The reset operation frees all the memory assocaited + with this device. + +What: /sys/block/zram/num_reads +Date: August 2010 +Contact: Nitin Gupta +Description: + The num_reads file is read-only and specifies the number of + reads (failed or successful) done on this device. + +What: /sys/block/zram/num_writes +Date: August 2010 +Contact: Nitin Gupta +Description: + The num_writes file is read-only and specifies the number of + writes (failed or successful) done on this device. + +What: /sys/block/zram/invalid_io +Date: August 2010 +Contact: Nitin Gupta +Description: + The invalid_io file is read-only and specifies the number of + non-page-size-aligned I/O requests issued to this device. + +What: /sys/block/zram/notify_free +Date: August 2010 +Contact: Nitin Gupta +Description: + The notify_free file is read-only and specifies the number of + swap slot free notifications received by this device. These + notifications are send to a swap block device when a swap slot + is freed. This statistic is applicable only when this disk is + being used as a swap disk. + +What: /sys/block/zram/discard +Date: August 2010 +Contact: Nitin Gupta +Description: + The discard file is read-only and specifies the number of + discard requests received by this device. These requests + provide information to block device regarding blocks which are + no longer used by filesystem. + +What: /sys/block/zram/zero_pages +Date: August 2010 +Contact: Nitin Gupta +Description: + The zero_pages file is read-only and specifies number of zero + filled pages written to this disk. No memory is allocated for + such pages. + +What: /sys/block/zram/orig_data_size +Date: August 2010 +Contact: Nitin Gupta +Description: + The orig_data_size file is read-only and specifies uncompressed + size of data stored in this disk.
