  • 137f8cff5   mm/zpool: use prefixed module loading ... Browse Code »

    To avoid potential format string expansion via module parameters, do not
    use the zpool type directly in request_module() without a format string.
    Additionally, to avoid arbitrary modules being loaded via zpool API
    (e.g. via the zswap_zpool_type module parameter) add a "zpool-" prefix
    to the requested module, as well as module aliases for the existing
    zpool types (zbud and zsmalloc).

  • af8d417a0   mm/zpool: implement common zpool api to zbud/zsmalloc ... Browse Code »

    Add zpool api.

    zpool provides an interface for memory storage, typically of compressed
    memory. Users can select what backend to use; currently the only
    implementations are zbud, a low density implementation with up to two
    compressed pages per storage page, and zsmalloc, a higher density
    implementation with multiple compressed pages per storage page.
