This patch will create a percpu structures compression algo. 1. Takes extra memory for workspace buffers. I haven't seen any performance gain with this need to find the root cause.
My first guess is that the higher-level zram stuff is submitting its requests sequentially, so there's very few occasions where more than one page is waiting for (de)compression handling at the same time. You change the logic of zram_bvec_(read/write) - but what you'd need to change is the code that *calls* it so that there's multiple bvec_* calls in flight at the same time. + for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) { + printk(KERN_EMERG"[%s] Initializing for each core %d\n", cpu); KERN_EMERG? No. Absolutely not.
