Currently, ramzwap devices (/dev/ramzswapX) can only
be used as swap disks since it was hard-coded to consider
only the first request in bio vector.
Now, we iterate over all the segments in an incoming
bio which allows us to handle all kinds of I/O requests.
ramzswap devices can still handle PAGE_SIZE aligned and
multiple of PAGE_SIZE sized I/O requests only. To ensure
that we get always get such requests only, we set following
request_queue attributes to PAGE_SIZE:
- physical_block_size
- logical_block_size
- io_min
- io_opt
Note: physical and logical block sizes were already set
equal to PAGE_SIZE and that seems to be sufficient to get
PAGE_SIZE aligned I/O.
Since we are no longer limited to handling swap requests
only, the next few patches rename ramzswap to zram. So,
the devices will then be called /dev/zram{0, 1, 2, ...}
Usage/Examples:
1) Use as /tmp storage
- mkfs.ext4 /dev/zram0
- mount /dev/zram0 /tmp
2) Use as swap:
- mkswap /dev/zram0
- swapon /dev/zram0 -p 10 # give highest priority to zram0
Performance:
- I/O benchamark done with 'dd' command. Details can be
found here:
http://code.google.com/p/compcache/wiki/zramperf
Summary:
- Maximum read speed (approx):
- ram disk: 1200 MB/sec
- zram disk: 600 MB/sec
- Maximum write speed (approx):
- ram disk: 500 MB/sec
- zram disk: 160 MB/sec
Issues:
- Double caching: We can potentially waste memory by having
two copies of a page -- one in page cache (uncompress) and
second in the device memory (compressed). However, during
reclaim, clean page cache pages are quickly freed, so this
does not seem to be a big problem.
- Stale data: Not all filesystems support issuing 'discard'
requests to underlying block devices. So, if such filesystems
are used over zram devices, we can accumulate lot of stale
data in memory. Even for filesystems to do support discard
(example, ext4), we need to see how effective it is.
- Scalability: There is only one (per-device) de/compression
buffer stats. This can lead to significant contention, especially
when used for generic (non-swap) purposes.

Older mechanism of counting the number of protocols
registered with ST was slow, in-efficient.
It used to check the protocol data for NULL for each
registration/unregistration.
With this change, counting protocols in maintained by
a single counter protos_registered.
Counting protocols is not just for debug purposes

Remove the older way of communicating with user-space
daemon UIM.
The older way involved creating of a new kobj and pid
sysfs file under it, and sending signal using that pid.
Now we communicate via rfkill to user-space UIM.
Background: UIM is the user-space daemon which upon
notification from ldisc driver, opens the tty, sets
default baud and then installs (tiocsetd) the ldisc.

Commit 902d241129 converted U32 to u32
which you would think would be just fine. Unfortunatly, it seems that
VIA only builds their code on a 32bit processor (which makes sense if
you think about it), but this doesn't work on x86-64. So fix up the few
places where this really wanted to be an unsigned long width.

The dmm32at.c and comedi_bond.c comedi driver files contain an
instructional comment block copied over from skel.c about how to format
a driver comment block. This comment was modified in skel.c by a
previous patch in this series to stop Comedi's 'dump_doc' script
treating it as an actual driver comment block. There isn't any need to
repeat this comment block in the other source files, so rather than
modify it, this patch just removes it from those files.

The Comedi team have a script 'dump_doc' to extract text from the driver
comment block (starting with line 'Driver:') in (most of) the comedi
driver source files. This was recently updated to allow and strip off a
" * " prefix at the start of each line (well actually, it uses the perl
substitution 's/^ ?\* ?//').
The skel.c file contains an instructional comment block about how to
format this driver comment block, but the updated 'dump_doc' script
mistakenly treats this as a valid driver comment block. This patch adds
some extra whitespace to stop the instructional comment block being
treated as a valid driver comment block by Comedi's 'dump_doc' script.
