Revert "zram: remove double compression logic"
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This reverts commit e7be8d1 ("zram: remove double compression
logic") as it causes zram failures.  It does not revert cleanly, PTR_ERR
handling was introduced in the meantime.  This is handled by appropriate
IS_ERR.

When under memory pressure, zs_malloc() can fail.  Before the above
commit, the allocation was retried with direct reclaim enabled (GFP_NOIO).
After the commit, it is not -- only __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is tried.

So when the failure occurs under memory pressure, the overlaying
filesystem such as ext2 (mounted by ext4 module in this case) can emit
failures, making the (file)system unusable:
  EXT4-fs warning (device zram0): ext4_end_bio:343: I/O error 10 writing to inode 16386 starting block 159744)
  Buffer I/O error on device zram0, logical block 159744

With direct reclaim, memory is really reclaimed and allocation succeeds,
eventually.  In the worst case, the oom killer is invoked, which is proper
outcome if user sets up zram too large (in comparison to available RAM).

This very diff doesn't apply to 5.19 (stable) cleanly (see PTR_ERR note
above). Use revert of e7be8d1 directly.
