Vitaly Wool ca0246bb97 z3fold: fix possible reclaim races
Reclaim and free can race on an object which is basically fine but in
order for reclaim to be able to map "freed" object we need to encode
object length in the handle.  handle_to_chunks() is then introduced to
extract object length from a handle and use it during mapping.

Moreover, to avoid racing on a z3fold "headless" page release, we should
not try to free that page in z3fold_free() if the reclaim bit is set.
Also, in the unlikely case of trying to reclaim a page being freed, we
should not proceed with that page.

While at it, fix the page accounting in reclaim function.

This patch supersedes "[PATCH] z3fold: fix reclaim lock-ups".

README

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.
