Subject: zsmalloc: zs_page_migrate: skip unnecessary loops but not return -EBUSY if zspage is not inuse
Getting -EBUSY from zs_page_migrate will make migration slow (retry) or
fail (zs_page_putback will schedule_work free_work, but it cannot ensure
the success).
I noticed this issue because my Kernel patched
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/113) that will remove retry in
__alloc_contig_migrate_range. This retry willhandle the -EBUSY because it
will re-isolate the page and re-call migrate_pages. Without it will make
cma_alloc fail at once with -EBUSY.
According to the review from Minchan Kim in
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/113, I update the patch to skip
unnecessary loops but not return -EBUSY if zspage is not inuse.
Following is what I got with highalloc-performance in a vbox with 2
cpu 1G memory 512 zram as swap. And the swappiness is set to 100.
