[Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This seems to be a duplicate of bug #1215513.  Could the people running
Raring try the test kernel here:

http://people.canonical.com/~henrix/lp1215513/

(there are 64bits and 32bits kernels)

The faulty commit has been reverted in all the kernels (including
Precise and Quantal).

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

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
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.
