commit 2395928158059b8f9858365fce7713ce7fef62e4 upstream. There exists multiple path may do zram compaction concurrently. 1. auto-compaction triggered during memory reclaim 2. userspace utils write zram<id>/compaction node So, multiple threads may call zs_shrinker_scan/zs_compact concurrently. But pages_compacted is a per zsmalloc pool variable and modification of the variable is not serialized(through under class->lock). There are two issues here: 1. the pages_compacted may not equal to total number of pages freed(due to concurrently add). 2. zs_shrinker_scan may not return the correct number of pages freed(issued by current shrinker). The fix is simple: 1. account the number of pages freed in zs_compact locally. 2. use actomic variable pages_compacted to accumulate total number.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
