If compression feature is on, in scenario of no enough free memory,
page refault ratio is higher than before, the root cause is:
- {,de}compression flow needs to allocate intermediate pages to store
compressed data in cluster, so during their allocation, vm may reclaim
mmaped pages.
- if above reclaimed pages belong to compressed cluster, during its
refault, it may cause more intermediate pages allocation, result in
reclaiming more mmaped pages.
So this patch introduces a mempool for intermediate page allocation,
in order to avoid high refault ratio, by default, number of
preallocated page in pool is 512, user can change the number by
assigning 'num_compress_pages' parameter during module initialization.
Ma Feng found warnings in the original patch and fixed like below.
Fix the following sparse warning:
fs/f2fs/compress.c:501:5: warning: symbol 'num_compress_pages' was not declared.
Should it be static?
fs/f2fs/compress.c:530:6: warning: symbol 'f2fs_compress_free_page' was not
declared. Should it be static?

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
