Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org List-ID: To: Seth Jennings , Konrad Wilk , Minchan Kim , Bob Liu , Robert Jennings , Nitin Gupta , Wanpeng Li Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Seth and all zproject folks -- I've been giving some deep thought as to how a zpage allocator might be designed that would incorporate the best of both zsmalloc and zbud. Rather than dive into coding, it occurs to me that the best chance of success would be if all interested parties could first discuss (on-list) and converge on a design that we can all agree on. If we achieve that, I don't care who writes the code and/or gets the credit or chooses the name. If we can't achieve consensus, at least it will be much clearer where our differences lie. Any thoughts? Thanks, Dan -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org. For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
