zsmalloc is not only used by zram, but also zswap. Maybe
others in the future.
I tried to use function_graph. It seems there are too much log
printed:
------
root@...-test:/sys/kernel/debug/tracing# cat trace
# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | | |
2) | zs_compact [zsmalloc]() {
2) | /* zsmalloc_compact_start: pool zram0 */
2) 0.889 us | _raw_spin_lock();
2) 0.896 us | isolate_zspage [zsmalloc]();
2) 0.938 us | _raw_spin_lock();
2) 0.875 us | isolate_zspage [zsmalloc]();
2) 0.942 us | _raw_spin_lock();
2) 0.962 us | isolate_zspage [zsmalloc]();
...
2) 0.879 us | insert_zspage [zsmalloc]();
2) 4.520 us | }
2) 0.975 us | _raw_spin_lock();
2) 0.890 us | isolate_zspage [zsmalloc]();
2) 0.882 us | _raw_spin_lock();
2) 0.894 us | isolate_zspage [zsmalloc]();
2) | /* zsmalloc_compact_end: pool zram0: 0 pages
compacted(total 0) */
2) # 1351.241 us | }
------
=> 1351.241 us used
And it seems the overhead of function_graph is bigger than trace event.
bash-3682 [002] .... 1439.180646: zsmalloc_compact_start: pool zram0
bash-3682 [002] .... 1439.180659: zsmalloc_compact_end: pool zram0:
0 pages compacted(total 0)
=> 13 us > 1351.241 us
Thanks.
