The quilt patch titled Subject: zram: clear IDLE flag in mark_idle() has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was zram-clear-idle-flag-in-mark_idle.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-stable branch of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
I think this also needs to be Cc'd to stable.

If entry does not fulfill current mark_idle() parameters, e.g. cutoff time, then we should clear its ZRAM_IDLE from previous mark_idle() invocations.
Consider the following case:
- mark_idle() cutoff time 8h
- mark_idle() cutoff time 4h
- writeback() idle - will writeback entries with cutoff time 8h, while it should only pick entries with cutoff time 4h
The bug was reported by Shin Kawamura.
