Subject: [PATCH 278/347] mm/zswap: Do not disable preemption in
 zswap_frontswap_store()
Origin: https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.19/older/patches-4.19.246-rt110.tar.xz

[ Upstream commit 4e4cf4be79635e67144632d9135286381acbc95a ]

Zswap causes "BUG: scheduling while atomic" by blocking on a rt_spin_lock() with
preemption disabled. The preemption is disabled by get_cpu_var() in
zswap_frontswap_store() to protect the access of the zswap_dstmem percpu variable.

Use get_locked_var() to protect the percpu zswap_dstmem variable, making the
code preemptive.

As get_cpu_ptr() also disables preemption, replace it by this_cpu_ptr() and
remove the counterpart put_cpu_ptr().

Steps to Reproduce:

    1. # grubby --args "zswap.enabled=1" --update-kernel DEFAULT
    2. # reboot
    3. Calculate the amount o memory to be used by the test:
       ---> grep MemAvailable /proc/meminfo
       ---> Add 25% ~ 50% to that value
    4. # stress --vm 1 --vm-bytes ${MemAvailable+25%} --timeout 240s

Usually, in less than 5 minutes the backtrace listed below appears, followed
by a kernel panic:
