a side note, do we need zram_bio_discard() function? I mean, can we handle
discard request in zram_bvec_rw(), where we already know index, etc. (passed
from __zram_make_request())?

for example:

ret = zram_bvec_write(zram, bvec, index, offset);

+ if (unlikely(bio->bi_rw & REQ_DISCARD)) {
+ write_lock(&zram->meta->tb_lock);
+ zram_free_page(zram, index);
+ write_unlock(&zram->meta->tb_lock);
+ }
return ret;
}
