Subject[PATCH 5/8] Eliminate zero-filled pages
Date
Checks if incoming page is completely filled with zeroes.
For such pages, no additional memory is allocated except
for an entry in corresponding radix tree. Number of zero
pages found (per-pool) is exported through sysfs:
/proc/sys/mm/zcache/pool<id>/zero_pages

When shrinking a pool -- for example, when memlimit is set
to a value less than current number of pages stored --
only non-zero-filled pages are freed to bring pool's memory
usage within memlimit. Since no memory is allocated for zero
filled pages, these are not accounted for pool's memory usage.

To quickly identify non-zero pages while shrinking a pool,
radix tree tag (ZCACHE_TAG_PAGE_NONZERO) is used.
