Subject: zram: fix unbalanced idr management at hot removal
From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>
commit 529e71e16403830ae0d737a66c55c5f360f3576b upstream.
The zram hot removal code calls idr_remove() even when zram_remove()
returns an error (typically -EBUSY). This results in a leftover at the
device release, eventually leading to a crash when the module is
reloaded.
As described in the bug report below, the following procedure would
cause an Oops with zram:
- provision three zram devices via modprobe zram num_devices=3
- configure a size for each device
+ echo "1G" > /sys/block/$zram_name/disksize
- mkfs and mount zram0 only
- attempt to hot remove all three devices
+ echo 2 > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
+ echo 1 > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
- zram0 removal fails with EBUSY, as expected
- unmount zram0
- try zram0 hot remove again
+ echo 0 > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
- fails with ENODEV (unexpected)
- unload zram kernel module
+ completes successfully
- zram0 device node still exists
- attempt to mount /dev/zram0
+ mount command is killed
+ following BUG is encountered

This patch adds the proper error check in hot_remove_store() not to call
idr_remove() unconditionally.
