Change the "enabled" parameter to be configurable at runtime. Remove the
enabled check from init(), and move it to the frontswap store() function;
when enabled, pages will be stored, and when disabled, pages won't be
stored.
This is almost identical to Seth's patch from 2 years ago:

Improvement idea by Marcin Jabrzyk.
comp_algorithm_store() silently accepts any supplied algorithm name,
because zram performs algorithm availability check later, during the
device configuration phase in disksize_store() and emits the following
error:
"zram: Cannot initialise %s compressing backend"
this error line is somewhat generic and, besides, can indicate a failed
attempt to allocate compression backend's working buffers.
add algorithm availability check to comp_algorithm_store():
echo lzz > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Supplied sysfs values sometimes contain new-line symbols (echo vs. echo
-n), which we also copy as a compression algorithm name. it works fine
when we lookup for compression algorithm, because we use sysfs_streq()
which takes care of new line symbols. however, it doesn't look nice when
we print compression algorithm name if zcomp_create() failed:
zram: Cannot initialise LXZ
compressing backend
cut trailing new-line, so the error string will look like
zram: Cannot initialise LXZ compressing backend
we also now can replace sysfs_streq() in zcomp_available_show() with
strcmp().

`bool locked' local variable tells us if we should perform
zcomp_strm_release() or not (jumped to `out' label before
zcomp_strm_find() occurred), which is equivalent to `zstrm' being or not
being NULL. remove `locked' and check `zstrm' instead.

We currently don't support on-demand device creation. The one and only
way to have N zram devices is to specify num_devices module parameter
(default value: 1). IOW if, for some reason, at some point, user wants
to have N + 1 devies he/she must umount all the existing devices, unload
the module, load the module passing num_devices equals to N + 1. And do
this again, if needed.
This patch introduces zram control sysfs class, which has two sysfs
attrs:
- hot_add -- add a new zram device
- hot_remove -- remove a specific (device_id) zram device
hot_add sysfs attr is read-only and has only automatic device id
assignment mode (as requested by Minchan Kim). read operation performed
on this attr creates a new zram device and returns back its device_id or
error status.
Usage example:
# add a new specific zram device
cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add
2
# remove a specific zram device
echo 4 > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
Returning zram_add() error code back to user (-ENOMEM in this case)
cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add
cat: /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add: Cannot allocate memory
NOTE, there might be users who already depend on the fact that at least
zram0 device gets always created by zram_init(). Preserve this behavior.

[ Original patch from Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> ]
Commit ba6b17d68c ("zram: fix umount-reset_store-mount race
condition") introduced bdev->bd_mutex to protect a race between mount
and reset. At that time, we don't have dynamic zram-add/remove feature
so it was okay.
However, as we introduce dynamic device feature, bd_mutex became
trouble.
CPU 0
echo 1 > /sys/block/zram<id>/reset
-> kernfs->s_active(A)
-> zram:reset_store->bd_mutex(B)
CPU 1
echo <id> > /sys/class/zram/zram-remove
->zram:zram_remove: bd_mutex(B)
-> sysfs_remove_group
-> kernfs->s_active(A)
IOW, AB -> BA deadlock
The reason we are holding bd_mutex for zram_remove is to prevent
any incoming open /dev/zram[0-9]. Otherwise, we could remove zram
others already have opened. But it causes above deadlock problem.
To fix the problem, this patch overrides block_device.open and
it returns -EBUSY if zram asserts he claims zram to reset so any
incoming open will be failed so we don't need to hold bd_mutex
for zram_remove ayn more.
This patch is to prepare for zram-add/remove feature.

With dynamic device creation/removal (which will be introduced later in
the series) printing num_devices in zram_init() will not make a lot of
sense, as well as printing the number of destroyed devices in
destroy_devices(). Print per-device action (added/removed) in zram_add()
and zram_remove() instead.
Example:
[ 3645.259652] zram: Added device: zram5
[ 3646.152074] zram: Added device: zram6
[ 3650.585012] zram: Removed device: zram5
[ 3655.845584] zram: Added device: zram8

Limiting the number of zram devices to 32 (default max_num_devices value)
is confusing, let's drop it. A user with 2TB or 4TB of RAM, for example,
can request as many devices as he can handle.

This patch looks big, but basically it just moves code blocks.
No functional changes.
Our current code layout looks like a sandwitch.
For example,
a) between read/write handlers, we have update_used_max() helper function:
static int zram_decompress_page
static int zram_bvec_read
static inline void update_used_max
static int zram_bvec_write
static int zram_bvec_rw
b) RW request handlers __zram_make_request/zram_bio_discard are divided by
sysfs attr reset_store() function and corresponding zram_reset_device()
handler:
static void zram_bio_discard
static void zram_reset_device
static ssize_t disksize_store
static ssize_t reset_store
static void __zram_make_request
c) we first a bunch of sysfs read/store functions. then a number of
one-liners, then helper functions, RW functions, sysfs functions, helper
functions again, and so on.
Reorganize layout to be more logically grouped (a brief description,
`cat zram_drv.c | grep static` gives a bigger picture):
-- one-liners: zram_test_flag/etc.
-- helpers: is_partial_io/update_position/etc
-- sysfs attr show/store functions + ZRAM_ATTR_RO() generated stats
show() functions
exception: reset and disksize store functions are required to be after
meta() functions. because we do device create/destroy actions in these
sysfs handlers.
-- "mm" functions: meta get/put, meta alloc/free, page free
static inline bool zram_meta_get
static inline void zram_meta_put
static void zram_meta_free
static struct zram_meta *zram_meta_alloc
static void zram_free_page
-- a block of I/O functions
static int zram_decompress_page
static int zram_bvec_read
static int zram_bvec_write
static void zram_bio_discard
static int zram_bvec_rw
static void __zram_make_request
static void zram_make_request
static void zram_slot_free_notify
static int zram_rw_page
-- device contol: add/remove/init/reset functions (+zram-control class
will sit here)
static int zram_reset_device
static ssize_t reset_store
static ssize_t disksize_store
static int zram_add
static void zram_remove
static int __init zram_init
static void __exit zram_exit

This patch makes some preparations for on-demand device add/remove
functionality.
Remove `zram_devices' array and switch to id-to-pointer translation (idr).
idr doesn't bloat zram struct with additional members, f.e. list_head,
yet still provides ability to match the device_id with the device pointer.
No user-space visible changes.

We currently don't support zram on-demand device creation. The only way
to have N zram devices is to specify num_devices module parameter (default
value 1). That means that if, for some reason, at some point, user wants
to have N + 1 devies he/she must umount all the existing devices, unload
the module, load the module passing num_devices equals to N + 1.
This patchset introduces zram-control sysfs class, which has two sysfs
attrs:
- hot_add -- add a new zram device
- hot_remove -- remove a specific (device_id) zram device
Usage example:

# remove a specific zram device
echo 4 > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove

There is a potential bug with KVM and hugetlbfs if the hardware does not
support hugepages (EDAT1). We fix this by making EDAT1 a hard requirement
for hugepages and therefore removing and simplifying code.
As s390, with the sw-emulated hugepages, was the only user of
arch_prepare/release_hugepage I also removed theses calls from common and
other architecture code.
This patch (of 5):
By dropping support for hugepages on machines which do not have the
hardware feature EDAT1, we fix a potential s390 KVM bug.
The bug would happen if a guest is backed by hugetlbfs (not supported
currently), but does not get pagetables with PGSTE. This would lead to
random memory overwrites.
