Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 7/8] mm/zswap: compressed ram direct integration
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 15:37:54 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108203755.1163107-8-gourry@gourry.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108203755.1163107-1-gourry@gourry.net>
If a private zswap-node is available, skip the entire software
compression process and memcpy directly to a compressed memory
folio, and store the newly allocated compressed memory page as
the zswap entry->handle.
On decompress we do the opposite: copy directly from the stored
page to the destination, and free the compressed memory page.
The driver callback is responsible for preventing run-away
compression ratio failures by checking that the allocated page is
safe to use (i.e. a compression ratio limit hasn't been crossed).
