Most compressors are actually CPU-based and won't sleep during
compression and decompression. We should remove the redundant
memcpy for them.

I think the answer is yes though async and sleepable are slightly
different semantically
generally speaking. but for comp cases, they are equal.
We have two backends for compression/ decompression - scomp and acomp. if comp
is using scomp backend, we can safely think they are not sleepable at
least from the
below three facts.
1. in zRAM, we are using scomp APIs only - crypto_comp_decompress()/
crypto_comp_compress(), which are definitely scomp, we have never considered
sleeping problem in zram drivers:
static int zram_read_from_zspool(struct zram *zram, struct page *page,
u32 index)
{
struct zcomp_strm *zstrm;
unsigned long handle;
unsigned int size;
void *src, *dst;
u32 prio;
int ret;
handle = zram_get_handle(zram, index);
...
src = zs_map_object(zram->mem_pool, handle, ZS_MM_RO);
if (size == PAGE_SIZE) {
dst = kmap_local_page(page);
memcpy(dst, src, PAGE_SIZE);
kunmap_local(dst);
ret = 0;
} else {
dst = kmap_local_page(page);
ret = zcomp_decompress(zstrm, src, size, dst);
kunmap_local(dst);
zcomp_stream_put(zram->comps[prio]);
}
zs_unmap_object(zram->mem_pool, handle);
return ret;
}
2. zswap used to only support scomp before we moved to use
crypto_acomp_compress()
and crypto_acomp_decompress() APIs whose backends can be either scomp
or acomp, thus new hardware-based compression drivers can be used in zswap.
But before we moved to these new APIs in commit 1ec3b5fe6eec782 ("mm/zswap:
move to use crypto_acomp API for hardware acceleration") , zswap had
never considered
sleeping problems just like zRAM.
3. There is no sleeping in drivers using scomp backend.
$ git grep crypto_register_scomp
crypto/842.c: ret = crypto_register_scomp(&scomp);
crypto/deflate.c: ret = crypto_register_scomp(&scomp);
crypto/lz4.c: ret = crypto_register_scomp(&scomp);
crypto/lz4hc.c: ret = crypto_register_scomp(&scomp);
crypto/lzo-rle.c: ret = crypto_register_scomp(&scomp);
crypto/lzo.c: ret = crypto_register_scomp(&scomp);
crypto/zstd.c: ret = crypto_register_scomp(&scomp);
drivers/crypto/cavium/zip/zip_main.c: ret =
crypto_register_scomp(&zip_scomp_deflate);
drivers/crypto/cavium/zip/zip_main.c: ret =
crypto_register_scomp(&zip_scomp_lzs);
which are the most common cases.

yes. i have enabled CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=y.
