[PATCH v2 2/2] zram/zcomp: do not zero out zcomp private pages

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Tue Dec 01 2015 - 07:40:33 EST


Do not __GFP_ZERO allocated zcomp ->private pages. We keep allocated
streams around and use them for read/write requests, so we supply a zeroed
out ->private to compression algorithm as a scratch buffer only once --
the first time we use that stream. For the rest of IO requests served by
this stream ->private usually contains some temporarily data from the
previous requests.
