Looks like the provided buffer is invalid:

#ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_SG
BUG_ON(!virt_addr_valid(buf));
#endif

which is "src" from:

sg_init_one(&input, src, entry->length);

Looking at the surrounding code and recent history, there's this
commit that stands out:

mm/zswap: remove the memcpy if acomp is not sleepable
(sha: 270700dd06ca41a4779c19eb46608f076bb7d40e)

which has the effect of, IIUC, using the zpool mapped memory directly
as src, instead of acomp_ctx->buffer (which was previously the case,
as zsmalloc was not sleepable).

This might not necessarily be a bug with that commit itself, but might
have revealed another bug elsewhere.

Anyway, cc-ing the author, Barry Song, to fact check me :) Will take a
closer look later.
