We already unregister shrinker so there is no upcoming async free call
via shrinker so the only concern is zs_compact API direct call from
the user. Is that what what you desribe from the description?

If so, can't we add a flag to indicate destroy of the pool and
global counter to indicate how many of zs_compact was nested?

So, zs_unregister_migration in zs_destroy_pool can set the flag to
prevent upcoming zs_compact call and wait until the global counter
will be zero. Once it's done, finally flush the work.

My point is it's not a per-class granuarity but global.

Thanks.
