Domenico Cerasuolo 35499e2b79 mm: zswap: remove shrink from zpool interface
Now that all three zswap backends have removed their shrink code, it is
no longer necessary for the zpool interface to include shrink/writeback
endpoints.

Domenico Cerasuolo f999f38b4e mm: zswap: add pool shrinking mechanism
Patch series "mm: zswap: move writeback LRU from zpool to zswap", v3.

This series aims to improve the zswap reclaim mechanism by reorganizing
the LRU management. In the current implementation, the LRU is maintained
within each zpool driver, resulting in duplicated code across the three
drivers. The proposed change consists in moving the LRU management from
the individual implementations up to the zswap layer.

The primary objective of this refactoring effort is to simplify the
codebase. By unifying the reclaim loop and consolidating LRU handling
within zswap, we can eliminate redundant code and improve
maintainability. Additionally, this change enables the reclamation of
stored pages in their actual LRU order. Presently, the zpool drivers
link backing pages in an LRU, causing compressed pages with different
LRU positions to be written back simultaneously.

The series consists of several patches. The first patch implements the
LRU and the reclaim loop in zswap, but it is not used yet because all
three driver implementations are marked as zpool_evictable.
The following three commits modify each zpool driver to be not
zpool_evictable, allowing the use of the reclaim loop in zswap.
As the drivers removed their shrink functions, the zpool interface is
then trimmed by removing zpool_evictable, zpool_ops, and zpool_shrink.
Finally, the code in zswap is further cleaned up by simplifying the
writeback function and removing the now unnecessary zswap_header.


This patch (of 7):

Each zpool driver (zbud, z3fold and zsmalloc) implements its own shrink
function, which is called from zpool_shrink.  However, with this commit, a
unified shrink function is added to zswap.  The ultimate goal is to
eliminate the need for zpool_shrink once all zpool implementations have
dropped their shrink code.

To ensure the functionality of each commit, this change focuses solely on
adding the mechanism itself.  No modifications are made to the backends,
meaning that functionally, there are no immediate changes.  The zswap
mechanism will only come into effect once the backends have removed their
shrink code.  The subsequent commits will address the modifications needed
in the backends.

Yosry Ahmed b9c91c4341 mm: zswap: support exclusive loads
Commit 71024cb4a0 ("frontswap: remove frontswap_tmem_exclusive_gets")
removed support for exclusive loads from frontswap as it was not used. 
Bring back exclusive loads support to frontswap by adding an "exclusive"
output parameter to frontswap_ops->load.

On the zswap side, add a module parameter to enable/disable exclusive
loads, and a config option to control the boot default value.  Refactor
zswap entry invalidation in zswap_frontswap_invalidate_page() into
zswap_invalidate_entry() to reuse it in zswap_frontswap_load() if
exclusive loads are enabled.

With exclusive loads, we avoid having two copies of the same page in
memory (compressed & uncompressed) after faulting it in from zswap.  On
the other hand, if the page is to be reclaimed again without being
dirtied, it will be re-compressed.  Compression is not usually slow, and a
page that was just faulted in is less likely to be reclaimed again soon.

Domenico Cerasuolo e0228d590b mm: zswap: shrink until can accept
This update addresses an issue with the zswap reclaim mechanism, which
hinders the efficient offloading of cold pages to disk, thereby
compromising the preservation of the LRU order and consequently
diminishing, if not inverting, its performance benefits.

The functioning of the zswap shrink worker was found to be inadequate, as
shown by basic benchmark test.  For the test, a kernel build was utilized
as a reference, with its memory confined to 1G via a cgroup and a 5G swap
file provided.  The results are presented below, these are averages of
three runs without the use of zswap:

real 46m26s
user 35m4s
sys 7m37s

With zswap (zbud) enabled and max_pool_percent set to 1 (in a 32G
system), the results changed to:

real 56m4s
user 35m13s
sys 8m43s

written_back_pages: 18
reject_reclaim_fail: 0
pool_limit_hit:1478

Besides the evident regression, one thing to notice from this data is the
extremely low number of written_back_pages and pool_limit_hit.

