Hi, This new (pre)release finally has ability to discard memory associated with freed swap slots. This is similar to what compcache patch (patch_compcache_with_notify_support_2.6.26.diff) does but its less aggressive.
* Changelog for 0.5pre3 vs 0.5pre4: - Support discarding pages for freed swap blocks (requires 2.6.28-git14). This feature will be disabled if compiled for older kernel. - Mark ramzswap as "solid-state" block device (requires 2.6.26-git14). - Fixed incorrect stats reporting in /proc/compcache (some new stats added too). This will hopefully be last pre-0.5 release. compcache-0.5 release will finally complete transition to new xvMalloc memory allocator (from TLSF allocator).
