config ZRAM
tristate "Compressed RAM block device support"
depends on BLOCK && SYSFS && ZSMALLOC && CRYPTO
select CRYPTO_LZO
default n
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/blockdev/zram.txt for more information.
config ZRAM_DEDUP
bool "Deduplication support for ZRAM data"
depends on ZRAM
select XXHASH
default n
help
Deduplicate ZRAM data to reduce amount of memory consumption.
Advantage largely depends on the workload. In some cases, this
option reduces memory usage to the half. However, if there is no
duplicated data, the amount of memory consumption would be
increased due to additional metadata usage. And, there is
computation time trade-off. Please check the benefit before
enabling this option. Experiment shows the positive effect when
the zram is used as blockdev and is used to store build output.
config ZRAM_WRITEBACK
bool "Write back incompressible or idle page to backing device"
depends on ZRAM
default n
help
With incompressible page, there is no memory saving to keep it
in memory. Instead, write it out to backing device.
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.
See Documentation/blockdev/zram.txt for more information.
config ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING
bool "Track zRam block status"
depends on ZRAM && DEBUG_FS
help
With this feature, admin can track the state of allocated blocks
of zRAM. Admin could see the information via
/sys/kernel/debug/zram/zramX/block_state.
See Documentation/blockdev/zram.txt for more information.
config ZRAM_LRU_WRITEBACK
bool
depends on ZRAM_WRITEBACK
default n
help
This feature supports zram lru-based writeback (SQZR).
config ZRAM_LRU_WRITEBACK_LIMIT
int "Limit zram lru writeback"
default 1024
