[PATCH v6 0/2] zswap: remove the memcpy if acomp is not sleepable

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@xxxxxxxx>

In zswap, if we use zsmalloc, we cannot sleep while we map the
compressed memory, so we copy it to a temporary buffer. By
knowing the alg won't sleep can help zswap to avoid the
memcpy.
Thus we introduce an API in crypto to expose if acomp is async,
and zswap can use it to decide if it can remove copying to the
tmp buffer.

-v6:
 * add acked-by of Herbert, Thanks!
 * remove patch 3/3 from the series, as that one will go
   through crypto

    sleep
