Please add/include the patches for PowerPC NX coprocessor 842 memory compression. They're currently in Herbert Xu's upstream tree, and presumably he will send them up to Linus at the 4.2 merge window.
You can find the commits at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/herbert/cryptodev-2.6.git
ed70b47 crypto: nx - add hardware 842 crypto comp alg
b8e04187 crypto: nx - simplify pSeries nx842 driver
99182a42 crypto: nx - add PowerNV platform NX-842 driver
959e665 crypto: nx - add nx842 constraints
7011a12 crypto: nx - add NX-842 platform frontend driver
fdd05e4 crypto: nx - rename nx-842.c to nx-842-pseries.c
2062c5b crypto: 842 - change 842 alg to use software
2da572c lib: add software 842 compression/decompression
edc424f powerpc: Add ICSWX instruction
b130e7c powerpc: export of_get_ibm_chip_id function
I'll update this when they are added to Linus' tree. |
[Impact]
Users of PowerPC processors with an NX coprocessor will not be able to use features like memory compression without this set of patches.
[Test Case]
Run kernel on a PowerPC processor with an NX coprocessor implementing 842 memory compression.
[Fix]
