zram: fix lockdep warning of free block handling
[ Upstream commit 3c9959e025472122a61faebb208525cf26b305d1 ]
Patch series "zram idle page writeback", v3.
Inherently, swap device has many idle pages which are rare touched since
it was allocated. It is never problem if we use storage device as swap.
However, it's just waste for zram-swap.
This patchset supports zram idle page writeback feature.
* Admin can define what is idle page "no access since X time ago"
* Admin can define when zram should writeback them
* Admin can define when zram should stop writeback to prevent wearout
Details are in each patch's description.

With writeback feature, zram_slot_free_notify could be called in softirq
context by end_swap_bio_read. However, bitmap_lock is not aware of that
so lockdep yell out:
get_entry_bdev
spin_lock(bitmap->lock);
irq
softirq
end_swap_bio_read
zram_slot_free_notify
zram_slot_lock <-- deadlock prone
zram_free_page
put_entry_bdev
spin_lock(bitmap->lock); <-- deadlock prone
With akpm's suggestion (i.e. bitmap operation is already atomic), we
could remove bitmap lock. It might fail to find a empty slot if serious
contention happens. However, it's not severe problem because huge page
writeback has already possiblity to fail if there is severe memory
pressure. Worst case is just keeping the incompressible in memory, not
storage.
The other problem is zram_slot_lock in zram_slot_slot_free_notify. To
make it safe is this patch introduces zram_slot_trylock where
zram_slot_free_notify uses it. Although it's rare to be contented, this
patch adds new debug stat "miss_free" to keep monitoring how often it
happens.
