a side note: I wasn't Cc'd in that patchset and found out it only when it's
been merged. I'm not sure I understand, why it has been renamed from specific
zram_X_show to X_show. what gives?


can't help, catches my eye every time, that rename has broken the original
formatting:

I don't have any objections. but do we really want to wrap atomic ops in
semaphore? it is really such serious race?
