Minchan Kim 2b269ce6fc zram: check bd_openers instead of bd_holders
bd_holders is increased only when user open the device file as FMODE_EXCL
so if something opens zram0 as !FMODE_EXCL and request I/O while another
user reset zram0, we can see following warning.

  zram0: detected capacity change from 0 to 64424509440

The warning comes from bdev_write_node in blkdev_put path.

   static void bdev_write_inode(struct inode *inode)
   {
        spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
        while (inode->i_state & I_DIRTY) {
                spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
                WARN_ON_ONCE(write_inode_now(inode, true)); <========= here.
                spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
        }
        spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
   }

The reason is dd process encounters I/O fails due to sudden block device
disappear so in filemap_check_errors in __writeback_single_inode returns
-EIO.

If we check bd_openers instead of bd_holders, we could address the
problem.  When I see the brd, it already have used it rather than
bd_holders so although I'm not a expert of block layer, it seems to be
better.

I can make following warning with below simple script.  In addition, I
added msleep(2000) below set_capacity(zram->disk, 0) after applying your
patch to make window huge(Kudos to Ganesh!)

script:

   echo $((60<<30)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
   setsid dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/zram0 &
   sleep 1
   setsid echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset
