[ 007/117] zram: fix invalid memory access

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Sep 24 2013 - 20:52:03 EST


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

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

From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2b86ab9cc29fcd435cde9378c3b9ffe8b5c76128 upstream.

[1] tried to fix invalid memory access on zram->disk but it didn't
fix properly because get_disk failed during module exit path.

Actually, we don't need to reset zram->disk's capacity to zero
in module exit path so that this patch introduces new argument
"reset_capacity" on zram_reset_divice and it only reset it when
reset_store is called.

[1] 6030ea9b, zram: avoid invalid memory access in zram_exit()
