The patch titled Subject: zram: pass gfp from zcomp frontend to backend has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was zram-pass-gfp-from-zcomp-frontend-to-backend.patch This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged ------------------------------------------------------ From: Minchan Kim <minchan@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: zram: pass gfp from zcomp frontend to backend Each zcomp backend uses own gfp flag but it's pointless because the context they could be called is driven by upper layer(ie, zcomp frontend). As well, zcomp frondend could call them in different context. One context(ie, zram init part) is it should be better to make sure successful allocation other context(ie, further stream allocation part for accelarating I/O speed) is just optional so let's pass gfp down from driver (ie, zcomp frontend) like normal MM convention.
