[patch 035/176] staging: zram: fix data corruption issue

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Feb 15 2011 - 20:19:39 EST


2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 5414e557fca545614ceedc3d3496f747457e2e3b upstream.

In zram_read() and zram_write() we were not incrementing the
index number and thus were reading/writing values from/to
incorrect sectors on zram disk, resulting in data corruption.