The pool_limit_hit counter, which is increased in zswap_frontswap_store
when zswap is completely full, doesn't account for a particular scenario:
once zswap hits his limit, zswap_pool_reached_full is set to true; with
this flag on, zswap_frontswap_store rejects pages if zswap is still above
the acceptance threshold.  Once we include the rejections due to
zswap_pool_reached_full && !zswap_can_accept(), the number goes from 1478
to a significant 21578266.

Zswap is stuck in an undesirable state where it rejects pages because it's
above the acceptance threshold, yet fails to attempt memory reclaimation. 
This happens because the shrink work is only queued when
zswap_frontswap_store detects that it's full and the work itself only
reclaims one page per run.

This state results in hot pages getting written directly to disk, while
cold ones remain memory, waiting only to be invalidated.  The LRU order is
completely broken and zswap ends up being just an overhead without
providing any benefits.

This commit applies 2 changes: a) the shrink worker is set to reclaim
pages until the acceptance threshold is met and b) the task is also
enqueued when zswap is not full but still above the threshold.

Testing this suggested update showed much better numbers:

real 36m37s
user 35m8s
sys 9m32s

written_back_pages: 10459423
reject_reclaim_fail: 12896
pool_limit_hit: 75653

Domenico Cerasuolo 04fc781608 mm: fix zswap writeback race condition
The zswap writeback mechanism can cause a race condition resulting in
memory corruption, where a swapped out page gets swapped in with data that
was written to a different page.

The race unfolds like this:
1. a page with data A and swap offset X is stored in zswap
2. page A is removed off the LRU by zpool driver for writeback in
   zswap-shrink work, data for A is mapped by zpool driver
3. user space program faults and invalidates page entry A, offset X is
   considered free
4. kswapd stores page B at offset X in zswap (zswap could also be
   full, if so, page B would then be IOed to X, then skip step 5.)
5. entry A is replaced by B in tree->rbroot, this doesn't affect the
   local reference held by zswap-shrink work
6. zswap-shrink work writes back A at X, and frees zswap entry A
7. swapin of slot X brings A in memory instead of B

The fix:
Once the swap page cache has been allocated (case ZSWAP_SWAPCACHE_NEW),
zswap-shrink work just checks that the local zswap_entry reference is
still the same as the one in the tree.  If it's not the same it means that
it's either been invalidated or replaced, in both cases the writeback is
aborted because the local entry contains stale data.

Reproducer:
I originally found this by running `stress` overnight to validate my work
on the zswap writeback mechanism, it manifested after hours on my test
machine.  The key to make it happen is having zswap writebacks, so
whatever setup pumps /sys/kernel/debug/zswap/written_back_pages should do
the trick.

In order to reproduce this faster on a vm, I setup a system with ~100M of
available memory and a 500M swap file, then running `stress --vm 1
--vm-bytes 300000000 --vm-stride 4000` makes it happen in matter of tens
of minutes.  One can speed things up even more by swinging
/sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent up and down between, say, 20
and 1; this makes it reproduce in tens of seconds.  It's crucial to set
`--vm-stride` to something other than 4096 otherwise `stress` won't
realize that memory has been corrupted because all pages would have the
same data.

Nick Alcock 7e137102ae zswap: remove MODULE_LICENSE in non-modules
Since commit 8b41fc4454 ("kbuild: create modules.builtin without
Makefile.modbuiltin or tristate.conf"), MODULE_LICENSE declarations
are used to identify modules. As a consequence, uses of the macro
in non-modules will cause modprobe to misidentify their containing
object file as a module when it is not (false positives), and modprobe
might succeed rather than failing with a suitable error message.

So remove it in the files in this commit, none of which can be built as
modules.

Taejoon Song 62bf1258ec mm/zswap: try to avoid worst-case scenario on same element pages
The worst-case scenario on finding same element pages is that almost all
elements are same at the first glance but only last few elements are
different.

Since the same element tends to be grouped from the beginning of the
pages, if we check the first element with the last element before looping
through all elements, we might have some chances to quickly detect
non-same element pages.

1. Test is done under LG webOS TV (64-bit arch)
2. Dump the swap-out pages (~819200 pages)
3. Analyze the pages with simple test script which counts the iteration
   number and measures the speed at off-line

Under 64-bit arch, the worst iteration count is PAGE_SIZE / 8 bytes = 512.
The speed is based on the time to consume page_same_filled() function
only.  The result, on average, is listed as below:

                                   Num of Iter    Speed(MB/s)
Looping-Forward (Orig)                 38            99265
Looping-Backward                       36           102725
Last-element-check (This Patch)        33           125072

The result shows that the average iteration count decreases by 13% and the
speed increases by 25% with this patch.  This patch does not increase the
overall time complexity, though.

