Recompression iterates through all the registered secondary compression algorithms in order of their priorities so that we have higher chances of finding the algorithm that compresses a particular page. This, however, may not always be best approach and sometimes we may want to limit recompression to only one particular algorithm. For instance, when a higher priority algorithm uses too much power and device has a relatively low battery level we may want to limit recompression to use only a lower priority algorithm, which uses less power. Introduce algo= parameter support to recompression sysfs knob so that user-sapce can request recompression with particular algorithm only: echo "type=idle algo=zstd" > /sys/block/zramX/recompress Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221109115047.2921851-11-senozhatsky@chromium.org Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@chromium.org> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Alexey Romanov <avromanov@sberdevices.ru> Cc: Nhat Pham <nphamcs@gmail.com> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Cc: Suleiman Souhlal <suleiman@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
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.
