zram: revalidate disk under init_lock
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit b4c5c60 ("zram: avoid lockdep splat by revalidate_disk")
moved revalidate_disk call out of init_lock to avoid lockdep
false-positive splat.  However, commit 08eee69 ("zram: remove
init_lock in zram_make_request") removed init_lock in IO path so there
is no worry about lockdep splat.  So, let's restore it.

This patch is needed to set BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES atomically in next
patch.

Fixes: da9556a ("zram: user per-cpu compression streams")
