mm: zswap: add pool shrinking mechanism

Browse Source 
Patch series "mm: zswap: move writeback LRU from zpool to zswap", v3.

This series aims to improve the zswap reclaim mechanism by reorganizing
the LRU management. In the current implementation, the LRU is maintained
within each zpool driver, resulting in duplicated code across the three
drivers. The proposed change consists in moving the LRU management from
the individual implementations up to the zswap layer.

The primary objective of this refactoring effort is to simplify the
codebase. By unifying the reclaim loop and consolidating LRU handling
within zswap, we can eliminate redundant code and improve
maintainability. Additionally, this change enables the reclamation of
stored pages in their actual LRU order. Presently, the zpool drivers
link backing pages in an LRU, causing compressed pages with different
LRU positions to be written back simultaneously.

The series consists of several patches. The first patch implements the
LRU and the reclaim loop in zswap, but it is not used yet because all
three driver implementations are marked as zpool_evictable.
The following three commits modify each zpool driver to be not
zpool_evictable, allowing the use of the reclaim loop in zswap.
As the drivers removed their shrink functions, the zpool interface is
then trimmed by removing zpool_evictable, zpool_ops, and zpool_shrink.
Finally, the code in zswap is further cleaned up by simplifying the
writeback function and removing the now unnecessary zswap_header.


This patch (of 7):

Each zpool driver (zbud, z3fold and zsmalloc) implements its own shrink
function, which is called from zpool_shrink.  However, with this commit, a
unified shrink function is added to zswap.  The ultimate goal is to
eliminate the need for zpool_shrink once all zpool implementations have
dropped their shrink code.

To ensure the functionality of each commit, this change focuses solely on
adding the mechanism itself.  No modifications are made to the backends,
meaning that functionally, there are no immediate changes.  The zswap
mechanism will only come into effect once the backends have removed their
shrink code.  The subsequent commits will address the modifications needed
in the backends.
