Hi,

Thank you for the patch. I can confirm that it resolves the issue. After 
applying it, the kernel panic no longer occurs during memory reclaim 
with in my KVM guest testing environment. The Avocado-VT functional 
tests now complete successfully.

Patch:

     zsmalloc: don't underflow size calculation in zs_obj_write()

Thank You,
Misbah Anjum N
