[PATCH V1 3/3] drivers/staging: kztmem: misc build/config

Makefiles and Kconfigs to build kztmem in drivers/staging

There is a dependency on xvmalloc.* which in 2.6.37 resides
in drivers/staging/zram.  Should this move or disappear,
some Makefile/Kconfig changes will be required.

There is some other kind of dependancy as well, because I get the
following errors when building:

If you require a kbuild dependancy, then put it in your Kconfig file
please, don't break the build.

I'll not apply these patches for now until that's fixed up.

thanks,

Oops, sorry, missed that line in my Kconfig.  Will re-post.

Thanks,

Hi Greg --

Just wanted to confirm that this is now fixed and hope that you
can now apply BUT note that per agreement with Nitin Gupta [1]
the patchset has been modified to be named zcache and the
renamed patchset (with the proper kbuild dependency) has been
posted at [2].

ALSO, could you please confirm the path by which this patchset
will find its way upstream?  I see from your blog [3] that after
you apply it, I should be able to see it in sfr's linux-next
tree [4] which IIUC sfr pulls regularly from your staging-next
tree [5].  And I think at the next merge window, YOU will
provide the pull request to Linus included with any other
staging drivers?  Is this all correct?

Sorry for the driver-staging-newbie question but your blog
entry is 2 years old and I'd like to (1) ensure that I don't
drop some important task *I* still need to do and (2) be able
to track the progress of zcache through the various trees as
a self-educational exercise.

Thanks,
Dan
