[PATCH v5 3/3] z3fold: add shrinker

Show all headers | View raw

This patch implements shrinker for z3fold. This shrinker
implementation does not free up any pages directly but it allows
for a denser placement of compressed objects which results in
less actual pages consumed and higher compression ratio therefore.

This update removes z3fold page compaction from the freeing path
since we can rely on shrinker to do the job. Also, a new flag
UNDER_COMPACTION is introduced to protect against two threads
trying to compact the same page.

This patch has been checked with the latest Linus's tree.
