[PATCH v2] zram: Fix the issue that the write - back limits might overflow

From: Yuwen Chen

Date: Tue Nov 18 2025 - 03:16:51 EST


Since the value of bd_wb_limit is an unsigned number, when the
page size is larger than 4 KB, it may cause an out-of-bounds situation.

This patch fixes the issue by limiting bd_wb_limit to be an
integer multiple of PAGE_SIZE / 4096.

Fixes: 1d69a3f8ae77e ("zram: idle writeback fixes and cleanup")
