Patch series "zram idle page writeback", v3. Inherently, swap device has many idle pages which are rare touched since it was allocated. It is never problem if we use storage device as swap. However, it's just waste for zram-swap. This patchset supports zram idle page writeback feature. * Admin can define what is idle page "no access since X time ago" * Admin can define when zram should writeback them * Admin can define when zram should stop writeback to prevent wearout Details are in each patch's description.

However, bitmap_lock is not aware of that so lockdep yell out: get_entry_bdev spin_lock(bitmap->lock); irq softirq end_swap_bio_read zram_slot_free_notify zram_slot_lock <-- deadlock prone zram_free_page put_entry_bdev spin_lock(bitmap->lock); <-- deadlock prone With akpm's suggestion (i.e. bitmap operation is already atomic), we could remove bitmap lock. It might fail to find a empty slot if serious contention happens. However, it's not severe problem because huge page writeback has already possiblity to fail if there is severe memory pressure. Worst case is just keeping the incompressible in memory, not storage. The other problem is zram_slot_lock in zram_slot_slot_free_notify. To make it safe is this patch introduces zram_slot_trylock where zram_slot_free_notify uses it. Although it's rare to be contented, this patch adds new debug stat "miss_free" to keep monitoring how often it happens.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
