This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled
staging: zram: fix data corruption issue
to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging-2.6.git
in the staging-linus branch.
The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)
The patch will hopefully also will be merged in Linus's tree for the
next -rc kernel release.
If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: staging: zram: fix data corruption issue
In zram_read() and zram_write() we were not incrementing the
index number and thus were reading/writing values from/to
incorrect sectors on zram disk, resulting in data corruption.
