speaking of fallback,
with bigger ZS_MAX_ZSPAGE_ORDER 'normal' classes also become bigger.

_techically_, zsmalloc is correct.
for instance, in 11 pages we can store 4096 * 11 / 176 == 256 objects.
256 * 176 == 45056, which is 4096 * 11. so if zspage for class_size 176 will
contain 11
order-0 pages, we can count on 0 bytes of unused space once zspage will become
ZS_FULL.
but it's ugly, because I think this will introduce bigger internal
fragmentation, which,
in some cases, can be handled by compaction, but I'd prefer to touch only
->huge classes
and keep the existing behaviour for normal classes.
so I'm currently thinking of doing something like this
#define ZS_MAX_ZSPAGE_ORDER 2
#define ZS_MAX_HUGE_ZSPAGE_ORDER 4
#define ZS_MAX_PAGES_PER_ZSPAGE (_AC(1, UL) << ZS_MAX_ZSPAGE_ORDER)
#define ZS_MAX_PAGES_PER_HUGE_ZSPAGE (_AC(1, UL) << ZS_MAX_HUGE_ZSPAGE_ORDER)
so, normal classes have ORDER of 2. huge classes, however, as a fallback, can
grow
up to ZS_MAX_HUGE_ZSPAGE_ORDER pages.
extend only ->huge classes: pages == 1 && get_maxobj_per_zspage(class_size,
pages) == 1.
like this:
static int __get_pages_per_zspage(int class_size, int max_pages)
{
int i, max_usedpc = 0;
/* zspage order which gives maximum used size per KB */
int max_usedpc_order = 1;
for (i = 1; i <= max_pages; i++) {
int zspage_size;
int waste, usedpc;
zspage_size = i * PAGE_SIZE;
waste = zspage_size % class_size;
usedpc = (zspage_size - waste) * 100 / zspage_size;
if (usedpc > max_usedpc) {
max_usedpc = usedpc;
max_usedpc_order = i;
}
}
return max_usedpc_order;
}
static int get_pages_per_zspage(int class_size)
{
/* normal class first */
int pages = __get_pages_per_zspage(class_size,
ZS_MAX_PAGES_PER_ZSPAGE);
/* test if the class is ->huge and try to turn it into a normal one */
if (pages == 1 &&
get_maxobj_per_zspage(class_size, pages) == 1) {
pages = __get_pages_per_zspage(class_size,
ZS_MAX_PAGES_PER_HUGE_ZSPAGE);
}
return pages;
}
