Your patch [1,2/2] are totally same patch I made for using in-house only. Why I made it for in-house only is that Greg doesn't want to merge any new features before zram promotion is done. I understand him totally because I will do same thing as if I were maintainer. I tried zram promotion several long time ago but unfortunately, failed. Sine then, I have been busy by other stuffs. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.mm/90264 The reason to prevent zram promotion is only zsmalloc while Jens already acked zram part because zsmalloc was used for zcache, zram and zswap at that time and they have different requirements for zsmalloc. But recently, zsmalloc is used for only zram so I guess we could put zsmalloc with zram in driver/block. Of course, we should discuss it with akpm. Okay. I think it's good time to promote zram again and I will retry soon.
