Subject: Frontswap [PATCH 1/4] (was Transcendent Memory): swap data structure changes
Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2010 06:43:09 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100422134309.GA2994@ca-server1.us.oracle.com> (raw)
Frontswap [PATCH 1/4] (was Transcendent Memory): swap data structure changes
Core swap data structures are needed by frontswap.c but we don't
need to expose them to the dozens of files that include swap.h
so create a new swapfile.h just to extern-ify these.
Add frontswap-related elements to swap_info_struct. Don't tie
these to CONFIG_FRONTSWAP to avoid unnecessary clutter around
various frontswap hooks.
