After upgrading to kernel 3.6 I get a lot of the following errors in kernel.log:
-----
kernel: zram: Error allocating memory for compressed page: 320529, size=4126
kernel: Write-error on swap-device (254:1:2564232)
kernel: zram: Error allocating memory for compressed page: 191817, size=4131

No such errors using kernel 3.5!
