[PATCH v5 1/4] zram: Fix deadlock bug in partial write

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Now zram allocates new page with GFP_KERNEL in zram I/O path
if IO is partial. Unfortunately, It may cuase deadlock with
reclaim path so this patch solves the problem.
