This is the case the "compressed" data is larger than the original data, it is better to return -ENOSPC which can help zswap record a poor compr rather than an invalid request. Then we get more friendly counting for reject_compress_poor in debugfs. bool zswap_store(struct folio *folio) { ... ret = zpool_malloc(zpool, dlen, gfp, &handle); if (ret == -ENOSPC) { zswap_reject_compress_poor++; goto put_dstmem; } if (ret) { zswap_reject_alloc_fail++; goto put_dstmem; } ... } Also, zbud_alloc() and z3fold_alloc() are returning ENOSPC in the same case, eg static int z3fold_alloc(struct z3fold_pool *pool, size_t size, gfp_t gfp, unsigned long *handle) { ... if (!size || (gfp & __GFP_HIGHMEM)) return -EINVAL; if (size > PAGE_SIZE) return -ENOSPC; ... } Signed-off-by: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@xxxxxxxx> --- mm/zsmalloc.c | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/mm/zsmalloc.c b/mm/zsmalloc.c index b1c0dad7f4cf..c937635e0ad1 100644 --- a/mm/zsmalloc.c +++ b/mm/zsmalloc.c @@ -1364,9 +1364,12 @@ unsigned long zs_malloc(struct zs_pool *pool, size_t size, gfp_t gfp) int newfg; struct zspage *zspage; - if (unlikely(!size || size > ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE)) + if (unlikely(!size)) return (unsigned long)ERR_PTR(-EINVAL); + if (unlikely(size > ZS_MAX_ALLOC_SIZE)) + return (unsigned long)ERR_PTR(-ENOSPC); + handle = cache_alloc_handle(pool, gfp); if (!handle) return (unsigned long)ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); -- 2.34.1