I also ran simpler version which uses backward loop.  Just looping
backward also makes some improvement, but less than this patch.

A similar change has already been made to zram in 90f82cbfe5 ("zram: try
to avoid worst-case scenario on same element pages").

Johannes Weiner 6b3379e8dc zswap: fix writeback lock ordering for zsmalloc
Patch series "Implement writeback for zsmalloc", v7.

Unlike other zswap allocators such as zbud or z3fold, zsmalloc currently
lacks the writeback mechanism.  This means that when the zswap pool is
full, it will simply reject further allocations, and the pages will be
written directly to swap.

This series of patches implements writeback for zsmalloc. When the zswap
pool becomes full, zsmalloc will attempt to evict all the compressed
objects in the least-recently used zspages.


This patch (of 6):

zswap's customary lock order is tree->lock before pool->lock, because the
tree->lock protects the entries' refcount, and the free callbacks in the
backends acquire their respective pool locks to dispatch the backing
object.  zsmalloc's map callback takes the pool lock, so zswap must not
grab the tree->lock while a handle is mapped.  This currently only happens
during writeback, which isn't implemented for zsmalloc.  In preparation
for it, move the tree->lock section out of the mapped entry section

zswap_frontswap_load() should be called from preemptible context (we even

GFP_ATOMIC allocaion for temp buffer.  The same applies to
zswap_writeback_entry().

Use GFP_KERNEL for temporary buffer allocation in both cases.

Johannes Weiner f4840ccfca zswap: memcg accounting
Applications can currently escape their cgroup memory containment when
zswap is enabled.  This patch adds per-cgroup tracking and limiting of
zswap backend memory to rectify this.

The existing cgroup2 memory.stat file is extended to show zswap statistics
analogous to what's in meminfo and vmstat.  Furthermore, two new control
files, memory.zswap.current and memory.zswap.max, are added to allow
tuning zswap usage on a per-workload basis.  This is important since not
all workloads benefit from zswap equally; some even suffer compared to
disk swap when memory contents don't compress well.  The optimal size of
the zswap pool, and the threshold for writeback, also depends on the size
of the workload's warm set.

The implementation doesn't use a traditional page_counter transaction. 
zswap is unconventional as a memory consumer in that we only know the
amount of memory to charge once expensive compression has occurred.  If
zwap is disabled or the limit is already exceeded we obviously don't want
to compress page upon page only to reject them all.  Instead, the limit is
checked against current usage, then we compress and charge.  This allows
some limit overrun, but not enough to matter in practice.

NeilBrown 014bb1de4f mm: create new mm/swap.h header file
Patch series "MM changes to improve swap-over-NFS support".

Assorted improvements for swap-via-filesystem.

This is a resend of these patches, rebased on current HEAD.  The only
substantial changes is that swap_dirty_folio has replaced
swap_set_page_dirty.

Currently swap-via-fs (SWP_FS_OPS) doesn't work for any filesystem.  It
has previously worked for NFS but that broke a few releases back.  This
series changes to use a new ->swap_rw rather than ->readpage and
->direct_IO.  It also makes other improvements.

There is a companion series already in linux-next which fixes various
issues with NFS.  Once both series land, a final patch is needed which
changes NFS over to use ->swap_rw.


This patch (of 10):

Many functions declared in include/linux/swap.h are only used within mm/

Create a new "mm/swap.h" and move some of these declarations there.
Remove the redundant 'extern' from the function declarations.

Maciej S. Szmigiero cb325ddde5 mm/zswap.c: allow handling just same-value filled pages
Zswap has an ability to efficiently store same-value filled pages, which
can be turned on and off using the "same_filled_pages_enabled"
parameter.

However, there is currently no way to enable just this (lightweight)
functionality, while not making use of the whole compressed page storage
machinery.

Add a "non_same_filled_pages_enabled" parameter which allows disabling
handling of pages that aren't same-value filled.  This way zswap can be
run in such lightweight same-value filled pages only mode.

Tian Tao fc6697a89f mm/zswap: add the flag can_sleep_mapped
Patch series "Fix the compatibility of zsmalloc and zswap".

