Subject: [PATCH 0/6] zram: split page type read/write handling

This is a subset of [1] series which contains only fixes and
improvements (no new features, as ZRAM_HUGE split is still
under consideration).

The motivation for factoring out is that zram_write_page()
gets more and more complex all the time, because it tries
to handle too many scenarios: ZRAM_SAME store, ZRAM_HUGE
store, compress page store with zs_malloc allocation slowpath
and conditional recompression, etc.  Factor those out and
make things easier to handle.

Addition of cond_resched() is simply a fix, I can trigger
watchdog from zram writeback().  And early slot free is
just a reasonable thing to do.

Sergey Senozhatsky (6):
  zram: cond_resched() in writeback loop
  zram: free slot memory early during write
  zram: remove entry element member
  zram: factor out ZRAM_SAME write
  zram: factor out ZRAM_HUGE write
  zram: factor out different page types read
