[PATCH v6 02/17] zram: permit preemption with active compression stream

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Thu Feb 13 2025 - 23:52:57 EST


Currently, per-CPU stream access is done from a non-preemptible
(atomic) section, which imposes the same atomicity requirements on
compression backends as entry spin-lock, and makes it impossible
to use algorithms that can schedule/wait/sleep during compression
and decompression.

Switch to preemptible per-CPU model, similar to the one used
in zswap. Instead of a per-CPU local lock, each stream carries
a mutex which is locked throughout entire time zram uses it
for compression or decompression, so that cpu-dead event waits
for zram to stop using a particular per-CPU stream and release
it.
