Currently zram will adjust its fops to a version which does not contain rw_page when a backing device has been assigned. This is done to prevent upper layers from assuming a synchronous operation when a page may have been written back. This forces every operation through bio which has overhead associated with bio_alloc/frees. The code can be simplified to always expose an rw_page method and only in the rare event that a page is written back we instead will return -EOPNOTSUPP forcing the upper layer to fallback to bio.

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.
