7 * Concepts based on zcache internal zbud allocator by Dan Magenheimer.
9 * zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. Contrary
10 * to what its name may suggest, zbud is not a buddy allocator, but rather an
11 * allocator that "buddies" two compressed pages together in a single memory
14 * While this design limits storage density, it has simple and deterministic
15 * reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher density approach when
16 * reclaim will be used.
18 * zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs in a
19 * single memory page called a "zbud page". The first buddy is "left
20 * justified" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is "right
21 * justified" at the end of the zbud page. The benefit is that if either
22 * buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever slack space
23 * that existed between the buddies, results in the largest possible free region
24 * within the zbud page.
26 * zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density. The ratio of zpages
27 * to zbud pages can not be less than 1. This ensures that zbud can never "do
28 * harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the uncompressed zpages would
29 * have used on their own.
31 * zbud pages are divided into "chunks". The size of the chunks is fixed at
32 * compile time and determined by NCHUNKS_ORDER below. Dividing zbud pages
33 * into chunks allows organizing unbuddied zbud pages into a manageable number
34 * of unbuddied lists according to the number of free chunks available in the
37 * The zbud API differs from that of conventional allocators in that the
38 * allocation function, zbud_alloc(), returns an opaque handle to the user,
39 * not a dereferenceable pointer. The user must map the handle using
40 * zbud_map() in order to get a usable pointer by which to access the
41 * allocation data and unmap the handle with zbud_unmap() when operations
42 * on the allocation data are complete.

60 * NCHUNKS_ORDER determines the internal allocation granularity, effectively
61 * adjusting internal fragmentation. It also determines the number of
62 * freelists maintained in each pool. NCHUNKS_ORDER of 6 means that the
63 * allocation granularity will be in chunks of size PAGE_SIZE/64. As one chunk
64 * in allocated page is occupied by zbud header, NCHUNKS will be calculated to
65 * 63 which shows the max number of free chunks in zbud page, also there will be
66 * 63 freelists per pool.
