Staging: virtual block device driver (ramzswap)

Creates RAM based block devices (/dev/ramzswapX) which can be
used (only) as swap disks. Pages swapped to these are compressed
and stored in memory itself.

The module is called ramzswap.ko. It depends on:
 - xvmalloc memory allocator (compiled with this driver)
 - lzo_compress.ko
 - lzo_decompress.ko

See ramzswap.txt for usage details.

14 years agoStaging: xvmalloc memory allocator
Nitin Gupta [Tue, 22 Sep 2009 04:56:52 +0000 (10:26 +0530)]
Staging: xvmalloc memory allocator

* Features:
 - Low metadata overhead (just 4 bytes per object)
 - O(1) Alloc/Free - except when we have to call system page allocator to
   get additional memory.
 - Very low fragmentation: In all tests, xvmalloc memory usage is within 12%
   of "Ideal".
 - Pool based allocator: Each pool can grow and shrink.
 - It maps pages only when required. So, it does not hog vmalloc area which
   is very small on 32-bit systems.

SLUB allocator could not be used due to fragmentation issues:
http://code.google.com/p/compcache/wiki/AllocatorsComparison
Data here shows kmalloc using ~43% more memory than TLSF and xvMalloc
is showed ~2% more space efficiency than TLSF (due to smaller metadata).
Creating various kmem_caches can reduce space efficiency gap but still
problem of being limited to low memory exists. Also, it depends on
allocating higher order pages to reduce fragmentation - this is not
acceptable for ramzswap as it is used under memory crunch (its a swap
device!).

SLOB allocator could not be used do to reasons mentioned here:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/18/210

* Implementation:
It uses two-level bitmap search to find free list containing block of
correct size. This idea is taken from TLSF (Two-Level Segregate Fit)
allocator and is well explained in its paper (see [Links] below).

* Limitations:
 - Poor scalability: No per-cpu data structures (work in progress).