Patch #1 adds a flag to zpool, then zswap used to determine if zpool
drivers such as zbud/z3fold/zsmalloc will enter an atomic context after
mapping.

The difference between zbud/z3fold and zsmalloc is that zsmalloc requires
an atomic context that since its map function holds a preempt-disabled,
but zbud/z3fold don't require an atomic context.  So patch #2 sets flag
sleep_mapped to true indicating that zbud/z3fold can sleep after mapping.
zsmalloc didn't support sleep after mapping, so don't set that flag to
true.

This patch (of 2):

Add a flag to zpool, named is "can_sleep_mapped", and have it set true for
zbud/z3fold, not set this flag for zsmalloc, so its default value is
false.  Then zswap could go the current path if the flag is true; and if
it's false, copy data from src to a temporary buffer, then unmap the
handle, take the mutex, process the buffer instead of src to avoid
sleeping function called from atomic context.

Barry Song 1ec3b5fe6e mm/zswap: move to use crypto_acomp API for hardware acceleration
Right now, all new ZIP drivers are adapted to crypto_acomp APIs rather
than legacy crypto_comp APIs.  Tradiontal ZIP drivers like lz4,lzo etc
have been also wrapped into acomp via scomp backend.  But zswap.c is still
using the old APIs.  That means zswap won't be able to work on any new ZIP
drivers in kernel.

This patch moves to use cryto_acomp APIs to fix the disconnected bridge
between new ZIP drivers and zswap.  It is probably the first real user to
use acomp but perhaps not a good example to demonstrate how multiple acomp
requests can be executed in parallel in one acomp instance.  frontswap is
doing page load and store page by page synchronously.  swap_writepage()
depends on the completion of frontswap_store() to decide if it should call
__swap_writepage() to swap to disk.

However this patch creates multiple acomp instances, so multiple threads
running on multiple different cpus can actually do (de)compression
parallelly, leveraging the power of multiple ZIP hardware queues.  This is
also consistent with frontswap's page management model.

The old zswap code uses atomic context and avoids the race conditions
while shared resources like zswap_dstmem are accessed.  Here since acomp
can sleep, per-cpu mutex is used to replace preemption-disable.

While it is possible to make mm/page_io.c and mm/frontswap.c support async
(de)compression in some way, the entire design requires careful thinking
and performance evaluation.  For the first step, the base with fixed
connection between ZIP drivers and zswap should be built.

Maciej S. Szmigiero bb8b93b5b6 mm/zswap: allow setting default status, compressor and allocator in Kconfig
The compressed cache for swap pages (zswap) currently needs from 1 to 3
extra kernel command line parameters in order to make it work: it has to
be enabled by adding a "zswap.enabled=1" command line parameter and if one
wants a different compressor or pool allocator than the default lzo / zbud
combination then these choices also need to be specified on the kernel
command line in additional parameters.

Using a different compressor and allocator for zswap is actually pretty
common as guides often recommend using the lz4 / z3fold pair instead of
the default one.  In such case it is also necessary to remember to enable
the appropriate compression algorithm and pool allocator in the kernel
config manually.

Let's avoid the need for adding these kernel command line parameters and
automatically pull in the dependencies for the selected compressor
algorithm and pool allocator by adding an appropriate default switches to
Kconfig.

The default values for these options match what the code was using

Dan Carpenter 38aeb071b3 zswap: potential NULL dereference on error in init_zswap()
The "pool" pointer can be NULL at the end of the init_zswap().  (We
would allocate a new pool later in that situation)

So in the error handling then we need to make sure pool is a valid
pointer before calling "zswap_pool_destroy(pool);" because that function
dereferences the argument.

Vitaly Wool 45190f01dd mm/zswap.c: add allocation hysteresis if pool limit is hit
zswap will always try to shrink pool when zswap is full.  If there is a
high pressure on zswap it will result in flipping pages in and out zswap
pool without any real benefit, and the overall system performance will
drop.  The previous discussion on this subject [1] ended up with a
suggestion to implement a sort of hysteresis to refuse taking pages into
zswap pool until it has sufficient space if the limit has been hit.
This is my take on this.

