we use ->init_lock not to make attrs exclusive, but to prevent concurrent reset/etc. > Signed-off-by: Geliang Tang <geliangt...@gmail.com> > --- > drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c | 10 +++++----- > 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c b/drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c > index 7454cf1..cfed743 100644 > --- a/drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c > +++ b/drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c > @@ -293,13 +293,13 @@ static ssize_t mem_used_max_store(struct device *dev, > if (err || val != 0) > return -EINVAL; > > - down_read(&zram->init_lock); > + down_write(&zram->init_lock); > if (init_done(zram)) { > struct zram_meta *meta = zram->meta; > atomic_long_set(&zram->stats.max_used_pages, > zs_get_total_pages(meta->mem_pool)); > } > - up_read(&zram->init_lock); > + up_write(&zram->init_lock); not critical. can work. > return len; > } > @@ -372,15 +372,15 @@ static ssize_t compact_store(struct device *dev, > struct zram *zram = dev_to_zram(dev); > struct zram_meta *meta; > > - down_read(&zram->init_lock); > + down_write(&zram->init_lock); > if (!init_done(zram)) { > - up_read(&zram->init_lock); > + up_write(&zram->init_lock); > return -EINVAL; > } > > meta = zram->meta; > zs_compact(meta->mem_pool); > - up_read(&zram->init_lock); > + up_write(&zram->init_lock); pool compaction can take some time. *probably* seconds in the worst case, when the device is under IO pressure and class' locks are heavily contended and every class has a considerable number of objects to move. so I think we don't want to block other attrs while we compact the pool, compaction takes care of the concurrency internally. -ss
