zram: Compressed RAM based block devices ---------------------------------------- * Introduction The zram module creates RAM based block devices named /dev/zram ( = 0, 1, ...). Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored in memory itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides good amounts of memory savings. Some of the usecases include /tmp storage, use as swap disks, various caches under /var and maybe many more :) Statistics for individual zram devices are exported through sysfs nodes at /sys/block/zram/ Kconfig required: CONFIG_ZRAM=y CONFIG_CRYPTO_LZ4=y CONFIG_ZPOOL=y CONFIG_ZSMALLOC=y ZRAM Testcases -------------- zram_lib.sh: create library with initialization/cleanup functions zram.sh: For sanity check of CONFIG_ZRAM and to run zram01 and zram02 Two functional tests: zram01 and zram02: zram01.sh: creates general purpose ram disks with ext4 filesystems zram02.sh: creates block device for swap Commands required for testing: - bc - dd - free - awk - mkswap - swapon - swapoff - mkfs/ mkfs.ext4 For more information please refer: kernel-source-tree/Documentation/blockdev/zram.txt -cleanup'>emaclite-cleanup net-next plumbingsTobias Klauser
