[PATCH v2 0/2] mm: zswap: reduce request contention on loads

[PATCH v2 0/2] mm: zswap: reduce request contention on loads

[Usama Arif]

Stores and loads share a per-CPU acomp request and mutex. A low-priority
store can be preempted right after the compressor drops its stream
lock, while it still holds the zswap mutex, and a higher-priority load
on that CPU then waits for the store to run again. This follows the work
from Sergey Senozhatsky's zram series which splits it for the same
reason [1].

Patch 1 gives compression and decompression separate requests, waits
and mutexes, so loads no longer wait for stores, though they can still
wait for each other. Patch 2 decompresses with an on-stack request when
the algorithm is synchronous and needs no request context, which covers
all in-tree software compressors, so those loads take no zswap lock.
Asynchronous algorithms keep the per-CPU request and mutex. For software
compressors the series allocates the same number of requests as before;
each per-CPU context grows by 72 bytes, and the load path is about 270
bytes deeper on x86-64.

The series does not fix two related cases:
- Stores still serialize on the compression mutex, so a high-priority
  task that reclaims (direct reclaim, MADV_PAGEOUT) can still wait for
  a preempted store.
- On PREEMPT_RT the codec stream locks are preemptible, so a load can
  still wait for a preempted store inside the codec.

The numbers below are the slowest read per run, as a median (min-max)
of 5 runs. Each run is 12 seconds in a zstd VM with lazy preemption,
vm.page-cluster=0 and swap on /dev/ram0. With 1 vCPU, four nice +10
workers page memory out and read it back while a nice 0 task spins. A
nice -19 reader pages out its own buffer and measures how long each
read of it takes. With 8 vCPUs there are 16 workers, 8 spinning tasks
and 8 readers.

              Before series (ms)      With series (ms)
  1 vCPU      22.3 (21.6-22.6)        0.97 (0.72-1.4)
  8 vCPUs     314 (97-2542)           7.0 (5.0-98)

Reads over 10 ms fell from 26-35 per run to none with 1 vCPU, and from
3-18 per run to at most one with 8 vCPUs. The benchmark and test programs
were written with the help of an LLM.

v1 -> v2:
- Group the compression request and output buffer in zswap_comp_ctx,
  documenting that the compression mutex protects the buffer (Yosry).
- Move the existing synchronous and request context size checks into
  the Crypto API helper acomp_can_use_stack_req() (Yosry).
- Share callback setup through zswap_set_acomp_req_callback() and explain
  the two decompression paths (Yosry).
- Clarify in patch 1's commit message that codecs and drivers synchronize
  shared transform state internally (Yosry).
- Add Nhat Pham's Acked-by on patch 2.

[PATCH v2 1/2] mm: zswap: use separate compression and decompression requests

[Usama Arif]

Stores and loads serialize on the same per-CPU acomp request and mutex.
A low-priority store can be preempted as soon as the compressor drops
its stream lock, while it still holds the mutex. A higher-priority load
on that CPU then waits until the store runs again, which can take a
long time when other tasks are runnable.

Give compression and decompression their own request, completion wait
and mutex. Since commit e2c3b6b21c77f ("mm: zswap: use SG list
decompression APIs from zsmalloc"), the per-CPU buffer is only used for
compression, so group it with the compression request. Independent
requests can share the per-CPU transform; the codecs and drivers
synchronize their shared state internally. Loads can still wait for
each other on the decompression mutex, and stores still serialize on
the compression mutex.

acomp_request_free() ignores NULL requests, so drop the check in
acomp_ctx_free().

This follows the proposal from Sergey Senozhatsky for the same split
for zram [1].

[PATCH v2 2/2] mm: zswap: use stack requests for synchronous decompression

[Usama Arif]

With separate requests for compression and decompression, loads still
serialize on the per-CPU decompression mutex. A low-priority load that
is preempted after the codec drops its stream lock keeps holding the mutex
and stalls every other load on that CPU, including higher-priority ones.

Synchronous algorithms whose requests need no extra context can use an
on-stack request, so decompress with one and take no zswap lock. All
in-tree software compressors qualify. Add acomp_can_use_stack_req() to
keep the synchronous and request-size checks in the Crypto API.
Asynchronous algorithms, and synchronous ones with request context,
keep the per-CPU request and mutex, which is still taken before the
zsmalloc read lock.

Reading the per-CPU context without the mutex is safe. Since
commit ef3c0f6cb798e ("mm: zswap: tie per-CPU acomp_ctx lifetime to the
pool"), it is set up before its CPU comes online and is not torn down
until the pool is destroyed. The codecs keep their own stream locks, and
crypto_acomp_decompress() rejects on-stack requests only for
asynchronous transforms, which never take this path.

For software compressors this drops the heap request added by the
previous patch. The on-stack request and wait take 216 bytes, which
makes the load path about 270 bytes deeper on x86-64. Asynchronous
algorithms pay this too.
