zsmalloc: support compaction
This patch provides core functions for migration of zsmalloc. Migraion
policy is simple as follows.
for each size class {
while {
src_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY
if (!src_page)
break;
dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_FULL
if (!dst_page)
dst_page = get zs_page from ZS_ALMOST_EMPTY
if (!dst_page)
break;
migrate(from src_page, to dst_page);
}
}
For migration, we need to identify which objects in zspage are allocated
to migrate them out. We could know it by iterating of freed objects in a
zspage because first_page of zspage keeps free objects singly-linked list
but it's not efficient. Instead, this patch adds a tag(ie,
OBJ_ALLOCATED_TAG) in header of each object(ie, handle) so we could check
whether the object is allocated easily.
This patch adds another status bit in handle to synchronize between user
access through zs_map_object and migration. During migration, we cannot
move objects user are using due to data coherency between old object and
new object.
