[PATCHv3 4/7] zram: describe device attrs in documentation

From: Sergey Senozhatsky
Date: Fri Mar 13 2015 - 06:29:30 EST


Briefly describe exported device stat attrs in zram documentation.
We will eventually get rid of per-stat sysfs nodes and, thus,
clean up Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-zram file, which is
the only source of information about device sysfs nodes.

Add `num_migrated' description, since there is no independent
`num_migrated' sysfs node (and no corresponding sysfs-block-zram
entry), it will be exported via zram<id>/mm_stat file.

At this point we can provide minimal description, because
sysfs-block-zram still contains detailed information.

+failed_writes RO the number of failed writes
+invalid_io RO the number of non-page-size-aligned I/O requests
+max_comp_streams RW the number of possible concurrent compress operations
+comp_algorithm RW show and change the compression algorithm
+notify_free RO the number of notifications to free pages (either
+ slot free notifications or REQ_DISCARD requests)
+zero_pages RO the number of zero filled pages written to this disk
+orig_data_size RO uncompressed size of data stored in this disk
+compr_data_size RO compressed size of data stored in this disk
+mem_used_total RO the amount of memory allocated for this disk
+mem_used_max RW the maximum amount memory zram have consumed to
+ store compressed data
+mem_limit RW the maximum amount of memory ZRAM can use to store
+ the compressed data
