RFC
This is Part II of the series [1] that makes zram read() and write()
preemptible. This part focuses only zsmalloc because zsmalloc imposes
atomicity restrictions on its users. One notable example is object
mapping API, which returns with:
a) local CPU lock held
b) zspage rwlock held
First, zsmalloc is converted to use sleepable locks for internal
structs/data managements. Second, a new handle mapping is introduced
(temporarily, until we remove zs_map_object/zs_unmap_object) which
doesn't use per-CPU buffers (and hence local CPU lock) but requires
users to provide a pointer to temp buffer for objects copy-in (when
needed) so the callers now should be able to schedule while having
objects mapped.
The series makes zsmalloc preemptible which, in turn, makes zram read()
preemptible.
