mm/zswap: fix inconsistency when zswap_store_page() fails
Commit b7c0ccd ("mm: zswap: support large folios in zswap_store()")
skips charging any zswap entries when it failed to zswap the entire folio.
However, when some base pages are zswapped but it failed to zswap the
entire folio, the zswap operation is rolled back. When freeing zswap
entries for those pages, zswap_entry_free() uncharges the zswap entries
that were not previously charged, causing zswap charging to become
inconsistent.
This inconsistency triggers two warnings with following steps:
# On a machine with 64GiB of RAM and 36GiB of zswap
$ stress-ng --bigheap 2 # wait until the OOM-killer kills stress-ng
$ sudo reboot
The two warnings are:
in mm/memcontrol.c:163, function obj_cgroup_release():
WARN_ON_ONCE(nr_bytes & (PAGE_SIZE - 1));
in mm/page_counter.c:60, function page_counter_cancel():
if (WARN_ONCE(new < 0, "page_counter underflow: %ld nr_pages=%lu\n",
new, nr_pages))
zswap_stored_pages also becomes inconsistent in the same way.
As suggested by Kanchana, increment zswap_stored_pages and charge zswap
entries within zswap_store_page() when it succeeds. This way,
zswap_entry_free() will decrement the counter and uncharge the entries
when it failed to zswap the entire folio.
While this could potentially be optimized by batching objcg charging and
incrementing the counter, let's focus on fixing the bug this time and
leave the optimization for later after some evaluation.
After resolving the inconsistency, the warnings disappear.
