[linux-mm-cc] compcache-0.6 is released

[Nitin Gupta]

Hi All,

compcache-0.6 is released! It brings some new features and incorporates
major code re-organization. Thanks to all who reported bugs on pre-release
versions.

New features:
  - Support for file as backing swap. Earlier versions (0.5.x) only 
allow using a
    block device as backing swap.
  - Support for ARM (0.5.x crashes on ARM).
  - Support for multiple /dev/ramzswapX devices.
  - New rzscontrol utility to manage various ramzswap devices: setting 
parameters,
    initializing, resetting, stats collection.
  - Support for swap free notify callback. This will give ramzswap a 
callback as
    soon as a swap page becomes free -- stale data, no more!
    - A separate patch is included in compcache/patches/ directory that 
adds hooks
      in kernel swap path to enable this feature.
    - Rest of ramzswap remains as separate modules. It is usable on 
kernels with
      or without this patch. Of course, without patch, ramzswap will 
have this
      feature disabled.
