mm: zswap: remove shrink from zpool interface

Now that all three zswap backends have removed their shrink code, it is
no longer necessary for the zpool interface to include shrink/writeback
endpoints.

mm/zswap: add the flag can_sleep_mapped

Patch series "Fix the compatibility of zsmalloc and zswap".

Patch #1 adds a flag to zpool, then zswap used to determine if zpool
drivers such as zbud/z3fold/zsmalloc will enter an atomic context after
mapping.

The difference between zbud/z3fold and zsmalloc is that zsmalloc requires
an atomic context that since its map function holds a preempt-disabled,
but zbud/z3fold don't require an atomic context. So patch #2 sets flag
sleep_mapped to true indicating that zbud/z3fold can sleep after mapping.
zsmalloc didn't support sleep after mapping, so don't set that flag to
true.

This patch (of 2):

Add a flag to zpool, named is "can_sleep_mapped", and have it set true for
zbud/z3fold, not set this flag for zsmalloc, so its default value is
false. Then zswap could go the current path if the flag is true; and if
it's false, copy data from src to a temporary buffer, then unmap the
handle, take the mutex, process the buffer instead of src to avoid
sleeping function called from atomic context.

zpool: add malloc_support_movable to zpool_driver

As a zpool_driver, zsmalloc can allocate movable memory because it support
migate pages. But zbud and z3fold cannot allocate movable memory.

Add malloc_support_movable to zpool_driver. If a zpool_driver support
allocate movable memory, set it to true. And add
zpool_malloc_support_movable check malloc_support_movable to make sure if
a zpool support allocate movable memory.

zswap: only save zswap header when necessary

We waste sizeof(swp_entry_t) for zswap header when using zsmalloc as
zpool driver because zsmalloc doesn't support eviction.

Add zpool_evictable() to detect if zpool is potentially evictable, and
use it in zswap to avoid waste memory for zswap header.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.

For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139

and resulted in the first patch in this series.

If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930

and resulted in the second patch in this series.

- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1

and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).

- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

zpool: add zpool_has_pool()

This series makes creation of the zpool and compressor dynamic, so that
they can be changed at runtime. This makes using/configuring zswap
easier, as before this zswap had to be configured at boot time, using boot
params.

This uses a single list to track both the zpool and compressor together,
although Seth had mentioned an alternative which is to track the zpools
and compressors using separate lists. In the most common case, only a
single zpool and single compressor, using one list is slightly simpler
than using two lists, and for the uncommon case of multiple zpools and/or
compressors, using one list is slightly less simple (and uses slightly
more memory, probably) than using two lists.

This patch (of 4):

Add zpool_has_pool() function, indicating if the specified type of zpool
is available (i.e. zsmalloc or zbud). This allows checking if a pool is
available, without actually trying to allocate it, similar to
crypto_has_alg().

This is used by a following patch to zswap that enables the dynamic
runtime creation of zswap zpools.

zpool: remove zpool_evict()

Remove zpool_evict() helper function. As zbud is currently the only
zpool implementation that supports eviction, add zpool and zpool_ops
references to struct zbud_pool and directly call zpool_ops->evict(zpool,
handle) on eviction.

Currently zpool provides the zpool_evict helper which locks the zpool
list lock and searches through all pools to find the specific one
matching the caller, and call the corresponding zpool_ops->evict
function. However, this is unnecessary, as the zbud pool can simply
keep a reference to the zpool that created it, as well as the zpool_ops,
and directly call the zpool_ops->evict function, when it needs to evict
a page. This avoids a spinlock and list search in zpool for each
eviction.

mm/zpool: add name argument to create zpool

Currently the underlay of zpool: zsmalloc/zbud, do not know who creates
them. There is not a method to let zsmalloc/zbud find which caller they
belong to.

Now we want to add statistics collection in zsmalloc. We need to name the
debugfs dir for each pool created. The way suggested by Minchan Kim is to
use a name passed by caller(such as zram) to create the zsmalloc pool.

This patch adds an argument `name' to zs_create_pool() and other related

zpool provides an interface for memory storage, typically of compressed
memory. Users can select what backend to use; currently the only
implementations are zbud, a low density implementation with up to two
compressed pages per storage page, and zsmalloc, a higher density
implementation with multiple compressed pages per storage page.
