Both zram and zcache use xvmalloc allocator. If xvmalloc
is compiled separately for both of them, we will get linker
error if they are both selected as "built-in". We can also
get linker error regarding missing xvmalloc symbols if zram
is not built.
So, we now compile xvmalloc separately and export its symbols
which are then used by both of zram and zcache.

Currently the device is initialized when first write is done to the
device. Any read attempt before the first write would fail, including
"hidden" read the user may not know about (as for example if he tries
to write a partial block).
This patch initializes the device on first request, whether read or
write.

This patch eliminates duplicate code. The remove_block_head function
is a special case of remove_block which can be contained in remove_block
without confusion.
The portion of code in remove_block_head which was noted as "DEBUG ONLY"
is now mandatory. Doing this provides consistent management of the double
linked list of blocks under a freelist and makes this consolidation
of delete block code safe. The first and last blocks will have NULL
pointers in their previous and next page pointers respectively.
Additionally, any time a block is removed from a free list the next and
previous pointers will be set to NULL to avoid misuse outside xvmalloc.

Currently zram will do nothing to the page in the bvec when that page
has not been previously written. This allows random data to leak to
user space. That can be seen by doing the following:
## Load the module and create a 256Mb zram device called /dev/zram0
# modprobe zram
# echo $((256*1024*1024)) > /sys/class/block/zram0/disksize
## Initialize the device by writing zero to the first block
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/zram0 bs=512 count=1
## Read ~256Mb of memory into a file and hope for something interesting
# dd if=/dev/zram0 of=file
This patch will treat an unwritten page as a zero-filled page. If a
page is read before a write has occurred the data returned is all 0's.

This change is in a conditional block which is entered only when there is
an existing data block on the freelist where the insert has taken place.
The new block is pushed onto the freelist stack and this conditional block
is updating links in the prior stack head to point to the new stack head.
After this conditional block the first-/second-level indices are updated
to indicate that there is a free block at this location.
This patch adds an immediate return from the conditional block to avoid
setting bits again to indicate a free block on this freelist. The bits
would already be set because there was an existing free block on this
freelist.

xvmalloc will not currently function with 64K pages. Newly allocated
pages will be inserted at an offset beyond the end of the first-level
index. This tuning is needed to properly size the allocator for 64K
pages.
The default 3 byte shift results in a second level list size which can not
be indexed using the 64 bits of the flbitmap in the xv_pool structure.
The shift must increase to 4 bytes between second level list entries to
fit the size of the first level bitmap.
Here are a few statistics for structure sizes on 32- and 64-bit CPUs
with 4KB and 64KB page sizes.
bits_per_long 32 64 64
page_size 4,096 4,096 65,535
xv_align 4 8 8
fl_delta 3 3 4
num_free_lists 508 508 4,094
xv_pool size 4,144b 8,216b 66,040b
per object overhead 32 64 64
zram struct 0.5GB disk 512KB 1024KB 64KB
This patch maintains the current tunings for 4K pages, adds an optimal
sizing for 64K pages and adds a safe tuning for any other page sizes.

This reverts commit 7e24cce38a because it
was never appropriate for mainline.
Do not check for init flag before starting I/O - zram module is unusable
without this fix.
The oops mentioned in the reverted commit message was actually a problem
only with the zram version as present in project's own repository where
we allocate struct zram_stats_cpu upon device initialization. OTOH, In
mainline/staging version of zram, we allocate struct stats upfront, so
this oops cannot happen in mainline version.
Checking for init_done flag in zram_make_request() results in a *no-op*
for any I/O operation since we simply always return success. This flag
is actually set when the first write occurs on a zram disk which
triggers its initialization.

Since disksize no longer starts as 0 it looks like we can call

Currently, the user has to explicitly write a positive value to
initstate sysfs node before the device can be used. This event
triggers allocation of per-device metadata like memory pool,
table array and so on.
We do not pre-initialize all zram devices since the 'table' array,
mapping disk blocks to compressed chunks, takes considerable amount
of memory (8 bytes per page). So, pre-initializing all devices will
be quite wasteful if only few or none of the devices are actually
used.
This explicit device initialization from user is an odd requirement and
can be easily avoided. We now initialize the device when first write is
done to the device.

Creates per-device sysfs nodes in /sys/block/zram<id>/
Currently following stats are exported:
- disksize
- num_reads
- num_writes
- invalid_io
- zero_pages
- orig_data_size
- compr_data_size
- mem_used_total
By default, disksize is set to 0. So, to start using
a zram device, fist write a disksize value and then
initialize device by writing any positive value to
initstate. For example:
# initialize /dev/zram0 with 50MB disksize
echo 50*1024*1024 | bc > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/initstate
When done using a disk, issue reset to free its memory
by writing any positive value to reset node:
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset
This change also obviates the need for 'rzscontrol' utility.
