Changelog v2 vs v1:
- Changelog message now correctly explains the problem

Fixes a bug introduced by commit c8f2f0db1 ("zram: Fix handling
of incompressible pages") which caused a freed buffer to be used
in case a partial write (non PAGE_SIZED) request is received and
the data is found to be incompressible.

Fixes bug 50081:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50081

When I saw https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=85571, it was
swap write usecase so parital write can not happen.
So this bug isn't related to freed buffer caused by partial write.

This bug is related to unmapped buffer access.

1) user_mem = kmap_atomic
2) uncmem = usermem
3) compress
4) kunmap_atomic(usermem) <-- So, uncmem is dangling.
5) src = uncmem; <-- So, src is dangling.
6) memcpy(cmem, src, clen) <-- HIT


This is what I had in mind, still missed it in description. Will repost with updated description as below:

zram: fix invalid memory references during disk write

Fixes a bug introduced by commit c8f2f0db1 ("zram: Fix handling
of incompressible pages") which caused invalid memory references
during disk write. Invalid references could occur in two cases:
- Incoming data expands on compression: In this case, reference was made to kunmap()'ed bio page.
- Partial (non PAGE_SIZE) write with incompressible data: In this case, reference was made to a kfree()'ed buffer.


Please let me know if the description looks okay.

Thanks,
Nitin
