From 92967471b67163bb1654e9b7fe99449ab70a4aaa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minchan Kim Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2014 15:46:03 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] zram: introduce zram->tb_lock Currently, the zram table is protected by zram->lock but it's rather coarse-grained lock and it makes hard for scalibility. Let's use own rwlock instead of depending on zram->lock. This patch adds new locking so obviously, it would make slow but this patch is just prepartion for removing coarse-grained rw_semaphore(ie, zram->lock) which is hurdle about zram scalability. Final patch in this patchset series will remove the lock from read-path and change rw_semaphore with mutex in write path. With bonus, we could drop pending slot free mess in next patch.
