397c60668a staging: zram: fix invalid memory references during disk write
Fixes a bug introduced by commit c8f2f0db1 ("zram: Fix handling
of incompressible pages") which caused invalid memory references
during disk write. Invalid references could occur in two cases:
 - Incoming data expands on compression: In this case, reference was
made to kunmap()'ed bio page.
 - Partial (non PAGE_SIZE) write with incompressible data: In this
case, reference was made to a kfree()'ed buffer.

Fixes bug 50081:

c8f2f0db1d staging: zram: Fix handling of incompressible pages
Change 130f315a (staging: zram: remove special handle of uncompressed page)
introduced a bug in the handling of incompressible pages which resulted in
memory allocation failure for such pages.

When a page expands on compression, say from 4K to 4K+30, we were trying to
do zsmalloc(pool, 4K+30). However, the maximum size which zsmalloc can
allocate is PAGE_SIZE (for obvious reasons), so such allocation requests
always return failure (0).

For a page that has compressed size larger than the original size (this may
happen with already compressed or random data), there is no point storing
the compressed version as that would take more space and would also require
time for decompression when needed again. So, the fix is to store any page,
whose compressed size exceeds a threshold (max_zpage_size), as-it-is i.e.
without compression.  Memory required for storing this uncompressed page can
then be requested from zsmalloc which supports PAGE_SIZE sized allocations.

Lastly, the fix checks that we do not attempt to "decompress" the page which
we stored in the uncompressed form -- we just memcpy() out such pages.

130f315a17 staging: zram: remove special handle of uncompressed page
xvmalloc can't handle PAGE_SIZE page so that zram have to
handle it specially but zsmalloc can do it so let's remove
unnecessary special handling code.

Quote from Nitin
"I think page vs handle distinction was added since xvmalloc could not
handle full page allocation. Now that zsmalloc allows full page
allocation, we can just use it for both cases. This would also allow
removing the ZRAM_UNCOMPRESSED flag. The only downside will be slightly
slower code path for full page allocation but this event is anyways
supposed to be rare, so should be fine."

1. This patch reduces code very much.

2. change pages_expand with bad_compress so it can count
   bad compression(above 75%) ratio.

3. remove zobj_header which is for back-reference for defragmentation
   because firstly, it's not used at the moment and zsmalloc can't handle
   bigger size than PAGE_SIZE so zram can't do it any more without redesign.

num_devices to zram_num_devices (without updating

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).

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.

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.

6642a67c55 Staging: zram: initialize device on first read
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.

5414e557fc staging: zram: fix data corruption issue
In zram_read() and zram_write() we were not incrementing the
index number and thus were reading/writing values from/to
incorrect sectors on zram disk, resulting in data corruption.

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.

7b19b8d45b zram: Prevent overflow in logical block size
On a 64K page kernel, the value PAGE_SIZE passed to
blk_queue_logical_block_size would overflow the logical block size
argument (resulting in setting it to 0).

This patch sets the logical block size to 4096, using a new
ZRAM_LOGICAL_BLOCK_SIZE constant.

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
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.
