2010-12-30Revert "Staging: zram: work around oops due to startup ordering snafu"Nitin Gupta
This reverts commit 7e24cce38a99f373450db67bf576fe73e8168d66 because it was never appropriate for mainline. Do not check for init flag before starting I/O - zram module is unusable without this fix. The oops mentioned in the reverted commit message was actually a problem only with the zram version as present in project's own repository where we allocate struct zram_stats_cpu upon device initialization. OTOH, In mainline/staging version of zram, we allocate struct stats upfront, so this oops cannot happen in mainline version. Checking for init_done flag in zram_make_request() results in a *no-op* for any I/O operation since we simply always return success. This flag is actually set when the first write occurs on a zram disk which triggers its initialization.

2010-08-31Staging: zram: Remove need for explicit device initializationNitin Gupta
Currently, the user has to explicitly write a positive value to initstate sysfs node before the device can be used. This event triggers allocation of per-device metadata like memory pool, table array and so on. We do not pre-initialize all zram devices since the 'table' array, mapping disk blocks to compressed chunks, takes considerable amount of memory (8 bytes per page). So, pre-initializing all devices will be quite wasteful if only few or none of the devices are actually used. This explicit device initialization from user is an odd requirement and can be easily avoided. We now initialize the device when first write is done to the device.

2010-08-31Staging: zram: Replace ioctls with sysfs interfaceNitin Gupta
Creates per-device sysfs nodes in /sys/block/zram<id>/ Currently following stats are exported: - disksize - num_reads - num_writes - invalid_io - zero_pages - orig_data_size - compr_data_size - mem_used_total By default, disksize is set to 0. So, to start using a zram device, fist write a disksize value and then initialize device by writing any positive value to initstate. For example: # initialize /dev/zram0 with 50MB disksize echo 50*1024*1024 | bc > /sys/block/zram0/disksize echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/initstate When done using a disk, issue reset to free its memory by writing any positive value to reset node: echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset This change also obviates the need for 'rzscontrol' utility.
