Please try the following patch against upstream(linus or next) tree(basically
fold revised 2 and 3 of V1, and cover two issues: not fail zram_remove in
module_exit(), race between zram_remove() and disksize_store()), and see if
everything is fine for you:
Page fault ...

That is another race between zram_reset_device() and disksize_store(),
which is supposed to be covered by ->init_lock, and follows the delta fix
against the last patch I posted, and the whole patch can be found in the
github link:

With this, it still ends up in a state where we loop and can't get out of:

zram: Can't change algorithm for initialized device
Again, you are running two zram02.sh[1] on /dev/zram0, that isn't unexpected
behavior. Here the difference is just timing. In my test VM,
this message shows a while on one task, then it may be switched to
another task.

Just run your patches a while, nothing real difference here, and the
following message can be dumped from one task for long time:

	can't set '107374182400' to /sys/block/zram0/disksize

Also you did not answer my question about your test expected result when
running the following script from two terminal concurrently:

	while true; do
		PATH=$PATH:$PWD:$PWD/../../../lib/ ./zram02.sh;
	done
