commit 02073798a6 upstream.
Commit 835f2f5 ("staging: zcache: enable zcache to be built/loaded as
a module") introduced an incorrect handling of "zcache=" parameter.
Inside zcache_comp_init() function, zcache_comp_name variable is
checked for being empty. If not empty, the above variable is tested
for being compatible with Crypto API. Unfortunately, after that
function ends unconditionally (by the "goto out" directive) and returns:
- non-zero value if verification succeeded, wrongly indicating an error
- zero value if verification failed, falsely informing that function
zcache_comp_init() ended properly.
A solution to this problem is as following:
1. Move the "goto out" directive inside the "if (!ret)" statement
2. In case that crypto_has_comp() returned 0, change the value of ret
to non-zero before "goto out" to indicate an error.
This patch replaces an earlier one from Michal Hocko (based on report
from Cristian Rodriguez):
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/102484
It also addressed the same issue but didn't fix the zcache_comp_init()
for case when the compressor data passed to "zcache=" option was invalid
or unsupported.

Allow zcache to be built/loaded as a module. Note runtime dependency
disallows loading if cleancache/frontswap lazy initialization patches
are not present. Zsmalloc support has not yet been merged into zcache
but, once merged, could now easily be selected via a module_param.
If built-in (not built as a module), the original mechanism of enabling
via a kernel boot parameter is retained, but this should be considered
deprecated.
Note that module unload is explicitly not yet supported.

be merged, most of knods in zcache debugfs just export zero since these variables
are defined in debug.h but are in use in multiple C files zcache-main.c and debug.c,
in this case variables can't be treated as shared variables.

Increment/decrement zcache_[eph|pers]_zpages for zero-filled pages,
the main point of the counters for zpages and pageframes is to be
able to calculate density == zpages/pageframes. A zero-filled page
becomes a zpage that "compresses" to zero bytes and, as a result,
requires zero pageframes for storage. So the zpages counter should
be increased but the pageframes counter should not.

Compression of zero-filled pages can unneccessarily cause internal
fragmentation, and thus waste memory. This special case can be
optimized.
This patch captures zero-filled pages, and marks their corresponding
zcache backing page entry as zero-filled. Whenever such zero-filled
page is retrieved, we fill the page frame with zero.
