Just matter of preference. I don't mind it.
Will use it in next spin.

I don't understnad it. Why does it that use zram_check_plugged directly reduce
count things you mentioned?

Sorry. I can't understand your point.

In this loop, anybody doesn't call zram_meta_get.
It should be called by IO queuing routine. !bio_req case above is rw_page thing
so each page_req IO request holds a reference of zram_meta and
in here, service routine release the refernce after IO done.

You're right. bio-based request case should be fixed.

We have been used sysfs for tune the zram for a long time.
Please suggest ideas if you have better. :)
