Subject: zram: fix out-of-bounds access in read_block_state()
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 14:59:19 +0800

read_block_state() calculates nr_pages before taking dev_lock.  If the
device is reset and reinitialized with a smaller disksize before lock
acquisition, nr_pages still describes the old table.  The subsequent loop
can then call slot_lock() past the end of the newly allocated table.

Read disksize after acquiring dev_lock and checking that the device is
initialized.  The read lock then keeps the table and its bound stable for
the duration of the scan.
