zram declares this.

        #define ZRAM_LOGICAL_BLOCK_SIZE (1<<12)

	blk_queue_physical_block_size(zram->disk->queue, PAGE_SIZE);
	blk_queue_logical_block_size(zram->disk->queue,
					ZRAM_LOGICAL_BLOCK_SIZE);

So, I thought there is no such partial IO in 4096 page architecture.
Am I missing something? Could you tell the scenario if it happens?

Thanks!
