2ccbec05ac zram: Fix sparse warnings
Fixes sparse warning:
zram_drv.c:666:6: warning: symbol 'zram_slot_free_notify' was not
declared. Should it be static?

Also, max_zpage_size is now size_t just to be consistent with data-type
of other variables maintaining sizes of various kinds.

5a18c53147 staging: zram: prevent accessing an unallocated table when init fails early
When the allocation of zram->table fails, we set zram->disksize to zero
to prevent accessing the unallocated table entries during cleanup.
However, we currently don't take this precaution when the initialization
fails earlier.

0900beae17 staging: zram: fix zram locking
Currently init_lock only prevents concurrent execution of zram_init_device()
and zram_reset_device() but not zram_make_request() nor sysfs store functions.

This patch changes init_lock into a rw_semaphore. A write lock is taken by
init, reset and store functions, a read lock is taken by zram_make_request().
Also, avoids to release the lock before calling __zram_reset_device() for
cleaning after a failed init, thus preventing any concurrent task to see an
inconsistent state of zram.

c5bde2388e Staging: zram: Replace mutex lock by a R/W semaphore
Currently, nothing protects zram table from concurrent access.
For instance, ZRAM_UNCOMPRESSED bit can be cleared by zram_free_page()
called from a concurrent write between the time ZRAM_UNCOMPRESSED has
been set and the time it is tested to unmap KM_USER0 in
zram_bvec_write(). This ultimately leads to kernel panic.

Also, a read request can occurs when the page has been freed by a
running write request and before it has been updated, leading to
zero filled block being incorrectly read and "Read before write"
error message.

This patch replace the current mutex by a rw_semaphore. It extends
the protection to zram table (currently, only compression buffers are
protected) and read requests (currently, only write requests are
protected).

924bd88d70 Staging: zram: allow partial page operations
Commit 7b19b8d45b (zram: Prevent overflow
in logical block size) introduced ZRAM_LOGICAL_BLOCK_SIZE constant to
prevent overflow of logical block size on 64k page kernel.
However, the current implementation of zram only allow operation on block
of the same size as a page. That makes theorically legit 4k requests fail
on 64k page kernel.

This patch makes zram allow operation on partial pages. Basically, it
means we still do operations on full pages internally, but only copy the
relevent segments from/to the user memory.

3c8bb7aab9 staging: Allow sharing xvmalloc for zram and zcache
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

So, we now compile xvmalloc separately and export its symbols
which are then used by both of zram and zcache.

939b3f0b14 zram/xvmalloc: combine duplicate block delete code
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.

2787f959d6 zram: Return zero'd pages on new reads
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.

e3f201b541 zram/xvmalloc: free bit block insertion optimization
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.

f3bc232c2e zram/vmalloc: Correct tunings to enable use with 64K pages
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

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.

e983dc2428 Revert "Staging: zram: work around oops due to startup ordering snafu"
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
zram_make_request before the device has been initialised. The patch below
fixes the immediate problem but this would go away if we move the
initialisation function elsewhere (as suggested in another thread).

484875adbc Staging: zram: Remove need for explicit device initialization
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.

33863c21e6 Staging: zram: Replace ioctls with sysfs interface
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.
