The patch titled Subject: zswap: use charp for zswap param strings has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is zswap-use-charp-for-zswap-param-strings.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/zswap-use-charp-for-zswap-param-strings.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/zswap-use-charp-for-zswap-param-strings.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Dan Streetman <ddstreet@xxxxxxxx> Subject: zswap: use charp for zswap param strings Instead of using a fixed-length string for the zswap params, use charp. This simplifies the code and uses less memory, as most zswap param strings will be less than the current maximum length.
