Nitpick.

<page, index> in descrption would be proper instead of
<page, offset>. You are going to replace <page, idx> with <page, offset>.


I think 'offset' conveys the meaning more clearly; 'index' is after all just a chopped-off version of offset :)


to the start of the object. Now, the handle implicitly stores the size
information by pointing to the object's end instead. Since zsmalloc is
a slab based allocator, the start of the object can be easily determined
and the difference between the end offset encoded in the handle and the
start gives us the object size.

It's a good idea. Look at just minor comment below.

Let's talk with another concern. This patch surely helps current
customer's memory usage who should add 4 byte for accounting the
statistics while zsmalloc could be slow down.
Is it really valuable?

Yes. zram/zcache had a tight coupling with zsmalloc so it already
lost modularity. :( In this POV, this patch makes sense.
But if someone are willing to remove statistics for performance?
Although he remove it, zsmalloc is still slow down.

Statistic for user of zsmalloc should be cost of user himself, not zsmalloc
and it accelerates dependency with customer so it makes changing allocator
hard in future. We already had such experience(xvmalloc->zsmalloc). Of course,
it's not good that worry future things too early without any plan.
So I'm not strong againt you. If any reviewer don't raise an eyebrow,
I wil rely on your decision.


Looking over the changes I do not expect any difference in performance -- just a bit more arithmetic, however the use of get_prev_page() which may dereference a few extra pointers might not be really free. Also, my iozone test[1] shows very little difference in performance:

With just the fix for crash (patch 1/2):
9.28user 1159.84system 21:46.54elapsed 89%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 50200maxresident)k
212988544inputs+190660816outputs (1major+16706minor)pagefaults 0swaps

With the new get_object_size() code (patch 1/2 + patch 2/2):
9.20user 1112.63system 21:03.61elapsed 88%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 50200maxresident)k
194636568inputs+190500424outputs (1major+16707minor)pagefaults 0swaps

I really cannot explain this ~40s speedup but anyways, I think optimizing zsmalloc/zram should be taken up separately, at least when this new code does not seem to have any significant effects.


[1] iozone test:
 - Create zram of size 1200m
 - Create ext4 fs
 - iozone -a -g 1G
 - In parallel: watch zram_stress

# zram_stress
sync
echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches


Surely, not the most accurate of the tests but gives an idea if anything is making a significant difference.

Thanks,
Nitin