Hysteresis is controlled with a sysfs-configurable parameter (namely,
/sys/kernel/debug/zswap/accept_threhsold_percent).  It specifies the
threshold at which zswap would start accepting pages again after it
became full.  Setting this parameter to 100 disables the hysteresis and
sets the zswap behavior to pre-hysteresis state.

Vitaly Wool 068619e32f zswap: do not map same object twice
zswap_writeback_entry() maps a handle to read swpentry first, and
then in the most common case it would map the same handle again.
This is ok when zbud is the backend since its mapping callback is
plain and simple, but it slows things down for z3fold.

Since there's hardly a point in unmapping a handle _that_ fast as
zswap_writeback_entry() does when it reads swpentry, the
suggestion is to keep the handle mapped till the end.

Hui Zhu d2fcd82bb8 zswap: use movable memory if zpool support allocate movable memory
This is the third version that was updated according to the comments from
Sergey Senozhatsky https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/5/29/73 and Shakeel Butt
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/6/4/973

zswap compresses swap pages into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory
pool.  The memory pool should be zbud, z3fold or zsmalloc.  All of them
will allocate unmovable pages.  It will increase the number of unmovable
page blocks that will bad for anti-fragment.

zsmalloc support page migration if request movable page:
        handle = zs_malloc(zram->mem_pool, comp_len,
                GFP_NOIO | __GFP_HIGHMEM |
                __GFP_MOVABLE);

And commit "zpool: Add malloc_support_movable to zpool_driver" add
zpool_malloc_support_movable check malloc_support_movable to make sure if
a zpool support allocate movable memory.

This commit let zswap allocate block with gfp
__GFP_HIGHMEM | __GFP_MOVABLE if zpool support allocate movable memory.

Following part is test log in a pc that has 8G memory and 2G swap.

Arun KS ca79b0c211 mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomic
totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.

Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things.  It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing

Li Wang 16e536ef47 zswap: re-check zswap_is_full() after do zswap_shrink()
/sys/../zswap/stored_pages keeps rising in a zswap test with
"zswap.max_pool_percent=0" parameter.  But it should not compress or
store pages any more since there is no space in the compressed pool.

Reproduce steps:
  1. Boot kernel with "zswap.enabled=1"
  2. Set the max_pool_percent to 0
      # echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent
  3. Do memory stress test to see if some pages have been compressed
      # stress --vm 1 --vm-bytes $mem_available"M" --timeout 60s
  4. Watching the 'stored_pages' number increasing or not

The root cause is:

  When zswap_max_pool_percent is set to 0 via kernel parameter,
  zswap_is_full() will always return true due to zswap_shrink().  But if
  the shinking is able to reclain a page successfully the code then
  proceeds to compressing/storing another page, so the value of
  stored_pages will keep changing.

To solve the issue, this patch adds a zswap_is_full() check again after
  zswap_shrink() to make sure it's now under the max_pool_percent, and to
  not compress/store if we reached the limit.

Huang Ying 7ba716698c mm, swap, frontswap: fix THP swap if frontswap enabled
It was reported by Sergey Senozhatsky that if THP (Transparent Huge
Page) and frontswap (via zswap) are both enabled, when memory goes low
so that swap is triggered, segfault and memory corruption will occur in
random user space applications as follow,

kernel: urxvt[338]: segfault at 20 ip 00007fc08889ae0d sp 00007ffc73a7fc40 error 6 in libc-2.26.so[7fc08881a000+1ae000]

After bisection, it was found the first bad commit is bd4c82c22c ("mm,
THP, swap: delay splitting THP after swapped out").

The root cause is as follows:

When the pages are written to swap device during swapping out in
swap_writepage(), zswap (fontswap) is tried to compress the pages to
improve performance.  But zswap (frontswap) will treat THP as a normal
page, so only the head page is saved.  After swapping in, tail pages
will not be restored to their original contents, causing memory
corruption in the applications.

This is fixed by refusing to save page in the frontswap store functions
if the page is a THP.  So that the THP will be swapped out to swap
device.

Another choice is to split THP if frontswap is enabled.  But it is found
that the frontswap enabling isn't flexible.  For example, if
CONFIG_ZSWAP=y (cannot be module), frontswap will be enabled even if
zswap itself isn't enabled.

Frontswap has multiple backends, to make it easy for one backend to
enable THP support, the THP checking is put in backend frontswap store
functions instead of the general interfaces.

