Posted by Chris Li 3 months, 1 week ago

We have been collaborating on a systematic effort to clean up and improve
the Linux swap system, and might as well take responsibility for it.

Chris has comprehensive understanding of kernel code and possesses
extraordinary insights into problems which enable him to propose
some highly innovative and visionary ideas. And Chris is very willing
to share his perspectives and iedas rather than hide them for personal
credits on patch posting.

Kairui is highly proficient in kernel knowledge and system operations,
and he handles complex problems with great patience and resilience, E.g
the swap table patches posting, and performance testing in different
scenarios. Moreover, he is always quick to respond to people's feedback
and address any issues related to swap.

Thumbs up to both of them, and ACK to their maintainership on swap.

This is very welcome! Thanks for all your efforts in improving swap across both
architectures and performance.

Chris has been very helpful and insightful, I'm glad we're working
together to improve SWAP.
