Dysfunctional zcache in 3.0.0 (Re: zcache: rename zcache.c to avoid build problem)

 Hello,

 in linux-3.0, zcache doesn't build correctly -- due to error in
Makefile, zcache.o is omitted from linking. This results in kernel
containing tmem.o but not zcache.o linked, and thus no zcache functionality.

 This issue (and also a patch) was previously mentioned at
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/903912/ , however no action was taken
yet. Above-mentioned patch makes zcache work properly.

 This is also reported as a bug at
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39242 , but since its filing
there was no activity.

 Best regards,
   Milan Plzik
