Hi everyone,

Changes in v5:
- Drop the first patch and change to use 2 pages for acomp_ctx buffer.
  Related report link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/[e-mail]/
- Add comment why we need 2 pages for compression in the last patch.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v4:
- Collect Reviewed-by and Acked-by tags.
- Fold in the comment fix in zswap_writeback_entry() from Yosry Ahmed.
- Add patch to change per-cpu mutex and dstmem to per-acomp_ctx.
- Just rename crypto_acomp_ctx->dstmem field to buffer.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v3:
- Collect Reviewed-by tag.
- Drop the __zswap_store() refactoring part.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

Changes in v2:
- Add more changelog and test data about changing dstmem to one page.
- Reorder patches to put dstmem reusing and __zswap_load() refactoring
  together, still refactor after dstmem reusing since we don't want
  to handle __zswap_load() failure due to memory allocation failure
  in zswap_writeback_entry().
- Append a patch to directly use percpu mutex and buffer in load/store
  and refactor out __zswap_store() to simplify zswap_store().
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[e-mail]

This series is split from [1] to only include zswap dstmem reuse
optimizations and cleanups, the other part of rbtree breakdown will
be deferred to retest after the rbtree converted to xarray.

And the problem this series tries to optimize is that zswap_load()
and zswap_writeback_entry() have to malloc a temporary memory to
support !zpool_can_sleep_mapped(). We can avoid it by reusing the
percpu crypto_acomp_ctx->dstmem, which is also used by zswap_store()
and protected by the same percpu crypto_acomp_ctx->mutex.
