The patch titled
     Subject: zram: fix slot lock bit position on big-endian 64-bit
has been added to the -mm mm-new branch.  Its filename is
     zram-fix-slot-lock-bit-position-on-big-endian-64-bit.patch

This patch will shortly appear at
     https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/25-new.git/tree/patches/zram-fix-slot-lock-bit-position-on-big-endian-64-bit.patch

This patch will later appear in the mm-new branch at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Note, mm-new is a provisional staging ground for work-in-progress
patches, and acceptance into mm-new is a notification for others take
notice and to finish up reviews.  Please do not hesitate to respond to
review feedback and post updated versions to replace or incrementally
fixup patches in mm-new.

The mm-new branch of mm.git is not included in linux-next

If a few days of testing in mm-new is successful, the patch will me moved
into mm.git's mm-unstable branch, which is included in linux-next

Before you just go and hit "reply", please:
   a) Consider who else should be cc'ed
   b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well
   c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a
      reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's

*** Remember to use Documentation/process/submit-checklist.rst when testing your code ***

The -mm tree is included into linux-next via various
branches at git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm
and is updated there most days

Subject: zram: fix slot lock bit position on big-endian 64-bit
Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 21:22:37 +0100

The slot lock is a bit operation on the whole __lock word, which flags and
ac_time alias as two u32s.  On little-endian the lock bit lands in the
position ZRAM_ENTRY_LOCK reserves in flags, so the aliasing works out.  On
64-bit big-endian it lands in ac_time instead: with
ZRAM_TRACK_ENTRY_ACTIME enabled, storing the access time from
mark_slot_accessed() or slot_free() wipes out the held lock bit, letting
another CPU take the same slot lock; an access time value with that bit
set makes the slot look locked forever.

Shift the lock bit into the flags half of the word on big-endian 64-bit.
