This patch introduces rework to zram stats. We have per-stat sysfs nodes,
and it makes things a bit hard to use in user space: it doesn't give an
immediate stats 'snapshot', it requires user space to use more syscalls -
open, read, close for every stat file, with appropriate error checks on
every step, etc.
First, zram now accounts block layer statistics, available in
/sys/block/zram<id>/stat and /proc/diskstats files. So some new stats are
available (see Documentation/block/stat.txt), besides, zram's activities
now can be monitored by sysstat's iostat or similar tools.
Example:
cat /sys/block/zram0/stat
248 0 1984 0 251029 0 2008232 5120 0 5116 5116
Second, group currently exported on per-stat basis nodes into two
categories (files):
-- zram<id>/io_stat
accumulates device's IO stats, that are not accounted by block layer,
and contains:
failed_reads
failed_writes
invalid_io
notify_free
Example:
cat /sys/block/zram0/io_stat
0 0 0 652572
-- zram<id>/mm_stat
accumulates zram mm stats and contains:
orig_data_size
compr_data_size
mem_used_total
mem_limit
mem_used_max
zero_pages
num_migrated
Example:
cat /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat
434634752 270288572 279158784 0 579895296 15060 0
per-stat sysfs nodes are now considered to be deprecated and we plan to
remove them (and clean up some of the existing stat code) in two years (as
of now, there is no warning printed to syslog about deprecated stats being
used). User space is advised to use the above mentioned 3 files.
This patch (of 7):
Remove sysfs `num_migrated' attribute. We are moving away from per-stat
device attrs towards 3 stat files that will accumulate io and mm stats in
a format similar to block layer statistics in /sys/block/<dev>/stat. That
will be easier to use in user space, and reduce the number of syscalls
needed to read zram device statistics.
`num_migrated' will return back in zram<id>/mm_stat file.

|
Description:
|
|
The notify_free file is read-only. Depending on device usage
|
|
scenario it may account a) the number of pages freed because
|
|
of swap slot free notifications or b) the number of pages freed
|
|
because of REQ_DISCARD requests sent by bio. The former ones
|
|
are sent to a swap block device when a swap slot is freed, which
|
|
implies that this disk is being used as a swap disk. The latter
|
|
ones are sent by filesystem mounted with discard option,
|
|
whenever some data blocks are getting discarded.
