Hi Timofey,

Your patch change zram behaviour. Please describe what changes from
the user point of view and update Documentation/blockdev/zram.txt
accordingly.

Why do you set ret to EINVAL here? It's never used.

That label is useless. Just use return.

If ret is only used to test that create_device() succeeded, then we
can get rid of that variable altogether.
