    zsmalloc: zs_page_migrate: skip unnecessary loops but not return -EBUSY if zspage is not inuse · 77ff4657
    Hui Zhu authored
    Getting -EBUSY from zs_page_migrate will make migration slow (retry) or
    fail (zs_page_putback will schedule_work free_work, but it cannot ensure
    the success).
    
    I noticed this issue because my Kernel patched
    (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/113) that will remove retry in
    __alloc_contig_migrate_range.
    
    This retry will handle the -EBUSY because it will re-isolate the page
    and re-call migrate_pages.  Without it will make cma_alloc fail at once
    with -EBUSY.
    
    According to the review from Minchan Kim in
    https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/113, I update the patch to skip
    unnecessary loops but not return -EBUSY if zspage is not inuse.
    
    Following is what I got with highalloc-performance in a vbox with 2 cpu
    1G memory 512 zram as swap.  And the swappiness is set to 100.
