[PATCH v2] zram: remove init_lock in zram_make_request

From: Minchan Kim
Date: Tue Feb 03 2015 - 23:01:56 EST


Admin could reset zram during I/O operation going on so we have
used zram->init_lock as read-side lock in I/O path to prevent
sudden zram meta freeing.

However, the init_lock is really troublesome.
We can't do call zram_meta_alloc under init_lock due to lockdep splat
because zram_rw_page is one of the function under reclaim path and
hold it as read_lock while other places in process context hold it
as write_lock. So, we have used allocation out of the lock to avoid
lockdep warn but it's not good for readability and fainally, I met
another lockdep splat between init_lock and cpu_hotplug from
kmem_cache_destroy during working zsmalloc compaction. :(

Yes, the ideal is to remove horrible init_lock of zram in rw path.
This patch removes it in rw path and instead, add atomic refcount
for meta lifetime management and completion to free meta in process
context. It's important to free meta in process context because
some of resource destruction needs mutex lock, which could be held
if we releases the resource in reclaim context so it's deadlock,
again.

As a bonus, we could remove init_done check in rw path because
zram_meta_get will do a role for it, instead.
