Subject: [PATCH] z3fold: fix retry mechanism in page reclaim
Date: Sun, 8 Sep 2019 16:29:19 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190908162919.830388dc7404d1e2c80f4095@gmail.com> (raw)

z3fold_page_reclaim()'s retry mechanism is broken: on a second
iteration it will have zhdr from the first one so that zhdr
is no longer in line with struct page. That leads to crashes when
the system is stressed.

Fix that by moving zhdr assignment up.

While at it, protect against using already freed handles by using
own local slots structure in z3fold_page_reclaim().
