The problem is that zsmalloc is being built as a module and zcache is
builtin. It seems that because CRYPTO=m, kbuild is forcing zsmalloc
to be built, just not forcing it to be builtin.

The zcache Kconfig has:
bool "Dynamic compression of swap pages and clean pagecache pages"
depends on (CLEANCACHE || FRONTSWAP) && CRYPTO && X86
select ZSMALLOC
select CRYPTO_LZO

Seems to be a nuance of kbuild I didn't know before. If a
"selected by" (sub)condition is met, if any of the conditionals are
built as modules, then the entry can be built as a module.

For example, if zsmalloc is selected by:
...(CLEANCACHE [=y] || FRONTSWAP [=n]) && CRYPTO [=m] && X86 [=y]
then it can be built as a module or builtin.

If zsmalloc is selected by:
...(CLEANCACHE [=y] || FRONTSWAP [=n]) && CRYPTO [=y] && X86 [=y]
then it must be builtin.

One fix is this:

diff --git a/drivers/staging/zcache/Kconfig b/drivers/staging/zcache/Kconfig
index 3ed2c8f..7048e01 100644
--- a/drivers/staging/zcache/Kconfig
+++ b/drivers/staging/zcache/Kconfig
@@ -2,7 +2,7 @@ config ZCACHE
bool "Dynamic compression of swap pages and clean pagecache pages"
# X86 dependency is because zsmalloc uses non-portable pte/tlb
# functions
- depends on (CLEANCACHE || FRONTSWAP) && CRYPTO && X86
+ depends on (CLEANCACHE || FRONTSWAP) && CRYPTO=y && X86
select ZSMALLOC
select CRYPTO_LZO
default n
I think this is the best way since ZCACHE is a bool and CRYPTO is the only
one of the dependencies that is a tristate. This forces both ZSMALLOC and
CRYPTO_LZO to be builtin if ZCACHE is selected.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Seth
