From 779b9955f64327c339a16f68055af98252fd3315 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yosry Ahmed yosryahmed@google.com Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2025 21:44:58 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] mm: zswap: move allocations during CPU init outside the lock

In zswap_cpu_comp_prepare(), allocations are made and assigned to various members of acomp_ctx under acomp_ctx->mutex. However, allocations may recurse into zswap through reclaim, trying to acquire the same mutex and deadlocking.

Move the allocations before the mutex critical section. Only the initialization of acomp_ctx needs to be done with the mutex held.
