From: Wanpeng Li Date: Tue, 2 Apr 2013 02:46:14 +0000 (+0800) Subject: staging: zcache: zero-filled pages awareness X-Git-Tag: firefly_0821_release~3680^2~674^2~353 X-Git-Url: http://plrg.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8762c7dde745f1de0488c6a3ed6894390303f76f;p=firefly-linux-kernel-4.4.55.git staging: zcache: zero-filled pages awareness Compression of zero-filled pages can unneccessarily cause internal fragmentation, and thus waste memory. This special case can be optimized. This patch captures zero-filled pages, and marks their corresponding zcache backing page entry as zero-filled. Whenever such zero-filled page is retrieved, we fill the page frame with zero.
