SubjectLockdep complain for zram
Hi alls,

Today, I saw below complain of lockdep.
As a matter of fact, I knew it long time ago but forgot that.
The reason lockdep complains is that now zram uses GFP_KERNEL
in reclaim path(ex, __zram_make_request) :(
I can fix it via replacing GFP_KERNEL with GFP_NOIO.
But more big problem is vzalloc in zram_init_device which calls GFP_KERNEL.
Of course, I can change it with __vmalloc which can receive gfp_t.
But still we have a problem. Althoug __vmalloc can handle gfp_t, it calls
allocation of GFP_KERNEL. That's why I sent the patch.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/23/77
Since then, I forgot it, saw the bug today and poped the question again.

Yes. Fundamental problem is utter crap API vmalloc.
If we can fix it, everyone would be happy. But life isn't simple like seeing
my thread of the patch.

So next option is to move zram_init_device into setting disksize time.
But it makes unnecessary metadata waste until zram is used really(That's why
Nitin move zram_init_device from disksize setting time to make_request) and
it makes user should set the disksize before using, which are behavior change.

I would like to clean up this issue before promoting because it might change
usage behavior.

Do you have any idea?
