Subject: Re: [PATCH v1 2/2] zram: remove init_lock in zram_make_request

Hello, Minchan:

2015-01-28 16:15 GMT+08:00 Minchan Kim <minchan@...nel.org>:
> Admin could reset zram during I/O operation going on so we have
> used zram->init_lock as read-side lock in I/O path to prevent

When I/O operation is running, that means the /dev/zram0 is
mounted or swaped on. Then the device could not be reset by
below code:

    /* Do not reset an active device! */
    if (bdev->bd_holders) {
        ret = -EBUSY;
        goto out;
    }

So the zram->init_lock in I/O path is to check whether the device
has been initialized(echo xxx > /sys/block/zram/disk_size).

Is that right?

I do not know much about the lockdep.

enabled the CONFIG_LOCKDEP, But from the test, there is no warning
printed. Could you please tell me how this happened?

Thanks.

Should this be after synchronize_srcu()?
