If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From e91d8d78237de8d7120c320b3645b7100848f24d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 5 Dec 2020 22:14:51 -0800 Subject: mm/zsmalloc.c: drop ZSMALLOC_PGTABLE_MAPPING From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx> commit e91d8d78237de8d7120c320b3645b7100848f24d upstream. While I was doing zram testing, I found sometimes decompression failed since the compression buffer was corrupted. With investigation, I found below commit calls cond_resched unconditionally so it could make a problem in atomic context if the task is reschedule.

Even though this option showed some amount improvement(e.g., 30%) in some arm32 platforms, it has been headache to maintain since it have abused APIs[1](e.g., unmap_kernel_range in atomic context). Since we are approaching to deprecate 32bit machines and already made the config option available for only builtin build since v5.8, lastly it has been not default option in zsmalloc, it's time to drop the option for better maintenance.
