Subject: [PATCH 3/4] drivers: add memory management driver class
Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2012 13:18:36 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1343413117-1989-4-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 creates a new driver class under drivers/ for
memory management related drivers, like zcache.
This driver class would be for drivers that don't actually enabled
a hardware device, but rather augment the memory manager in some
way.
In-tree candidates for this driver class are zcache, zram, and
lowmemorykiller, both in staging.
