Where is another "competitive solution" in the kernel? And you are implying that as-is, zram isn't acceptable, right? If so, I should just delete it now as I was originally told otherwise, that's why I merged it :( > > So again, I'm going to have to say no to a new feature here, sorry. > > zcache, zram, and zsmalloc need to get cleaned up and merged out of > > staging before anything new can be added to them. > > > > Or, if no one is working on that, I guess I can just delete them, > > right?... > > > > Is there any official TODO list of cleaning up and merging out zram? As it came from the "zswap" code, there doesn't seem to be one :( The code is over 2 years old now, with no percieved movement out of staging. If it doesn't get fixed up in the next kernel version or so, I will have to remove it entirely. sorry, greg k-h _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
