Subject[PATCH v2 0/4]zram: locking redesign
Date
Currently, zram->lock rw_semaphore is coarse-grained so it hurts
for scalability.
This patch try to enhance it with remove the lock in read path.

[1] uses atomic opeartion so it removes dependency of 32bit stat
from zram->lock.
[2] introduces table own lock instead of relying on zram->lock.
[3] remove free pending slot mess so it makes core very clean.
[4] finally removes zram->lock in read path and changes it with mutex.

So, output is wonderful. read/write mixed workload performs well
11 times than old and write concurrency is also enhanced because
mutex supports SPIN_ON_OWNER while rw_semaphore doesn't yet.
(I know recenty there were some effort to enhance it for rw_semaphore
from Tim Chen but not sure it got merged. Anyway, we don't need it
any more and there is no reason to prevent read-write concurrency)

Thanks.

[1] zram: use atomic operation for stat
[2] zram: introduce zram->tb_lock
[3] zram: remove workqueue for freeing removed pending slot
[4] zram: Remove zram->lock in read path and change it with mutex
