[PATCH 3.13.y-ckt 084/121] zram: avoid kunmap_atomic() of a NULL pointer

From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Tue Dec 02 2014 - 14:47:33 EST


3.13.11-ckt12 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Weijie Yang <weijie.yang@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit c406515239376fc93a30d5d03192182160cbd3fb upstream.

zram could kunmap_atomic() a NULL pointer in a rare situation: a zram
page becomes a full-zeroed page after a partial write io. The current
code doesn't handle this case and performs kunmap_atomic() on a NULL
pointer, which panics the kernel.

This patch fixes this issue.
