Thanks all,

At last, everybody who contributes to zsmalloc want to put it under /lib.

Greg,
What should I do for promoting this dragging patchset?

You need to get the -mm developers to agree that this is something that
is worth accepting.  I have yet to see any compeling argument why this

I'm one of mm developers. :)
Yes. I hope Andrew have a time to take a look.

even needs to be in the kernel in the first place.

Confused. what do you mean "this"? "zsmalloc" or "zram" or "both"?
If you mean "zsmalloc", I guess there were some lengthy thread about
"why we need a new another allocator". Unfortunately, I didn't follow it
at that time. Nitin, Pekka, Could you point out that thread? or summarize
the result.

I'm not moving this anywhere until you get their acceptance.

I understand you.

It's one of problem in current mm mailing list.
As you know, many mm guys works for server, not embedded so they don't have
big interest about embedded feature so prioirty of the feature was always
low. CMA proved it and next turn is zram. Even new-comer in mm is few so
review bandwidth is always low, too. :(

How can I poke them?

You just did.  If they ignore this, wait a week, and resend.
Persistance is key.

good luck,

greg k-h
