The quilt patch titled
     Subject: zram: add max_pages param to recompression
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was

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

Subject: zram: add max_pages param to recompression
Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2024 18:39:41 +0900

Introduce "max_pages" param to recompress device attribute which sets an
upper limit on the number of entries (pages) zram attempts to recompress
(in this particular recompression call).  S/W recompression can be quite
expensive so limiting the number of pages recompress touches can be quite
helpful.
