Hi Andrew,

As clarified in another email [1], kindly include the crypto modification below
into the mm-tree prior to merging the problematic zswap change to address the
build issue - specifically, the absence of acomp_is_async().

[PATCH v6 1/2] crypto: introduce: acomp_is_async to expose if comp drivers might sleep

Herbert Acked it instead of merging it into crypto. Therefore, it is supposed to
be in mm-tree to prepare for the zswap change.
