When a zswap store fails due to the limit, it acquires a pool reference and queues the shrinker. When the shrinker runs, it drops the reference. However, there can be multiple store attempts before the shrinker wakes up and runs once. This results in reference leaks and eventual saturation warnings for the pool refcount. Fix this by dropping the reference again when the shrinker is already queued. This ensures one reference per shrinker run.

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.
