This is what I had in mind, still missed it in description. Will repost 
with updated description as below:

zram: fix invalid memory references during disk write

Fixes a bug introduced by commit c8f2f0db1 ("zram: Fix handling
of incompressible pages") which caused invalid memory references
during disk write. Invalid references could occur in two cases:
  - Incoming data expands on compression: In this case, reference was 
made to kunmap()'ed bio page.
  - Partial (non PAGE_SIZE) write with incompressible data: In this 
case, reference was made to a kfree()'ed buffer.


Please let me know if the description looks okay.

Thanks,
Nitin
