[merged mm-stable] zram-fix-short-reads-from-block_state.patch removed from -mm tree

[Andrew Morton]

The quilt patch titled
     Subject: zram: fix short reads from block_state
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     zram-fix-short-reads-from-block_state.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: fix short reads from block_state
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2026 09:18:46 +0200

read_block_state() formats each entry directly into the buffer supplied by
read().  If the remaining buffer is too small for one complete record,
snprintf() returns the full record length and the function stops without
copying data or advancing the file position.  A read from this debugfs
file which is smaller than a record therefore returns zero at a non-EOF
position and cannot make progress.

Convert block_state to seq_file so formatted records are buffered
independently of the userspace read size.  Keep dev_lock held across each
seq_file iteration and continue to protect individual entries with their
slot locks.
