Subject: [PATCH] zswap: Add CONFIG_ZSWAP_IO_SWITCH
I use zswap to handle the swap IO issue in a VM that uses a swap file.
This VM has 4G memory and 2 CPUs. And I set up 4G swap in /swapfile.
This is test script:
cat 1.sh
./usemem --sleep 3600 -M -a -n 1 $((3 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024)) &
sleep 10
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
./usemem -S -f /test2 $((2 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024)) &
while [ True ]; do ./usemem -a -n 1 $((1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024)); done
Without ZSWAP:
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
swapon /swapfile
sh 1.sh
...

1207959552 bytes / 1954371 usecs = 603594 KB/s
53161 usecs to free memory
...
...
With ZSWAP:
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
swapon /swapfile
echo lz4 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor
echo zsmalloc > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/zpool
echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/same_filled_pages_enabled
echo 20 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent
echo 1 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled
sh 1.sh

194825 usecs to free memory
1207959552 bytes / 3439563 usecs = 342964 KB/s

5632 usecs to free memory
1207959552 bytes / 3329369 usecs = 354315 KB/s
179764 usecs to free memory
The normal io speed is increased from 98081 KB/s to 120935 KB/s.
But I found 2 issues of zswap in this machine:
1. Because the disk of VM has the file cache in the host layer,
so normal swap speed is higher than with zswap.
2. Because zswap need allocates memory to store the compressed pages,
it will make memory capacity worse.
For example:
Command "./usemem -a -n 1 $((7 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024))" request 7G memory
from this machine.
It will work OK without zswap but got OOM when zswap is opened.
This commit adds CONFIG_ZSWAP_IO_SWITCH that try to handle the issues
and let zswap keep save IO.
It add two parameters read_in_flight_limit and write_in_flight_limit to
zswap.
In zswap_frontswap_store, pages will be stored to zswap only when
the IO in flight number of swap device is bigger than
zswap_read_in_flight_limit or zswap_write_in_flight_limit
when zswap is enabled.
Then the zswap just work when the IO in flight number of swap device
is low.
This is the test result:
echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
swapon /swapfile
echo lz4 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/compressor
echo zsmalloc > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/zpool
echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/same_filled_pages_enabled
echo 20 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent
echo 1 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled
echo 3 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/read_in_flight_limit
echo 50 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/write_in_flight_limit
