Why I put zsmalloc into under mm firstly is that Andrew had a concern about using strut page's some fields freely in zsmalloc so he wanted to maintain it in mm/ if I remember correctly. So I and Nitin tried to ask the opinion to akpm several times (at least 5 and even I sent such patch a few month ago) but didn't get any reply from him so I guess he doesn't have any concern about that any more. In point of view that it's an another slab-like allocator, it might be proper under mm but it's not popular as current mm's allocators(/SLUB/SLOB and page allocator). Frankly speaking, I'm okay whether we put it to mm/ or lib/. But it seems Nitin and Konrad like lib/ and Andrew is silent. That's why I am biased into lib/ now. If someone yell we should keep it to mm/ by logical claim, I can change my mind easily. But I've never heard abut that until now. > > -- > To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in > the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxx.
