1) User of zram normally do mkfs.xxx or mkswap before using
the zram block device(ex, normally, do it at booting time)
It ends up allocating such metadata of zram before real usage so
benefit of lazy initialzation would be mitigated.
2) Some user want to use zram when memory pressure is high.(ie, load zram
dynamically, NOT booting time). It does make sense because people don't
want to waste memory until memory pressure is high(ie, where zram is really
helpful time). In this case, lazy initialzation could be failed easily
because we will use GFP_NOIO instead of GFP_KERNEL for avoiding deadlock.
So the benefit of lazy initialzation would be mitigated, too.
3) Metadata overhead is not critical and Nitin has a plan to diet it.
4K : 12 byte(64bit machine) -> 64G : 192M so 0.3% isn't big overhead
If insane user use such big zram device up to 20, it could consume 6% of ram
but efficieny of zram will cover the waste.
So this patch gives up lazy initialization and instead we initialize metadata
at disksize setting time.

Now zram document syas "set disksize is optional"
but partly it's wrong. When you try to use zram firstly after
booting, you must set disksize, otherwise zram can't work because
zram gendisk's size is 0. But once you do it, you can use zram freely
after reset because reset doesn't reset to zero paradoxically.
So in this time, disksize setting is optional.:(
It's inconsitent for user behavior and not straightforward.
This patch forces always setting disksize firstly before using zram.
Yes. It changes current behavior so someone could complain when
he upgrades zram. Apparently it could be a problem if zram is mainline
but it still lives in staging so behavior could be changed for right
way to go. Let them excuse.

Now zram allocates new page with GFP_KERNEL in zram I/O path
if IO is partial. Unfortunately, It may cause deadlock with
reclaim path like below.
write_page from fs
fs_lock
allocation(GFP_KERNEL)
reclaim
pageout
write_page from fs
fs_lock <-- deadlock
This patch fixes it by using GFP_NOIO. In read path, we
reorganize code flow so that kmap_atomic is called after the
GFP_NOIO allocation.

of incompressible pages") which caused invalid memory references
during disk write. Invalid references could occur in two cases:
- Incoming data expands on compression: In this case, reference was
made to kunmap()'ed bio page.
- Partial (non PAGE_SIZE) write with incompressible data: In this
case, reference was made to a kfree()'ed buffer.

Change 130f315a (staging: zram: remove special handle of uncompressed page)
introduced a bug in the handling of incompressible pages which resulted in
memory allocation failure for such pages.
When a page expands on compression, say from 4K to 4K+30, we were trying to
do zsmalloc(pool, 4K+30). However, the maximum size which zsmalloc can
allocate is PAGE_SIZE (for obvious reasons), so such allocation requests
always return failure (0).
For a page that has compressed size larger than the original size (this may
happen with already compressed or random data), there is no point storing
the compressed version as that would take more space and would also require
time for decompression when needed again. So, the fix is to store any page,
whose compressed size exceeds a threshold (max_zpage_size), as-it-is i.e.
without compression. Memory required for storing this uncompressed page can
then be requested from zsmalloc which supports PAGE_SIZE sized allocations.
Lastly, the fix checks that we do not attempt to "decompress" the page which
we stored in the uncompressed form -- we just memcpy() out such pages.

xvmalloc can't handle PAGE_SIZE page so that zram have to
handle it specially but zsmalloc can do it so let's remove
unnecessary special handling code.
Quote from Nitin
"I think page vs handle distinction was added since xvmalloc could not
handle full page allocation. Now that zsmalloc allows full page
allocation, we can just use it for both cases. This would also allow
removing the ZRAM_UNCOMPRESSED flag. The only downside will be slightly
slower code path for full page allocation but this event is anyways
supposed to be rare, so should be fine."
1. This patch reduces code very much.

2. change pages_expand with bad_compress so it can count

3. remove zobj_header which is for back-reference for defragmentation
because firstly, it's not used at the moment and zsmalloc can't handle
bigger size than PAGE_SIZE so zram can't do it any more without redesign.

num_devices to zram_num_devices (without updating

as a non-static global variable, polluting the global

Currently, nothing protects zram table from concurrent access.
For instance, ZRAM_UNCOMPRESSED bit can be cleared by zram_free_page()
called from a concurrent write between the time ZRAM_UNCOMPRESSED has
been set and the time it is tested to unmap KM_USER0 in
zram_bvec_write(). This ultimately leads to kernel panic.
Also, a read request can occurs when the page has been freed by a
running write request and before it has been updated, leading to
zero filled block being incorrectly read and "Read before write"
error message.
This patch replace the current mutex by a rw_semaphore. It extends

However, the current implementation of zram only allow operation on block
