I just remembered that Bob had done a repost of the 5 and 6 patches, outside the zswap thread, with a small change to avoid a checkpatch warning. I didn't pull that change into my version, but I should have. It doesn't make a functional difference, so this patch can still go forward and the checkpatch warning can be cleaned up in a subsequent patch. If another revision of the patchset is needed for other reasons, I'll pull this change into the next version. I think Dan and Bob would be ok with their tags being applied to 5 and 6: Acked-by: Bob Liu <bob.liu@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Dan Magenheimer <dan.magenheimer@xxxxxxxxxx> That ok?
