Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm: remove code to handle same filled pages
Date: Thu, 30 May 2024 11:19:08 +0100

With an earlier commit to handle zero-filled pages in swap directly,
and with only 1% of the same-filled pages being non-zero, zswap no
longer needs to handle same-filled pages and can just work on compressed
pages.
