Compressed caching is a new level in the virtual memory hierarchy, where pages are stored in some compressed format, decreasing the number of page faults that are serviced by slow hard disks. We aim to implement this idea in the Linux Kernel.

Changelog: ccache for 2.6.18 vs 2.6.21 - Some changes due to new RCU locking used for page/swap cache. - Bug fix: Bug caused NULL pointer errors in some conditions. - Bug fix: Bug caused /proc/ccache_stats to report incorrect figures. - Minor cleanups.
Hi All! I now got a job and moving to a new city :) So will not be able to get on with ccache for next 2 weeks - other things are bound to take much of my time! -- Nitin
ccache-alpha-007 ---------------- * Changes since ccahe-alpha-006 -- Major locking changes in lookup functions. -- Fixed chunk_head usage count which could lead to 'double free' -- Removed abt. 500 LOC.
Changes since ccache-alpha-005: o Major cleanups done and >1KLOC removed! o Bug fixes as usual (major fix: page-cache compression stopped once max_fs_backed_cc_size limit was reached for first time).
