Hi All, This is to announce compcache-0.5 release. New stuff in this release:
- New xvMalloc memory allocator: This replaces TLSF allocator used in 0.4 release. It removes artificial size limits on compcache (especially on 32-bit systems) . Wiki: http://code.google.com/p/compcache/wiki/xvMalloc has all the details. - Ability to discard memory associated with free swap blocks: In previous 0.4 release we had no way to determine if some swap slot have now become free and hence can release memory allocated for those pages. Now, 2.6.29-rc1 includes "swap discard" feature that gives us a callback to let us know of such free swap slots and we can easily free this memory. If compcache is used with kernels older than 2.6.29-rc1, this swap discard feature will be disabled. - Improved stats reporting: We now export more stats and also name them properly.
