[PATCHv9 3/7] zram: factor out single stream compression

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Fri Feb 28 2014 - 12:55:59 EST


This is preparation patch to add multi stream support to zcomp.

Introduce struct zcomp_strm_single and a set of functions to manage zcomp_strm
stream access. zcomp_strm_single implements single compession stream, same way
as current zcomp implementation. This moves zcomp_strm stream control and
locking from zcomp, so compressing backend zcomp is not aware of required
locking.

Single and multi streams require different locking schemes. Minchan Kim
reported that spinlock-based locking scheme (which is used in multi stream
implementation) has demonstrated a severe perfomance regression for single
compression stream case, comparing to mutex-based.
see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/18/16

The following set of functions added:
- zcomp_strm_single_find()/zcomp_strm_single_release()
find and release a compression stream, implement required locking
- zcomp_strm_single_create()/zcomp_strm_single_destroy()
create and destroy zcomp_strm_single

New ->strm_find() and ->strm_release() callbacks added to zcomp, which are set to
zcomp_strm_single_find() and zcomp_strm_single_release() during initialisation.
Instead of direct locking and zcomp_strm access from zcomp_strm_find() and
zcomp_strm_release(), zcomp now calls ->strm_find() and ->strm_release()
correspondingly.
