[PATCH v3 0/7] zram: switch to crypto api

[PATCH v3 0/7] zram: switch to crypto api

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

Hello,

  This has started as a 'add zlib support' work, but after some
thinking I saw no blockers for a bigger change -- a switch to
crypto API.

  We don't have an idle zstreams list anymore and our write path
now works absolutely differently, preventing preemption during
compression. This removes possibilities of read paths preempting
writes at wrong places and opens the door for a move from custom
LZO/LZ4 compression backends implementation to a more generic one,
using crypto compress API.

  This patch set also eliminates the need of a new context-less
crypto API interface, which was quite hard to sell, so we can
move along faster.

v3:
-- use IS_ENABLED in the backends array, so crypto_has_comp()
   can be avoided (saving some time and memory).

v2:
-- addressed Minchan's review points
-- allow out-of-tree comp algorithms, per Minchan
-- some other cleanups, reworks and improvements

[PATCH v3 1/7] zram: rename zstrm find-release functions

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

We don't perform any zstream idle list lookup anymore, so
zcomp_strm_find()/zcomp_strm_release() names are not
representative.

Rename to zcomp_stream_get()/zcomp_stream_put().

[PATCH v3 2/7] zram: switch to crypto compress API

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

We don't have an idle zstreams list anymore and our write path
now works absolutely differently, preventing preemption during
compression. This removes possibilities of read paths preempting
writes at wrong places (which could badly affect the performance
of both paths) and at the same time opens the door for a move
from custom LZO/LZ4 compression backends implementation to a more
generic one, using crypto compress API.

Joonsoo Kim [1] attempted to do this a while ago, but faced with
the need of introducing a new crypto API interface. The root cause
was the fact that crypto API compression algorithms require a
compression stream structure (in zram terminology) for both
compression and decompression ops, while in reality only several
of compression algorithms really need it. This resulted in a
concept of context-less crypto API compression backends [2]. Both
write and read paths, though, would have been executed with the
preemption enabled, which in the worst case could have resulted
in a decreased worst-case performance, e.g. consider the
following case:

	CPU0

	zram_write()
	  spin_lock()
	    take the last idle stream
	  spin_unlock()

	<< preempted >>

		zram_read()
		  spin_lock()
		   no idle streams
			  spin_unlock()
			  schedule()

	resuming zram_write compression()

but it took me some time to realize that, and it took even longer
to evolve zram and to make it ready for crypto API. The key turned
out to be -- drop the idle streams list entirely. Without the idle
streams list we are free to use compression algorithms that require
compression stream for decompression (read), because streams are
now placed in per-cpu data and each write path has to disable
preemption for compression op, almost completely eliminating the
aforementioned case (technically, we still have a small chance,
because write path has a fast and a slow paths and the slow path
is executed with the preemption enabled; but the frequency of
failed fast path is too low).

[PATCH v3 3/7] zram: use crypto api to check alg availability

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

There is no way to get a string with all the crypto comp
algorithms supported by the crypto comp engine, so we need
to maintain our own backends list. At the same time we
additionally need to use crypto_has_comp() to make sure
that the user has requested a compression algorithm that is
recognized by the crypto comp engine. Relying on /proc/crypto
is not an options here, because it does not show not-yet-inserted
compression modules.

Example:

 modprobe zram
 cat /proc/crypto | grep -i lz4
 modprobe lz4
 cat /proc/crypto | grep -i lz4
name         : lz4
driver       : lz4-generic
module       : lz4

So the user can't tell exactly if the lz4 is really supported
from /proc/crypto output, unless someone or something has loaded
it.

This patch also adds crypto_has_comp() to zcomp_available_show().
We store all the compression algorithms names in zcomp's `backends'
array, regardless the CONFIG_CRYPTO_FOO configuration, but show
only those that are also supported by crypto engine. This helps
user to know the exact list of compression algorithms that can be
used.

Example:
  module lz4 is not loaded yet, but is supported by the crypto
  engine. /proc/crypto has no information on this module, while
  zram's `comp_algorithm' lists it:

 cat /proc/crypto | grep -i lz4

 cat /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
[lzo] lz4 deflate lz4hc 842

We still use the `backends' array to determine if the requested
compression backend is known to crypto api. This array, however,
may not contain some entries, therefore as the last step we call
crypto_has_comp() function which attempts to insmod the requested
compression algorithm to determine if crypto api supports it. The
advantage of this method is that now we permit the usage of
out-of-tree crypto compression modules (implementing S/W or H/W
compression).

[PATCH v3 6/7] zram: add more compression algorithms

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

Add "deflate", "lz4hc", "842" algorithms to the list of
known compression backends. The real availability of those
algorithms, however, depends on the corresponding
CONFIG_CRYPTO_FOO config options.
