[PATCH v3 0/3] zram: fix few sysfs races

From: Luis Chamberlain
Date: Mon Jun 21 2021 - 19:30:34 EST


This v3 changes the approach for the deadlock fix with wrappers which
provide the same solution of the try_module_get(). This is less code,
should be easier to review.

The last patch is also new. I dropped the bdget() stuff for the block
device and instead am doing a direct kobject fetch as well as a bus get to
provide a more generic solution without having to require each type to
implement its own refcounts.
