Re: [PATCH v1 2/2] zram: remove init_lock in zram_make_request

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

Hello Minchan,

the idea looks good and this is something I was trying to do, except
that I used kref.

some review nitpicks are below. I also posted modified version of your
patch so that will save some time.

>  {

> +	return zram->disksize != 0;

we don't set ->disksize to 0 when create device. and I think
it's better to use refcount here, but set it to 0 during device creation.
(see the patch below)

I've changed it to likely case first: `if recount return true'

not needed. (see the patch below).

we can't destoy zcomp before we see IO completion.

>  	zram->max_comp_streams = 1;

we better keep original comp_streams number before we see IO completion.
we don't know how many RW ops we have, so completion can happen earlier.

I keep it on its current position. (see below)

here and later:
we can't take zram_meta_get() first and then check for init_done(zram),
because ->meta can be NULL, so it fill be ->NULL->refcount.

let's keep ->completion and ->refcount in zram and rename zram_meta_[get|put]
to zram_[get|put].




please review a bit modified version of your patch.

/* the patch also reogranizes a bit order of struct zram members, to move
member that we use more often together and to avoid paddings. nothing
critical here. */


next action items are:
-- we actually can now switch from init_lock in some _show() fucntion to
zram_get()/zram_put()
-- address that theoretical and very unlikely in real live race condition
of umount-reset vs. mount-rw.


no concerns about performance of this version -- we probably will not get
any faster than that.


thanks a lot for your effort!
