zswap per-CPU acomp_ctx resources track the pool's lifetime

[PATCH v1 2/2] mm: zswap: Consistently use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to check acomp_ctx resources.

Posted by Kanchana P Sridhar 7 months ago

This patch uses IS_ERR_OR_NULL() in zswap_cpu_comp_prepare() to check
for valid acomp/req, thereby making it consistent with acomp_ctx_dealloc().

Is acomp_ctx_dealloc() introduced by the other patch series? I can't
seem to find it.

Also, why IS_ERR_OR_NULL() in the first place. Can
crypto_alloc_acomp_node() returns NULL?

Saw your follow-up response :)

This is based on this earlier comment [1] from Yosry, when reviewing v8.

[1] https://patchwork.kernel.org/comment/26282128/

Since my commit was refactoring the code from zswap_cpu_comp_dead()
into the new acomp_ctx_dealloc(), my implementation of acomp_ctx_dealloc()
preserved the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() checks on acomp_ctx, req and acomp from
the existing implementation of zswap_cpu_comp_dead().

With this patch-series, the resulting acomp_ctx_dealloc() is called from:

1) zswap_cpu_comp_prepare() when an error is encountered,
2) zswap_pool_create() when an error is encountered, and
3) from zswap_pool_destroy().

Hope this clarifies the context some more.

Thanks,
Kanchana

Ah nvm I found it in the other patch!
