Contrary + * to what its name may suggest, zbud is not a buddy allocator, but rather an + * allocator that "buddies" two compressed pages together in a single memory + * page. + * + * While this design limits storage density, it has simple and deterministic + * reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher density approach when + * reclaim will be used. + * + * zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs in a + * single memory page called a "zbud page". The first buddy is "left + * justifed" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is "right + * justified" at the end of the zbud page. The benefit is that if either + * buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever slack space + * that existed between the buddies, results in the largest possible free region + * within the zbud page. + * + * zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density. The ratio of zpages + * to zbud pages can not be less than 1. This ensures that zbud can never "do + * harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the uncompressed zpages would + * have used on their own. + * + * zbud pages are divided into "chunks". The size of the chunks is fixed at + * compile time and determined by NCHUNKS_ORDER below. Dividing zbud pages + * into chunks allows organizing unbuddied zbud pages into a manageable number + * of unbuddied lists according to the number of free chunks available in the + * zbud page. + * + * The zbud API differs from that of conventional allocators in that the + * allocation function, zbud_alloc(), returns an opaque handle to the user, + * not a dereferenceable pointer. The user must map the handle using + * zbud_map() in order to get a usable pointer by which to access the + * allocation data and unmap the handle with zbud_unmap() when operations + * on the allocation data are complete. + */ + +#define pr_fmt(fmt) KBUILD_MODNAME ": " fmt + +#include <linux/atomic.h> +#include <linux/list.h> +#include <linux/mm.h> +#include <linux/module.h> +#include <linux/preempt.h> +#include <linux/slab.h> +#include <linux/spinlock.h> +#include <linux/zbud.h> + +/***************** + * Structures +*****************/ +/* + * NCHUNKS_ORDER determines the internal allocation granularity, effectively + * adjusting internal fragmentation.
