[PATCH] zpool: add zpool_has_pool()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add zpool_has_pool() function, indicating if the specified type of zpool
is available (i.e. zsmalloc or zbud).  This allows checking if a pool is
available, without actually trying to allocate it, similar to
crypto_has_alg().
