fail, even if the allocator had plenty of partial pages where the data could be stored; this is now fixed. 5. Ouroboros ("eating its own tail") allocation. If no pageframe can be allocated AND no partial pages are available, the least-recently-used ephemeral pageframe is reclaimed immediately (including flushing tmem pointers to it) and re-used. This ensures that most-recently-used cleancache pages are more likely to be retained than LRU pages and also that, as in the core mm subsystem, anonymous pages have a higher priority than clean page cache pages. 6. Zcache and zbud now use debugfs instead of sysfs. Ramster uses debugfs where possible and sysfs where necessary. (Some ramster configuration is done from userspace so some sysfs is necessary.) 7. Modularization. As some have observed, the monolithic zcache-main.c code included zbud code, which has now been separated into its own code module. Much ramster-specific code in the old ramster zcache-main.c has also been moved into ramster.c so that it does not get compiled with !CONFIG_RAMSTER. 8. Rebased to 3.5. This new codebase also provides hooks for several future new features: A. WasActive patch, requires some mm/frontswap changes previously posted. A new version of this patch will be provided separately. See ifdef __PG_WAS_ACTIVE B. Exclusive gets. It seems tmem _can_ support exclusive gets with a minor change to both zcache2 and a small backwards-compatible change to frontswap.c. Explanation and frontswap patch will be provided separately. See ifdef FRONTSWAP_HAS_EXCLUSIVE_GETS C. Ouroboros writeback. Since persistent (frontswap) pages may now also be reclaimed in LRU order, the foundation is in place to properly writeback these pages back into the swap cache and then the swap disk. This is still under development and requires some other mm changes which are prototyped. See ifdef FRONTSWAP_HAS_UNUSE. A new feature that desperately needs attention (if someone is looking for a way to contribute) is kernel module support. A preliminary version of a patch was posted by Erlangen University and needs to be integrated and tested for zcache2 and brought up to kernel standards. If anybody is interested on helping out with any of these, let me know!

Now that this driver no longer supports "manual" attachment of PCI devices in its `attach` hook (`das08_attach()`), it no longer has code that searches for a suitable PCI device and increments its reference count. Since the driver no longer has any reason for incrementing and decrementing the PCI device's reference count, the calls to `pci_dev_get()` and `pci_dev_put()` can be removed.

The addi_amcc_S5920.h file has a prototype for this function and a couple defines for the magic numbers used when accessing the eeprom. The .c file is not actually built by any .config selection, or by an The .h file is only #include'd by the hwdrv_apci3200.c file. That file actually has a local version of the i_AddiHeaderRW_ReadEeprom() function that is identical to the one in the .c file.

Using 32 bits allows us to define IPACK_ANY_ID as (~0) without interfering with the valid ids.
