Thanks Valdis.  A fix for this has already been posted by
Nitin Gupta and Randy Dunlap here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/10/383 

Another patch for a zcache memory leak has been posted here:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/10/306 

I'm sorry that multiple people have run into this in
multiple trees.
I have to admit I am a bit baffled as to what the proper
tree flow is for bug fixes like this, but would be happy
to "follow the process" if I am told what it is or if
someone can point me to a document describing it.

(Clearly making sure there are no bugs at all in a
submission is the best way to go, but I'm afraid
I can't claim to be perfect :-)

Thanks,
Dan

P.S. I suppose there isn't really a good reason for
CONFIG_ZCACHE to be tri-state as it really makes
no sense as a module because, if CONFIG_CLEANCACHE
is enabled, it will always get loaded.
