From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@xxxxxxxx>
Most compressors are actually CPU-based and won't sleep during
compression and decompression. We should remove the redundant
memcpy for them.
This patch checks if the algorithm is sleepable by testing the
CRYPTO_ALG_ASYNC algorithm flag.
Generally speaking, async and sleepable are semantically similar
but not equal. But for compress drivers, they are basically equal
at least due to the below facts.
Firstly, scompress drivers - crypto/deflate.c, lz4.c, zstd.c,
lzo.c etc have no sleep. Secondly, zRAM has been using these
scompress drivers for years in atomic contexts, and never
worried those drivers going to sleep.
One exception is that an async driver can sometimes still return
synchronously per Herbert's clarification. In this case, we are
still having a redundant memcpy. But we can't know if one
particular acomp request will sleep or not unless crypto can
expose more details for each specific request from offload
drivers.
