Subject: [PATCH v6 15/22] zswap: do not start zswap shrinker if there is no physical swap slots
Date: Tue, 5 May 2026 08:38:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260505153854.1612033-16-nphamcs@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260505153854.1612033-1-nphamcs@gmail.com>
When swap is virtualized, we no longer pre-allocate a slot on swapfile
for each zswap entry. Do not start the zswap shrinker if there is no
physical swap slots available.
