From da4a04126baa3be03bc566d4a2ee0944c5e783d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minchan Kim Date: Thu, 30 Jan 2014 15:45:58 -0800 Subject: zram: fix race between reset and flushing pending work Dan and Sergey reported that there is a racy between reset and flushing of pending work so that it could make oops by freeing zram->meta in reset while zram_slot_free can access zram->meta if new request is adding during the race window. This patch moves flush after taking init_lock so it prevents new request so that it closes the race.
