[PATCH v2] z3fold: fix reclaim lock-ups

From: Jongseok Kim
Date: Thu May 03 2018 - 02:37:04 EST


In the processing of headless pages, there was a problem that the
zhdr pointed to another page or a page was alread released in
z3fold_free(). So, the wrong page is encoded in headless, or test_bit
does not work properly in z3fold_reclaim_page(). This patch fixed these
problems.
