Zhongkun He reports data corruption when combining zswap with zram. The issue is the exclusive loads we're doing in zswap. They assume that all reads are going into the swapcache, which can assume authoritative ownership of the data and so the zswap copy can go. However, zram files are marked SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO, and faults will try to bypass the swapcache. This results in an optimistic read of the swap data into a page that will be dismissed if the fault fails due to races. In this case, zswap mustn't drop its authoritative copy.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
