[PATCH -next v2 0/3] Delay the initializaton of zswap

[Liu Shixin]

In the initialization of zswap, about 18MB memory will be allocated for       
zswap_pool. Since not all users use zswap, the memory may be wasted. Save  
the memory for these users by delaying the initialization of zswap to         
first enablement.

v1->v2: Change init_zswap to zswap_init suggested by Andrew.

Liu Shixin (3):
  mm/zswap: replace zswap_init_{started/failed} with zswap_init_state
  mm/zswap: delay the initializaton of zswap until the first enablement
  mm/zswap: skip confusing print info

[PATCH -next v2 1/3] mm/zswap: replace zswap_init_{started/failed} with zswap_init_state

[Liu Shixin]

zswap_init_started indicates that the initialization is started. And
zswap_init_failed indicates that the initialization is failed. As we will
support to init zswap after system startup, it's necessary to add a state
to indicate the initialization is complete and succeed to avoid
concurrency issues. Since we don't care about the difference between
init started with init completion. We only need three states:
uninitialized, initial failed, initial succeed.

[PATCH -next v2 2/3] mm/zswap: delay the initializaton of zswap until the first enablement

[Liu Shixin]

In the initialization of zswap, about 18MB memory will be allocated for
zswap_pool in my machine. Since not all users use zswap, the memory may be
wasted. Save the memory for these users by delaying the initialization of
zswap to first enablement.

[PATCH -next v2 3/3] mm/zswap: skip confusing print info

[Liu Shixin]

It's confusing when we disable zswap while zswap is init failed or has no
pool. If no change required, just return directly.
