[PATCH v3 2/3] zram: revalidate disk under init_lock

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org>
Date: 2016-11-25 08:51:05
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: block layer, the rest, zram compressed ram block device drvier · Maintainers: Jens Axboe, Linus Torvalds, Minchan Kim, Sergey Senozhatsky

[1] moved revalidate_disk call out of init_lock to avoid lockdep
false-positive splat. However, [2] remove init_lock in IO path
so there is no worry about lockdep splat. So, let's restore it.
This patch need to set BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES atomically in
next patch.

[1] b4c5c60920e3: zram: avoid lockdep splat by revalidate_disk
[2] 08eee69fcf6b: zram: remove init_lock in zram_make_request
