  2 * zbud.c
  3 *
  4 * Copyright (C) 2013, Seth Jennings, IBM
  5 *
  6 * Concepts based on zcache internal zbud allocator by Dan Magenheimer.
  7 *
  8 * zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.  Contrary
  9 * to what its name may suggest, zbud is not a buddy allocator, but rather an
 10 * allocator that "buddies" two compressed pages together in a single memory
 11 * page.
 12 *
 13 * While this design limits storage density, it has simple and deterministic
 14 * reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher density approach when
 15 * reclaim will be used.
 16 *
 17 * zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs in a
 18 * single memory page called a "zbud page".  The first buddy is "left
 19 * justified" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is "right
 20 * justified" at the end of the zbud page.  The benefit is that if either
 21 * buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever slack space
 22 * that existed between the buddies, results in the largest possible free region
 23 * within the zbud page.
 24 *
 25 * zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density. The ratio of zpages
 26 * to zbud pages can not be less than 1.  This ensures that zbud can never "do
 27 * harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the uncompressed zpages would
 28 * have used on their own.
 29 *
 30 * zbud pages are divided into "chunks".  The size of the chunks is fixed at
 31 * compile time and determined by NCHUNKS_ORDER below.  Dividing zbud pages
 32 * into chunks allows organizing unbuddied zbud pages into a manageable number
 33 * of unbuddied lists according to the number of free chunks available in the
 34 * zbud page.
 35 *
 36 * The zbud API differs from that of conventional allocators in that the
 37 * allocation function, zbud_alloc(), returns an opaque handle to the user,
 38 * not a dereferenceable pointer.  The user must map the handle using
 39 * zbud_map() in order to get a usable pointer by which to access the
 40 * allocation data and unmap the handle with zbud_unmap() when operations
 41 * on the allocation data are complete.

477 *
478 * To avoid these, this is how zbud_reclaim_page() should be called:
479 *
480 * The user detects a page should be reclaimed and calls zbud_reclaim_page().
481 * zbud_reclaim_page() will remove a zbud page from the pool LRU list and call
482 * the user-defined eviction handler with the pool and handle as arguments.
483 *
484 * If the handle can not be evicted, the eviction handler should return
485 * non-zero. zbud_reclaim_page() will add the zbud page back to the
486 * appropriate list and try the next zbud page on the LRU up to
487 * a user defined number of retries.
488 *
489 * If the handle is successfully evicted, the eviction handler should
490 * return 0 _and_ should have called zbud_free() on the handle. zbud_free()
491 * contains logic to delay freeing the page if the page is under reclaim,
492 * as indicated by the setting of the PG_reclaim flag on the underlying page.
493 *
