I'm one of mm developers. :) Yes. I hope Andrew have a time to take a look. > even needs to be in the kernel in the first place. Confused. what do you mean "this"? "zsmalloc" or "zram" or "both"? If you mean "zsmalloc", I guess there were some lengthy thread about "why we need a new another allocator". Unfortunately, I didn't follow it at that time. Nitin, Pekka, Could you point out that thread? or summarize the result. > > I'm not moving this anywhere until you get their acceptance. I understand you. It's one of problem in current mm mailing list. As you know, many mm guys works for server, not embedded so they don't have big interest about embedded feature so prioirty of the feature was always low. CMA proved it and next turn is zram. Even new-comer in mm is few so review bandwidth is always low, too. :( How can I poke them? The only thing I can do is just (wait, repost) * 5?
