<content type='text'>
The use of idr_remove() is forbidden in the callback functions of
idr_for_each().  It is therefore unsafe to call idr_remove in
zram_remove().

This patch moves the call to idr_remove() from zram_remove() to
hot_remove_store().  In the detroy_devices() path, idrs are removed by
idr_destroy().  This solves an use-after-free detected by KASan.

Do not __GFP_ZERO allocated zcomp -&gt;private pages.  We keep allocated
streams around and use them for read/write requests, so we supply a
zeroed out -&gt;private to compression algorithm as a scratch buffer only
once -- the first time we use that stream.  For the rest of IO requests
served by this stream -&gt;private usually contains some temporarily data
from the previous requests.

<title>zram: pass gfp from zcomp frontend to backend</title>

Each zcomp backend uses own gfp flag but it's pointless because the
context they could be called is driven by upper layer(ie, zcomp
frontend).  As well, zcomp frondend could call them in different
context.  One context(ie, zram init part) is it should be better to make
sure successful allocation other context(ie, further stream allocation
part for accelarating I/O speed) is just optional so let's pass gfp down
from driver (ie, zcomp frontend) like normal MM convention.

<title>zram: try vmalloc() after kmalloc()</title>

When we're using LZ4 multi compression streams for zram swap, we found
out page allocation failure message in system running test.  That was
not only once, but a few(2 - 5 times per test).  Also, some failure
cases were continually occurring to try allocation order 3.

In order to make parallel compression private data, we should call
kzalloc() with order 2/3 in runtime(lzo/lz4).  But if there is no order
2/3 size memory to allocate in that time, page allocation fails.  This
patch makes to use vmalloc() as fallback of kmalloc(), this prevents
page alloc failure warning.

After using this, we never found warning message in running test, also
It could reduce process startup latency about 60-120ms in each case.

For reference a call trace :

Pull block IO poll support from Jens Axboe:
 "Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for
  (really) fast devices.  The code has been reviewed and has been
  sitting on the side for a few releases, but this is now good enough
  for coordinated benchmarking and further experimentation.

  Currently O_DIRECT sync read/write are supported.  A framework is in
  the works that allows scalable stats tracking so we can auto-tune
  this.  And we'll add libaio support as well soon.  Fow now, it's an
  opt-in feature for test purposes"

* 'for-4.4/io-poll' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  direct-io: be sure to assign dio-&gt;bio_bdev for both paths
  directio: add block polling support
  NVMe: add blk polling support
  block: add block polling support
  blk-mq: return tag/queue combo in the make_request_fn handlers
  block: change -&gt;make_request_fn() and users to return a queue cookie

No functional changes in this patch, but it prepares us for returning
a more useful cookie related to the IO that was queued up.

since each function only uses either one or zero as its return value.

<title>zram: keep the exact overcommited value in mem_used_max</title>

<id>1237275580f3e2b998d355b2ff7f84c6b423aa11</id>
<content type='text'>
`mem_used_max' is designed to store the max amount of memory zram consumed
to store the data.  However, it does not represent the actual
'overcommited' (max) value.  The existing code goes to -ENOMEM
overcommited case before it updates `-&gt;stats.max_used_pages', which hides
the reason we went to -ENOMEM in the first place -- we actually used more
memory than `-&gt;limit_pages':

        alloced_pages = zs_get_total_pages(meta-&gt;mem_pool);
        if (zram-&gt;limit_pages &amp;&amp; alloced_pages &gt; zram-&gt;limit_pages) {
                zs_free(meta-&gt;mem_pool, handle);
                ret = -ENOMEM;
                goto out;
        }

        update_used_max(zram, alloced_pages);

Which is misleading.  User will see -ENOMEM, check `-&gt;limit_pages', check
`-&gt;stats.max_used_pages', which will keep the value BEFORE zram passed
`-&gt;limit_pages', and see:
	`-&gt;stats.max_used_pages' &lt; `-&gt;limit_pages'

Move update_used_max() before we do `-&gt;limit_pages' check, so that
user will see:
	`-&gt;stats.max_used_pages' &gt; `-&gt;limit_pages'
should the overcommit and -ENOMEM happen.

<title>zram: introduce comp algorithm fallback functionality</title>

When the user supplies an unsupported compression algorithm, keep the
previously selected one (knowingly supported) or the default one (if the
compression algorithm hasn't been changed yet).

Note that previously this operation (i.e. setting an invalid algorithm)
would result in no algorithm being selected, which means that this
represents a small change in the default behaviour.

Minchan said:

For initializing zram, we need to set up 3 optional parameters in advance.

1. the number of compression streams
2. memory limitation
3. compression algorithm

Although user pass completely wrong value to set up for 1 and 2
parameters, it's okay because they have default value so zram will be
initialized with the default value (of course, when user passes a wrong
value via *echo*, sysfs returns -EINVAL so the user can notice it).

But 3 is not consistent with other optional parameters.  IOW, if the
user passes a wrong value to set up 3 parameter, zram's initialization
would fail unlike other optional parameters.

So this patch makes them consistent.
