| |
zram_add requires valid device_id to be provided, that can be a bit inconvenient. Change zram_add() to return negative value upon new device creation failure, and device_id (>= 0) value otherwise.
This prepares zram_add to perform automatic device_id assignment. New device_id will be returned back to user-space (so user can reference that device as /dev/zramX).
