[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: zram: do not permit params change after init
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     zram-do-not-permit-params-change-after-init.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: zram: do not permit params change after init

Patch series "zram: recompression cleanups and tweaks", v2.

This series is a somewhat random mix of fixups, recompression cleanups and
improvements partly based on internal conversations.  A few patches in the
series remove unexpected or confusing behaviour, e.g.  auto correction of
bad priority= param for recompression, which should have always been just
an error.  Then it also removes "chain recompression" which has a tricky,
unexpected and confusing behaviour at times.  We also unify and harden the
handling of algo/priority params.  There is also an addition of missing
device lock in algorithm_params_store() which previously permitted
modification of algo params while the device is active.


This patch (of 6):

First, algorithm_params_store(), like any sysfs handler, should grab
device lock.

Second, like any write() sysfs handler, it should grab device lock in
exclusive mode.

Third, it should not permit change of algos' parameters after device init,
as this doesn't make sense - we cannot compress with one C/D dict and then
just change C/D dict to a different one, for example.

Another thing to notice is that algorithm_params_store() accesses device's
->comp_algs for algo priority lookup, which should be protected by device
lock in exclusive mode in general.
