[PATCH 0/3] z3fold: stability / rt fixes

[Vitaly Wool]

This patchset addresses z3fold stability issues under stress load,
primarily in the reclaim and free aspects. Besides, it fixes the
locking problems that were only seen in real-time kernel
configuration.

Vitaly Wool (2):
  z3fold: simplify freeing slots
  z3fold: stricter locking and more careful reclaim

Mike Galbraith (1):
  z3fold: Remove preempt disabled sections for RT

[PATCH 1/3] z3fold: simplify freeing slots

[Vitaly Wool]

There used to be two places in the code where slots could be freed,
namely when freeing the last allocated handle from the slots and
when releasing the z3fold header these slots aree linked to. The
logic to decide on whether to free certain slots was complicated
and error prone in both functions and it led to failures in RT case.

To fix that, make free_handle() the single point of freeing slots.

[PATCH 2/3] z3fold: Remove preempt disabled sections for RT

[Vitaly Wool]

Replace get_cpu_ptr() with migrate_disable()+this_cpu_ptr()
so RT can take spinlocks that become sleeping locks.

[PATCH 3/3] z3fold: stricter locking and more careful reclaim

[Vitaly Wool]

Use temporary slots in reclaim function to avoid possible race when
freeing those.

While at it, make sure we check CLAIMED flag under page lock in the
reclaim function to make sure we are not racing with z3fold_alloc().
