zram: user per-cpu compression streams
Remove idle streams list and keep compression streams in per-cpu data.
This removes two contented spin_lock()/spin_unlock() calls from write
path and also prevent write OP from being preempted while holding the
compression stream, which can cause slow downs.
For instance, let's assume that we have N cpus and N-2
max_comp_streams.TASK1 owns the last idle stream, TASK2-TASK3 come in
with the write requests:
TASK1 TASK2 TASK3
zram_bvec_write()
spin_lock
find stream
spin_unlock
compress
<<preempted>> zram_bvec_write()
spin_lock
find stream
spin_unlock
no_stream
schedule
zram_bvec_write()
spin_lock
find_stream
spin_unlock
no_stream
schedule
spin_lock
release stream
spin_unlock
wake up TASK2
not only TASK2 and TASK3 will not get the stream, TASK1 will be
preempted in the middle of its operation; while we would prefer it to
finish compression and release the stream.
Test environment: x86_64, 4 CPU box, 3G zram, lzo
The following fio tests were executed:
read, randread, write, randwrite, rw, randrw
with the increasing number of jobs from 1 to 10.
