Both zram and zcache use xvmalloc allocator. If xvmalloc is compiled separately for both of them, we will get linker error if they are both selected as "built-in". We can also get linker error regarding missing xvmalloc symbols if zram is not built. So, we now compile xvmalloc separately and export its symbols which are then used by both of zram and zcache. Signed-off-by: Nitin Gupta<redacted>Acked-by: Randy Dunlap<redacted> but what does this patch apply to? It does not apply cleanly to linux-next of 20110210.This applies to staging-2.6. I thought linux-next won't be that different so as to produce conflicts. Can you please send reject files, or let me fetch linux-next tree and will soon post patch against the same.
I'll let you fetch linux-next. I merged it by hand and test-built it successfully. -- ~Randy *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code ***
