Subject: what's cooking in zram for 4.2
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2015 09:58:12 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150813005812.GA17958@swordfish> (raw)
Hello Karel,
... planned to write this earlier.
zram will see some user-space visible improvements in 4.2 we'd love
to let you know about -- on-demand device creation/removal.
For that purpose we introduce zram control sysfs class, which has two
sysfs attrs:
- hot_add -- add a new zram device
- hot_remove -- remove a specific (device_id) zram device
-- hot_add sysfs attr is read-only and has only automatic device id
assignment mode. Read operation performed on this attr creates a
new zram device and returns back its device_id (or error (ret < 0)).
Usage example:
# add a new zram device
cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add
2
an example of returning error code (-ENOMEM in this case)
cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add
cat: /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add: Cannot allocate memory
-- hot_remove is write only and requires a valid zram device_id as
its input parameter:
# remove a specific zram device
echo 4 > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove
-ss
