Re: [PATCH 2/8] zram: use idr instead of `zram_devices' array

[Minchan Kim]

Hello Sergey,

Sorry for the late review.
I don't grab a time to review in detail still but I saw Andrew merged it
to mmotm today so at least I should ask somethings now and hope review
in detail soon.

So are you claiming using of idr is smaller memory footprint than zram included
list_head?
I hope why you want to use idr for dynamic device management.
