I thought zram is related to memory management a little bit.

What's the criteria?

Yes, and this is something which bothers me a bit about the -staging
process.  Code gets in there largely under the radar of the people who
work in that area.  It gets "matured" for a while and the developer
thinks it's all ready to go into "mainline" and .... then what? Someone needs to yank the code out of -staging and tell the interested
parties "hey, look at this".  And at this stage, they might say "hell
no", or request large changes and the developer who thought everything
was all ready to go would be justifiably upset.

Yeah, that's what I assumed would happen here. When the code in -staging is "good enough", Nitin would submit squashed patches for inclusion review and when everyone is happy, we'd merge the code including full history from -staging.

Btw, ramzswap and zram have been discussed openly on LKML. I guess Nitin should have CC'd linux-mm as well for you to see it Andrew?
