Until now, zram uses compression algorithm through direct call
to core algorithm function, but, it has drawback that we need to add
compression algorithm manually to zram if needed. Without this work,
we cannot utilize various compression algorithms in the system.
Moreover, to add new compression algorithm, we need to know how to use it
and this is somewhat time-consuming.
When I tested new algorithms such as zlib, these problems make me hard
to test them. To prevent these problem in the future, I think that
using crypto API for compression is better approach and this patch
implements it.
The reason we need to support vairous compression algorithms is that
zram's performance is highly depend on workload and compression algorithm
and architecture. Every compression algorithm has it's own strong point.
For example, zlib is the best for compression ratio, but, it's
(de)compression speed is rather slow. Against my expectation, in my kernel
build test with zram swap, in low-memory condition on x86, zlib shows best
performance than others. In this case, I guess that compression ratio is
the most important factor. Unlike this situation, on ARM, maybe fast
(de)compression speed is the most important because it's computation speed
is slower than x86.
We can't expect what algorithm is the best fit for one's system, because
it needs too complex calculation. We need to test it in case by case and
easy to use new compression algorithm by this patch will help
that situation.
There is one problem that crypto API requires tfm object to (de)compress
something and zram abstract it on zstrm which is very limited resource.
If number of zstrm is set to low and is contended, zram's performace could
be down-graded due to this change. But, following patch support to use
crypto decompress_noctx API and would restore the performance as is.
