I think this implementation of yours is pretty clean and simple because this one hides every error paths inside zram_bvec_{read,write}, so we do not need to consider covering the stat code to everywhere of inside. IMHO, your implementation also fixed the issue in following call chain: ->zram_bvec_rw ->zram_bvec_write ->zram_decompress_page ->atomic64_inc(failed_reads) ---at perspective of user, this kind of failure should be regarded as the write one's, because user pay fewer attention to inner error of zram. Please correct me if I'm wrong, and thanks for your review and suggestion. :) Regards, Yu > > int zram_bvec_rw(..) > { > if (rw == READ) { > atomic64_inc(num_reads); > ret = zram_bvec_read(xxx); > } else { > atomic64_inc(&num_writes); > ret = zram_bvec_write(xxx); > } > > if (unlikely(ret)) { > if (rw == READ) > atomic64_inc(failed_reads); > else > atomic64_inc(failed_writes); > } > } > > > > > > > -- > > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in > > the body of a message to [email protected] > > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html > > Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ > > -- > Kind regards, > Minchan Kim -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
