Subject: [PATCH] zram: compression algorithms name use static fields
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 07:50:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <32d733a0719c479f85d06f6fec3cc533@honor.com> (raw)
Currently, zram dynamically allocates memory for compressor algorithm names
when they are set by the user. This requires careful memory management,
including explicit `kfree` calls and special handling to avoid freeing
statically defined default compressor names.
This patch refactors the way zram handles compression algorithm names.
Instead of storing dynamically allocated copies, `zram->comp_algs` will now
store pointers directly to the static name strings defined within the
`zcomp_ops` backend structures, thereby removing the need for conditional
`kfree` calls.
