The quilt patch titled
     Subject: zram: reject unrecognized type= values in recompress_store()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     zram-reject-unrecognized-type=-values-in-recompress_store.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

Subject: zram: reject unrecognized type= values in recompress_store()
Date: Tue, 7 Apr 2026 11:30:27 -0400

recompress_store() parses the type= parameter with three if statements
checking for "idle", "huge", and "huge_idle".  An unrecognized value
silently falls through with mode left at 0, causing the recompression pass
to run with no slot filter — processing all slots instead of the
intended subset.

Add a !mode check after the type parsing block to return -EINVAL for
unrecognized values, consistent with the function's other parameter
validation.
