Subject: [PATCH 4/4] zcache: promote to drivers/mm/
Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2012 13:18:37 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1343413117-1989-5-git-send-email-sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1343413117-1989-1-git-send-email-sjenning@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
This patchset promtes the zcache driver from staging to drivers/mm/.
zcache captures swap pages via frontswap and pages that fall
out of the page cache via cleancache and compress them in RAM,
providing a compressed RAM swap and a compressed second-chance
page cache.
