Date: February 2014
Contact: Sergey Senozhatsky <[email protected]>
Description:
The comp_algorithm file is read-write and lets to show
available and selected compression algorithms, change
compression algorithm selection.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/mem_used_max
Date: August 2014
Contact: Minchan Kim <[email protected]>
Description:
The mem_used_max file is write-only and is used to reset
the counter of maximum memory zram have consumed to store
compressed data. For resetting the value, you should write
"0". Otherwise, you could see -EINVAL.
Unit: bytes
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/mem_limit
Date: August 2014
Contact: Minchan Kim <[email protected]>
Description:
The mem_limit file is write-only and specifies the maximum
amount of memory ZRAM can use to store the compressed data.
The limit could be changed in run time and "0" means disable
the limit. No limit is the initial state. Unit: bytes
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/compact
Date: August 2015
Contact: Minchan Kim <[email protected]>
Description:
The compact file is write-only and trigger compaction for
allocator zrm uses. The allocator moves some objects so that
it could free fragment space.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/io_stat
Date: August 2015
Contact: Sergey Senozhatsky <[email protected]>
Description:
The io_stat file is read-only and accumulates device's I/O
statistics not accounted by block layer. For example,
failed_reads, failed_writes, etc. File format is similar to
block layer statistics file format.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/mm_stat
Date: August 2015
Contact: Sergey Senozhatsky <[email protected]>
Description:
The mm_stat file is read-only and represents device's mm
statistics (orig_data_size, compr_data_size, etc.) in a format
similar to block layer statistics file format.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/debug_stat
Date: July 2016
Contact: Sergey Senozhatsky <[email protected]>
Description:
The debug_stat file is read-only and represents various
device's debugging info useful for kernel developers. Its
format is not documented intentionally and may change
anytime without any notice.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/backing_dev
Date: June 2017
Contact: Minchan Kim <[email protected]>
Description:
The backing_dev file is read-write and set up backing
device for zram to write incompressible pages.
For using, user should enable CONFIG_ZRAM_WRITEBACK.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/idle
Date: November 2018
Contact: Minchan Kim <[email protected]>
Description:
idle file is write-only and mark zram slot as idle.
If system has mounted debugfs, user can see which slots
are idle via /sys/kernel/debug/zram/zram<id>/block_state
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/writeback
Date: November 2018
Contact: Minchan Kim <[email protected]>
Description:
The writeback file is write-only and trigger idle and/or
huge page writeback to backing device.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/bd_stat
Date: November 2018
Contact: Minchan Kim <[email protected]>
Description:
The bd_stat file is read-only and represents backing device's
statistics (bd_count, bd_reads, bd_writes) in a format
similar to block layer statistics file format.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/writeback_limit_enable
Date: November 2018
Contact: Minchan Kim <[email protected]>
Description:
The writeback_limit_enable file is read-write and specifies
eanbe of writeback_limit feature. "1" means eable the feature.
No limit "0" is the initial state.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/writeback_limit
Date: November 2018
Contact: Minchan Kim <[email protected]>
Description:
The writeback_limit file is read-write and specifies the maximum
amount of writeback ZRAM can do. The limit could be changed
in run time.
