[PATCHv9 6/7] zram: make compression algorithm selection possible
From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Fri Feb 28 2014 - 12:56:30 EST
Add and document `comp_algorithm' device attribute. This attribute
allows to show supported compression and currently selected
compression algorithms:
cat /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm
[lzo] lz4
and change selected compression algorithm:
echo lzo > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm

The value can be either in bytes or you can use mem suffixes.
