Subject: zram: extend zero pages to same element pages
The idea is that without doing more calculations we extend zero pages to
same element pages for zram. zero page is special case of same element
page with zero element.
1. the test is done under android 7.0
2. startup too many applications circularly
3. sample the zero pages, same pages (none-zero element)
and total pages in function page_zero_filled
the result is listed as below:
ZERO SAME TOTAL
36214 17842 598196
ZERO/TOTAL SAME/TOTAL (ZERO+SAME)/TOTAL ZERO/SAME
AVERAGE 0.060631909 0.024990816 0.085622726 2.663825038
STDEV 0.00674612 0.005887625 0.009707034 2.115881328
MAX 0.069698422 0.030046087 0.094975336 7.56043956
MIN 0.03959586 0.007332205 0.056055193 1.928985507
from the above data, the benefit is about 2.5% and up to 3% of total
swapout pages.
The defect of the patch is that when we recovery a page from non-zero
element the operations are low efficient for partial read.
This patch extends zero_page to same_page so if there is any user to have
monitored zero_pages, he will be surprised if the number is increased but
it's not harmful, I believe.
