Subject: [PATCH v2 03/10] zram: use zram->lock to protect zram_free_page() in swap free notify path
Date: Wed,  5 Jun 2013 00:06:01 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1370361968-8764-3-git-send-email-jiang.liu@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1370361968-8764-1-git-send-email-jiang.liu@huawei.com>

zram_free_page() is protected by down_write(&zram->lock) when called by
zram_bvec_write(), but there's no such protection when called by
zram_slot_free_notify(), which may cause wrong states to zram object.

There are two possible consequences of this issue:
1) It may cause invalid memory access if we read from a zram device used
   as swap device. (Not sure whether it's legal to make read/write
   requests to a zram device used as swap device.)
2) It may cause some fields (bad_compress, good_compress, pages_stored)
   in zram->stats wrong if the swap layer makes concurrently call to
   zram_slot_free_notify().

So enhance zram_slot_free_notify() to acquire writer lock on zram->lock
before calling zram_free_page().
