This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled zsmalloc: account the number of compacted pages correctly to the 4.4-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: zsmalloc-account-the-number-of-compacted-pages-correctly.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 2395928158059b8f9858365fce7713ce7fef62e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rokudo Yan <wu-yan@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 25 Feb 2021 17:18:31 -0800 Subject: zsmalloc: account the number of compacted pages correctly From: Rokudo Yan <wu-yan@xxxxxxx> commit 2395928158059b8f9858365fce7713ce7fef62e4 upstream. There exists multiple path may do zram compaction concurrently. 1. auto-compaction triggered during memory reclaim 2. userspace utils write zram<id>/compaction node So, multiple threads may call zs_shrinker_scan/zs_compact concurrently. But pages_compacted is a per zsmalloc pool variable and modification of the variable is not serialized(through under class->lock). There are two issues here: 1. the pages_compacted may not equal to total number of pages freed(due to concurrently add). 2. zs_shrinker_scan may not return the correct number of pages freed(issued by current shrinker). The fix is simple: 1. account the number of pages freed in zs_compact locally. 2. use actomic variable pages_compacted to accumulate total number.
