zswap: re-check zswap_is_full() after do zswap_shrink()
/sys/../zswap/stored_pages keeps rising in a zswap test with "zswap.max_pool_percent=0" parameter. But it should not compress or store pages any more since there is no space in the compressed pool. Reproduce steps: 1. Boot kernel with "zswap.enabled=1" 2. Set the max_pool_percent to 0 # echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/max_pool_percent 3. Do memory stress test to see if some pages have been compressed # stress --vm 1 --vm-bytes $mem_available"M" --timeout 60s 4. Watching the 'stored_pages' number increasing or not The root cause is: When zswap_max_pool_percent is set to 0 via kernel parameter, zswap_is_full() will always return true due to zswap_shrink(). But if the shinking is able to reclain a page successfully the code then proceeds to compressing/storing another page, so the value of stored_pages will keep changing. To solve the issue, this patch adds a zswap_is_full() check again after zswap_shrink() to make sure it's now under the max_pool_percent, and to not compress/store if we reached the limit.
