| help |
| Creates virtual block devices called /dev/zramX (X = 0, 1, ...). |
| Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored in memory |
| itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides |
| good amounts of memory savings. |
| |
| It has several use cases, for example: /tmp storage, use as swap |
| disks and maybe many more. |

| See Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/zram.rst for more information. |

| bool "Write back incompressible or idle page to backing device" |

| help |
| This lets zram entries (incompressible or idle pages) be written |
| back to a backing device, helping save memory. |
| For this feature, admin should set up backing device via |
| /sys/block/zramX/backing_dev. |
| |
| With /sys/block/zramX/{idle,writeback}, application could ask |
| idle page's writeback to the backing device to save in memory. |

| This will enable multi-compression streams, so that ZRAM can |
| re-compress pages using a potentially slower but more effective |
| compression algorithm. Note, that IDLE page recompression |
| requires ZRAM_TRACK_ENTRY_ACTIME. |
