Like Hans, I'm seeing this on 12.04 LTS. linux-image-3.2.0-53-generic-
pae seems to enable zram by default, which results in lots of
"scheduling while atomic" errors in syslog and occasional lockups
(machine still responds to ping, but not ssh, desktop frozen.)

This seems like a pretty critical problem now that it's affecting
current LTS..

Title:
  Buffer I/O error on device zram0 (possibly causing complete machine
  lockup)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “linux-lts-raring” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is on linux-image-generic-lts-raring (which I recently upgraded
  to 3.8.0-29; the problem didn't occur before upgrading AFAIR)

  I see this junk in my dmesg when creating / formatting a zram swap,
  and then periodically. Then at some point after heavy swapping
  incidents, the machine locks up. "Correlation does not imply
  causation, but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively" and all that.
