[PATCH v1] mm: zswap: zswap_store_page() will initialize entry after adding to xarray.

From: Kanchana P Sridhar
Date: Wed Oct 02 2024 - 13:33:38 EST


This incorporates Yosry's suggestions in [1] for further simplifying
zswap_store_page(). If the page is successfully compressed and added to
the xarray, we get the pool/objcg refs, and initialize all the entry's
members. Only after this, we add it to the zswap LRU.

In the time between the entry's addition to the xarray and it's member
initialization, we are protected against concurrent
stores/loads/swapoff through the folio lock, and are protected against
writeback because the entry is not on the LRU yet.

This way, we don't have to drop the pool/objcg refs, now that the entry
initialization is centralized to the successful page store code path.

zswap_compress() is modified to take a zswap_pool parameter in keeping
with this simplification (as against obtaining this from entry->pool).
