For V5, it also +directly incorporates the soon-to-be-removed drivers/staging/zram/xvmalloc.[ch] +as all testing has been done with xvmalloc rather than the new zsmalloc. +Before RAMster can be promoted from staging, the zcache and RAMster drivers +should be either merged or reorganized to separate out common code. + +Until V4, RAMster duplicated code from fs/ocfs2/cluster, but this made +RAMster incompatible with ocfs2 running in the same kernel and included +lots of code that could be removed. As of V5, the ocfs2 code has been +mined and made RAMster-specific, made to communicate with a userland +ramster-tools package rather than ocfs2-tools, and can co-exist with ocfs2 +both in the same kernel and in userland on the same machine. |
