It would be great if it makes the mess simple. Let me have a question

With this patch, how deal with the race?

CPU 1                                     CPU 2

hot_remove_store
  zram_remove
    zram_busy
      return -EBUSY
                                         open /dev/zram0
    del_gendisk
    zram_reset and destroy
