[PATCH v2] zram_drv: allow reclaim on bio_alloc

From: Jaewon Kim
Date: Tue Sep 07 2021 - 20:52:24 EST


The read_from_bdev_async is not called on atomic context. So GFP_NOIO is
available rather than GFP_ATOMIC. If there were reclaimable pages with
GFP_NOIO, we can avoid allocation failure and page fault failure.
