Subject: [PATCH] pstore: Refactor compression initialization
Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2018 14:41:24 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181017214124.GA8239@beast> (raw)

With compression initialization now separated from pstore_register(),
there is no longer a good reason to do compression method selection
during fs init. Instead, merge everything together into the late init.
Additionally cleans up the reporting to be more clear.

This patch goes on top of Joel's. I'll have both in linux-next shortly...