Yu Zhao 9c3760eb80 zswap: only save zswap header when necessary
We waste sizeof(swp_entry_t) for zswap header when using zsmalloc as
zpool driver because zsmalloc doesn't support eviction.

Add zpool_evictable() to detect if zpool is potentially evictable, and
use it in zswap to avoid waste memory for zswap header.

Srividya Desireddy a85f878b44 zswap: same-filled pages handling
Zswap is a cache which compresses the pages that are being swapped out
and stores them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
Experiments have shown that around 10-20% of pages stored in zswap are
same-filled pages (i.e.  contents of the page are all same), but these
pages are handled as normal pages by compressing and allocating memory
in the pool.

This patch adds a check in zswap_frontswap_store() to identify
same-filled page before compression of the page.  If the page is a
same-filled page, set zswap_entry.length to zero, save the same-filled
value and skip the compression of the page and alloction of memory in
zpool.  In zswap_frontswap_load(), check if value of zswap_entry.length
is zero corresponding to the page to be loaded.  If zswap_entry.length
is zero, fill the page with same-filled value.  This saves the
decompression time during load.

On a ARM Quad Core 32-bit device with 1.5GB RAM by launching and
relaunching different applications, out of ~64000 pages stored in zswap,
~11000 pages were same-value filled pages (including zero-filled pages)
and ~9000 pages were zero-filled pages.

An average of 17% of pages(including zero-filled pages) in zswap are
same-value filled pages and 14% pages are zero-filled pages.  An average
of 3% of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.

The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.

                            Baseline    With patch  % Improvement
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  *Zswap Store Time           26.5ms       18ms          32%
   (of same value pages)
  *Zswap Load Time
   (of same value pages)      25.5ms       13ms          49%
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

On Ubuntu PC with 2GB RAM, while executing kernel build and other test
scripts and running multimedia applications, out of 360000 pages stored
in zswap 78000(~22%) of pages were found to be same-value filled pages
(including zero-filled pages) and 64000(~17%) are zero-filled pages.  So
an average of %5 of pages are same-filled non-zero pages.

The below table shows the execution time profiling with the patch.

                            Baseline    With patch  % Improvement
  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  *Zswap Store Time           91ms        74ms           19%
   (of same value pages)
  *Zswap Load Time            50ms        7.5ms          85%
   (of same value pages)
  -----------------------------------------------------------------

*The execution times may vary with test device used.

Dan Streetman fd5bb66cd9 zswap: don't param_set_charp while holding spinlock
Change the zpool/compressor param callback function to release the
zswap_pools_lock spinlock before calling param_set_charp, since that
function may sleep when it calls kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL.

While this problem has existed for a while, I wasn't able to trigger it
using a tight loop changing either/both the zpool and compressor params; I
think it's very unlikely to be an issue on the stable kernels, especially
since most zswap users will change the compressor and/or zpool from sysfs
only one time each boot - or zero times, if they add the params to the
kernel boot.

Dan Streetman d7b028f56a zswap: disable changing params if init fails
Add zswap_init_failed bool that prevents changing any of the module
params, if init_zswap() fails, and set zswap_enabled to false.  Change
'enabled' param to a callback, and check zswap_init_failed before
allowing any change to 'enabled', 'zpool', or 'compressor' params.

Any driver that is built-in to the kernel will not be unloaded if its
init function returns error, and its module params remain accessible for
users to change via sysfs.  Since zswap uses param callbacks, which
assume that zswap has been initialized, changing the zswap params after
a failed initialization will result in WARNING due to the param
callbacks expecting a pool to already exist.  This prevents that by
immediately exiting any of the param callbacks if initialization failed.

This was reported here:
  https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147004228125528&w=4

And fixes this WARNING:
  [  429.723476] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5140 at mm/zswap.c:503 __zswap_pool_current+0x56/0x60

The warning is just noise, and not serious.  However, when init fails,
zswap frees all its percpu dstmem pages and its kmem cache.  The kmem
cache might be serious, if kmem_cache_alloc(NULL, gfp) has problems; but
the percpu dstmem pages are definitely a problem, as they're used as
temporary buffer for compressed pages before copying into place in the
zpool.

If the user does get zswap enabled after an init failure, then zswap
will likely Oops on the first page it tries to compress (or worse, start
corrupting memory).
