I was on the fence about this, so I thought I would just send it and
see what others think.
On one hand it makes the initialization more robust because the
zswap_entry is always in a clean identifiable state, but on the other
hand it adds churn to the normal path as you noticed. Also after
removing handling zero-length entries from the failure path it isn't
that bad without this patch anyway.
So if no one else thinks this is useful, I will drop the patch in the
next version.
Thanks!
