The patch titled
Subject: zram: fix return value on writeback_store
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
zram-fix-return-value-on-writeback_store.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: zram: fix return value on writeback_store
writeback_store's return value is overwritten by submit_bio_wait's return
value. Thus, writeback_store will return zero since there was no IO
error. In the end, write syscall from userspace will see the zero as
return value, which could make the process stall to keep trying the write
until it will succeed.
