The patch titled Subject: zram: allow backing device to be assigned after init has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was zram-allow-backing-device-to-be-assigned-after-init.patch This patch was dropped because it was withdrawn ------------------------------------------------------ From: Brian Geffon <bgeffon@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: zram: allow backing device to be assigned after init There does not appear to be a technical reason to not allow the zram backing device to be assigned after the zram device is initialized. This change will allow for the backing device to be assigned as long as no backing device is already assigned. In that event backing_dev would return -EEXIST.
