[PATCH 0/3] Fix zswap init failure behavior

From: Dan Streetman
Date: Tue Jan 24 2017 - 15:03:27 EST


If zswap fails to initialize itself at boot, it returns error from its
init function; but for built-in drivers, that does not unload them; and
more importantly, it doesn't prevent their sysfs module param interface
from being created. In this case, changing the compressor or zpool param
will result in a WARNING because zswap didn't expect them to be changed if
initialization failed.

These patches fix that assumption, as well as allowing pool creation after
a failed initialization, if only the zpool and/or compressor creation
failed.

Dan Streetman (3):
zswap: disable changing params if init fails
zswap: allow initialization at boot without pool
zswap: clear compressor or zpool param if invalid at init
