What: /sys/block/zram<id>/disksize
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
Description:
The disksize file is read-write and specifies the disk size
which represents the limit on the *uncompressed* worth of data
that can be stored in this disk.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/initstate
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
Description:
The disksize file is read-only and shows the initialization
state of the device.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/reset
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
Description:
The disksize file is write-only and allows resetting the
device. The reset operation frees all the memory assocaited
with this device.
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/num_reads
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
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<id>/num_writes
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
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<id>/invalid_io
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
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<id>/notify_free
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
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<id>/discard
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
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<id>/zero_pages
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
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<id>/orig_data_size
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
Description:
The orig_data_size file is read-only and specifies uncompressed
size of data stored in this disk. This excludes zero-filled
pages (zero_pages) since no memory is allocated for them.
Unit: bytes
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/compr_data_size
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
Description:
The compr_data_size file is read-only and specifies compressed
size of data stored in this disk. So, compression ratio can be
calculated using orig_data_size and this statistic.
Unit: bytes
What: /sys/block/zram<id>/mem_used_total
Date: August 2010
Contact: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org>
Description:
The mem_used_total file is read-only and specifies the amount
of memory, including allocator fragmentation and metadata
overhead, allocated for this disk. So, allocator space
efficiency can be calculated using compr_data_size and this
statistic.
Unit: bytes
