Again, you are running two zram02.sh[1] on /dev/zram0, that isn't unexpected
behavior. Here the difference is just timing. In my test VM,
this message shows a while on one task, then it may be switched to
another task.

Just run your patches a while, nothing real difference here, and the
following message can be dumped from one task for long time:

	can't set '107374182400' to /sys/block/zram0/disksize

Also you did not answer my question about your test expected result when
running the following script from two terminal concurrently:

	while true; do
		PATH=$PATH:$PWD:$PWD/../../../lib/ ./zram02.sh;
	done

Thanks,
