From 9b353db16d18f87242337e3e61a948c023505a65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minchan Kim Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2014 15:46:00 -0800 Subject: zram: delay pending free request in read path Sergey reported we don't need to handle pending free request every I/O so that this patch removes it in read path while we remain it in write path. Let's consider below example. Swap subsystem ask to zram "A" block free by swap_slot_free_notify but zram had been pended it without real freeing. Swap subsystem allocates "A" block for new data but request pended for a long time just handled and zram blindly free new data on the "A" block. :( That's why we couldn't remove handle pending free request right before zram-write.
