Subject: zram: zram_free_page calls in zram_meta_free
The only place where content of zram entry is accessed and even changed without taken zran lock is
zram_free_page() calls from zram_meta_free().
It does not look like problem because zram should not have any users at this point,
however I still do not understand why this is required?
Is it performance optimization? But zram reset is quite rare operation, I doubt it is called
on some performance-critical fast path. Am I missed something perhaps?
I would like to add proper zram_lock/unlock calls around zram_free_page here,
and would like to clarify,perhaps you have any objections?
Thank you,
Vasily Averin
