The function names page_xchg_last_nid(), page_last_nid() and
reset_page_last_nid() were judged to be inconsistent so rename them to a
struct_field_op style pattern. As it looked jarring to have
reset_page_mapcount() and page_nid_reset_last() beside each other in
memmap_init_zone(), this patch also renames reset_page_mapcount() to
page_mapcount_reset(). There are others like init_page_count() but as
it is used throughout the arch code a rename would likely cause more
conflicts than it is worth.

We get:

The function zcache_init() references

This is often because zcache_init lacks a __init

It was observed by Andrea Arcangeli in 2011 that zcache can get "full"
and there must be some way for compressed swap pages to be (uncompressed
and then) sent through to the backing swap disk. A prototype of this
functionality, called "unuse", was added in 2012 as part of a major update
to zcache (aka "zcache2"), but was left unfinished due to the unfortunate
temporary fork of zcache.
This earlier version of the code had an unresolved memory leak
and was anyway dependent on not-yet-upstream frontswap and mm changes.
The code was meanwhile adapted by Seth Jennings for similar
functionality in zswap (which he calls "flush"). Seth also made some
clever simplifications which are herein ported back to zcache. As a
result of those simplifications, the frontswap changes are no longer
necessary, but a slightly different (and simpler) set of mm changes are
still required [1]. The memory leak is also fixed.
Due to feedback from akpm in a zswap thread, this functionality in zcache
has now been renamed from "unuse" to "writeback".
Although this zcache writeback code now works, there are open questions
as how best to handle the policy that drives it. As a result, this
patch also ties writeback to a new config option. And, since the
code still depends on not-yet-upstreamed mm patches, to avoid build
problems, the config option added by this patch temporarily depends
on "BROKEN"; this config dependency can be removed in trees that
contain the necessary mm patches.

alloc failures already get standardized OOM
messages and a dump_stack.
For the affected mallocs around these OOM messages:
Converted kzallocs with multiplies to kcalloc.
Converted kmallocs with multiplies to kmalloc_array.
Converted a kmalloc/strlen/strncpy to kstrdup.
Moved a spin_lock below a removed OOM message and
removed a now unnecessary spin_unlock.

[V2: no code changes, patchset now generated via git format-patch -M]
In staging, rename ramster to zcache
The original zcache in staging was a "demo" version, and this new zcache
is a significant rewrite. While certain disagreements were being resolved,
both "old zcache" and "new zcache" needed to reside in the staging tree
simultaneously. In order to minimize code change and churn, the newer
version of zcache was temporarily merged into the "ramster" staging driver
which, prior to that, had at one time heavily leveraged the older version
of zcache. So, recently, "new zcache" resided in the ramster directory.
Got that? No? Sorry, temporary political compromises are rarely pretty.
The older version of zcache is no longer being maintained and has now
been removed from the staging tree. So now the newer version of zcache
can rightfully reclaim sole possession of the name "zcache".
FYI, this [PATCH 2/5] is simply a "git mv" generated by "git format-patch -M".

This patch fixes a race condition that results in memory
corruption when using cleancache.
The race exists between the zcache shrinker handler,
shrink_zcache_memory() and cleancache_get_page().
In most cases, the shrinker will both evict a zbpg
from its buddy list and flush it from tmem before a
cleancache_get_page() occurs on that page. A subsequent
cleancache_get_page() will fail in the tmem layer.
In the rare case that two occur together and the
cleancache_get_page() path gets through the tmem
layer before the shrinker path can flush tmem,
zbud_decompress() does a check to see if the zbpg is a
"zombie", i.e. not on a buddy list, which means the shrinker
is in the process of reclaiming it. If the zbpg is a zombie,
zbud_decompress() returns -EINVAL.
However, this return code is being ignored by the caller,
zcache_pampd_get_data_and_free(), which results in the
caller of cleancache_get_page() thinking that the page has
been properly retrieved when it has not.
This patch modifies zcache_pampd_get_data_and_free() to
convey the failure up the stack so that the caller of
cleancache_get_page() knows the page retrieval failed.
This needs to be applied to stable trees as well.
zcache-main.c was named zcache.c before v3.1, so
I'm not sure how you want to handle trees earlier
than that.

Pull frontswap feature from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
"Frontswap provides a "transcendent memory" interface for swap pages.
In some environments, dramatic performance savings may be obtained
because swapped pages are saved in RAM (or a RAM-like device) instead
of a swap disk. This tag provides the basic infrastructure along with
some changes to the existing backends."
Fix up trivial conflict in mm/Makefile due to removal of swap token code
changing a line next to the new frontswap entry.
This pull request came in before the merge window even opened, it got
delayed to after the merge window by me just wanting to make sure it had
actual users. Apparently IBM is using this on their embedded side, and
Jan Beulich says that it's already made available for SLES and OpenSUSE
users.
Also acked by Rik van Riel, and Konrad points to other people liking it
too. So in it goes.
