The patch titled Subject: zram: don't return errors from read_from_bdev_async has been added to the -mm mm-unstable branch. Its filename is zram-dont-return-errors-from-read_from_bdev_async.patch This patch will shortly appear at https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/zram-dont-return-errors-from-read_from_bdev_async.patch This patch will later appear in the mm-unstable branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next via the mm-everything branch at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm and is updated there every 2-3 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Subject: zram: don't return errors from read_from_bdev_async Date: Thu, 6 Apr 2023 16:41:00 +0200 bio_alloc will never return a NULL bio when it is allowed to sleep, and adding a single page to bio with a single vector also can't fail, so switch to the asserting __bio_add_page variant and drop the error returns.
