zram: keep the exact overcommited value in mem_used_max
`mem_used_max' is designed to store the max amount of memory zram consumed to store the data. However, it does not represent the actual 'overcommited' (max) value. The existing code goes to -ENOMEM overcommited case before it updates `->stats.max_used_pages', which hides the reason we went to -ENOMEM in the first place -- we actually used more memory than `->limit_pages': alloced_pages = zs_get_total_pages(meta->mem_pool); if (zram->limit_pages && alloced_pages > zram->limit_pages) { zs_free(meta->mem_pool, handle); ret = -ENOMEM; goto out; } update_used_max(zram, alloced_pages); Which is misleading. User will see -ENOMEM, check `->limit_pages', check `->stats.max_used_pages', which will keep the value BEFORE zram passed `->limit_pages', and see: `->stats.max_used_pages' < `->limit_pages' Move update_used_max() before we do `->limit_pages' check, so that user will see: `->stats.max_used_pages' > `->limit_pages' should the overcommit and -ENOMEM happen.
