[PATCH 0/3] ramzswap: Eliminate stale data from compressed memory (v2 resend)
Resending as Greg wanted. (tested on mainline but should apply to linux-next cleanly) * Changelog: v2 vs initial patches - directly add swap free callback to block_device_operations instead of using 'notifiers' for various swap events. ramzswap driver creates RAM based block devices which can be ... 17 May 2010 02:39

[PATCH 2/3] Add swap slot free callback to block_device_operations
This callback is required when RAM based devices are used as swap disks. One such device is ramzswap which is used as compressed in-memory swap disk. For such devices, we need a callback as soon as a swap slot is no longer used to allow freeing memory allocated for this slot. Without this callback, stale data can... 17 May 2010 02:39
