7  * Concepts based on zcache internal zbud allocator by Dan Magenheimer.
8  *
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
12  * page.
13  *
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.
17  *
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.
25  *
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.
30  *
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
35  * zbud page.
36  *
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.

385  * The user detects a page should be reclaimed and calls zbud_reclaim_page().
386  * zbud_reclaim_page() will remove a zbud page from the pool LRU list and call
387  * the user-defined eviction handler with the pool and handle as arguments.
388  *
389  * If the handle can not be evicted, the eviction handler should return
