Patch series "zsmalloc: remove bit_spin_lock", v2. zsmalloc uses bit_spin_lock to minimize space overhead since it's zpage granularity lock. However, it causes zsmalloc non-working under PREEMPT_RT as well as adding too much complication. This patchset tries to replace the bit_spin_lock with per-pool rwlock. It also removes unnecessary zspage isolation logic from class, which was the other part too much complication added into zsmalloc. Last patch changes the get_cpu_var to local_lock to make it work in PREEMPT_RT. This patch (of 9): get_zspage_mapping returns fullness as well as class_idx. However, the fullness is usually not used since it could be stale in some contexts. It causes misleading as well as unnecessary instructions so this patch introduces zspage_class. obj_to_location also produces page and index but we don't need always the index, either so this patch introduces obj_to_page.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
