2021-11-06zram: introduce an aged idle interfaceBrian Geffon
This change introduces an aged idle interface to the existing idle sysfs file for zram. When CONFIG_ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING is enabled the idle file now also accepts an integer argument. This integer is the age (in seconds) of pages to mark as idle. The idle file still supports 'all' as it always has. This new approach allows for much more control over which pages get marked as idle.

2020-12-15zram: add stat to gather incompressible pages since zram set upMinchan Kim
Currently, zram supports the stat via /sys/block/zram/mm_stat to represent how many of incompressible pages are stored at the moment but it couldn't show how many times incompressible pages were wrote down since zram set up. It's also good indication to see how zram is effective in the system.

2020-12-15zram: support page writebackMinchan Kim
There is demand to writeback specific process pages to backing store instead of all idles pages in the system due to storage wear out concerns and to launching latency of apps which are most of the time idle but are critical for resume latency. This patch extends the writeback knob to support a specific page writeback.
