Its filename is zram-use-zram_read_from_zspool-in-writeback.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/zram-use-zram_read_from_zspool-in-writeback.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: zram: use zram_read_from_zspool() in writeback Date: Wed, 18 Dec 2024 15:34:23 +0900 We only can read pages from zspool in writeback, zram_read_page() is not really right in that context not only because it's a more generic function that handles ZRAM_WB pages, but also because it requires us to unlock slot between slot flag check and actual page read. Use zram_read_from_zspool() instead and do slot flags check and page read under the same slot lock.
