Subject: [PATCH] mm/zsmalloc: disclose statistics to debugfs

As we now talk more and more about the fragmentation of zsmalloc. But
we still need to manually add some debug code to see the fragmentation.
So, I think we may add the statistics of memory fragmention in zsmalloc
and disclose them to debugfs. Then we can easily get and analysis
them when adding or developing new feature for zsmalloc.

Below entries will be created when a zsmalloc pool is created:
/sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/pool-n/obj_allocated
/sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/pool-n/obj_used

Then the status of objects usage will be:
objects_usage = obj_used / obj_allocated

Also we can collect other information and add corresponding entries
in debugfs when needed.

I didn't look at the code in detail but It would be handy for developer
but not sure we should deliver it to admin so need configurable?

How about making it per-sizeclass information, not per-pool?
So we can rely on the class->lock for the locking rule.

What kind of configuration do you want?
I think it is reasonable to expose such information to admin like
*/sys/kernel/debug/usb/device*

Or maybe we can enclose these code by DEBUG macro which will be
defined when CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_DEBUG is selected.

>
> How about making it per-sizeclass information, not per-pool?
Yes, you are right. Per sizeclass information will be better for
developers than per pool.

Is it acceptable to show 256 lines like:
#cat /sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/pool-1/obj_in_classes
class obj_allocated obj_used
1 ...
2 ...
....
....
255

Anyway for developers, these information is more usefull.

Thanks!

Hmm, I'd like to separte DEBUG and STAT because we can add some
sanity checking(ex, poisoning for invalid overwriting or
handle<->obj mapping verification) with DEBUG while we could
count obj stat with STAT.

So, now it seems you want CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT?

It would be better to show the number of pages so we can know
how many of fragment space in last subpage of zspage is wasted.
But I don't want to keep pages_used in memory but you could
calcurate it dynamically with obj_allocated when user access debugfs.

#cat /sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/pool-1/obj_in_classes
class-size obj_allocated obj_used pages_used
32
48

Thanks!

Yes. Add a CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT will make code cleaner.

Yes, I will follow your suggestion.

I got it. I will send a v2 patch.
