Subject: zram: cond_resched() in writeback loop
Date: Tue, 10 Dec 2024 19:53:55 +0900
Patch series "zram: split page type read/write handling".
This is a subset of [1] series which contains only fixes and improvements
(no new features, as ZRAM_HUGE split is still under consideration).
The motivation for factoring out is that zram_write_page() gets more and
more complex all the time, because it tries to handle too many scenarios:
ZRAM_SAME store, ZRAM_HUGE store, compress page store with zs_malloc
allocation slowpath and conditional recompression, etc. Factor those out
and make things easier to handle.
Addition of cond_resched() is simply a fix, I can trigger watchdog from
zram writeback(). And early slot free is just a reasonable thing to do.

This patch (of 6):
Writeback loop can run for quite a while (depending on wb device
performance, compression algorithm and the number of entries we
writeback), so we need to do cond_resched() there, similarly to what we do
in recompress loop.
