Hi, Minchan.
Sorry, I got it. You made zsmalloc pages movable.
forget it.

Hi, Minchan.
I have a question.
The problem mentioned can't be resolved with compaction?
Is there any reason that zsmalloc pages can't be moved by compaction
operation in direct reclaim?

Recently, there was issue about zsmalloc fragmentation and
I got a report from Juno that new fork failed although there
are plenty of free pages in the system.
His investigation revealed zram is one of the culprit to make
heavy fragmentation so there was no more contiguous 16K page
for pgd to fork in the ARM.
This patchset implement *basic* zsmalloc compaction support
and zram utilizes it so admin can do
"echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/compact"
Actually, ideal is that mm migrate code is aware of zram pages and
migrate them out automatically without admin's manual opeartion
when system is out of contiguous page. Howver, we need more thinking
before adding more hooks to migrate.c. Even though we implement it,
we need manual trigger mode, too so I hope we could enhance
zram migration stuff based on this primitive functions in future.
I just tested it on only x86 so need more testing on other arches.
Additionally, I should have a number for zsmalloc regression
caused by indirect layering. Unfortunately, I don't have any
ARM test machine on my desk. I will get it soon and test it.
Anyway, before further work, I'd like to hear opinion.
Pathset is based on v3.18-rc6-mmotm-2014-11-26-15-45.
Thanks.
