------------------------------------------------------ From: Jérôme Glisse jglisse@redhat.com Subject: zram: pass down the bvec we need to read into in the work struct
When scheduling work item to read page we need to pass down the proper bvec struct which points to the page to read into. Before this patch it uses a randomly initialized bvec (only if PAGE_SIZE != 4096) which is wrong.
Note that without this patch on arch/kernel where PAGE_SIZE != 4096 userspace could read random memory through a zram block device (thought userspace probably would have no control on the address being read).
