Come on, we all know that is nonsense. Sure, the zswap and zbud code may not be in their final state yet, but they belong in the mm/ directory, together with the cleancache code and all the other related bits of code. Lets put them in their final destination, and hope the code attracts attention by as many MM developers as can spare the time to help improve it. -- All rights reversed -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
