[PATCH 0/3] zram: generic RAM based compressed R/W block devices
Creates RAM based block devices: /dev/zramX (X = 0, 1, ...). Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored in memory itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides good amounts of memory savings. This is enhancement over existing ramzswap driver which creates virtual block devices (/de... 24 May 2010 11:13
