OK, I don't think it's the same.

we used to have

struct zram_meta *zram_meta_alloc()
{
meta->table = vzalloc()
meta->mem_pool = zs_create_pool();
return meta;
}


disksize_store()
{
meta = zram_meta_alloc();
if (init_done(zram)) {
pr_info("Cannot change disksize for initialized device\n");
goto out_destroy_comp;
}

zram->meta = meta;
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
}

now we have

struct zram_meta *zram_meta_alloc()
{
zram->table = vzalloc()
zram->mem_pool = zs_create_pool();
return true;
}


disksize_store()
{
zram_meta_alloc();
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
if (init_done(zram)) {
pr_info("Cannot change disksize for initialized device\n");
goto out_destroy_comp;
}
}


by the time we call init_done(zram) on already init device zram->table
and zram->mem_pool are overwritten and lost. right?

we still have several zram_meta_FOO() left overs in zram_drv.c
