Add Documentation/ABI/obsolete/sysfs-block-zram file and list obsolete and deprecated attributes there. The patch also adds additional information to zram documentation and describes the basic strategy: - the existing RW nodes will be downgraded to WO nodes (in 4.11) - deprecated RO sysfs nodes will eventually be removed (in 4.11) Users will be additionally notified about deprecated attr usage by pr_warn_once() (added to every deprecated attr _show()), as suggested by Minchan Kim. User space is advised to use zram<id>/stat, zram<id>/io_stat and zram<id>/mm_stat files.

|
|
Description:
|
|
The notify_free file is read-only. Depending on device usage
|
|
scenario it may account a) the number of pages freed because
|
|
of swap slot free notifications or b) the number of pages freed
|
|
because of REQ_DISCARD requests sent by bio. The former ones
|
|
are sent to a swap block device when a swap slot is freed, which
|
|
implies that this disk is being used as a swap disk. The latter
|
|
ones are sent by filesystem mounted with discard option,
|
|
whenever some data blocks are getting discarded.

|
Now accessible via zram<id>/io_stat node.

Description:

of maximum memory zram have consumed to store compressed data.
|
|
For resetting the value, you should write "0". Otherwise,
|
|
you could see -EINVAL.
