Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] mm/zswap & crypto/compress: remove a couple of memcpy

From: Barry Song <v-songbaohua@...o.com>

The patchset removes a couple of memcpy in zswap and crypto
to improve zswap's performance.

Thanks for Chengming Zhou's test and perf data.
Quote from Chengming,
 I just tested these three patches on my server, found improvement in the
 kernel build testcase on a tmpfs with zswap (lz4 + zsmalloc) enabled.

Hi Andrew, Herbert,

As zswap is the direct use of this patchset and zswap benefits from
this series, It is probably better for this patchset to go through
Andrew's mm tree than Herbert's crypto tree if there is no objection
from Herbert.

Barry Song (3):
  crypto: introduce acomp_is_sleepable to expose if comp drivers might
    sleep
  mm/zswap: remove the memcpy if acomp is not sleepable
  crypto: scompress: remove memcpy if sg_nents is 1
