We recently encountered a bug that makes all zswap store attempt fail. Specifically, after: "141fdeececb3 mm/zswap: delay the initialization of zswap" if we build a kernel with zswap disabled by default, then enabled after the swapfile is set up, the zswap tree will not be initialized. As a result, all zswap store calls will be short-circuited. We have to perform another swapon to get zswap working properly again. Fortunately, this issue has since been fixed by the patch that kills frontswap: "42c06a0e8ebe mm: kill frontswap" which performs zswap_swapon() unconditionally, i.e always initializing the zswap tree. This test add a sanity check that ensure zswap storing works as intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
