From 461a8eee6af3b55745be64bea403ed0b743563cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Minchan Kim Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2014 15:29:55 -0700 Subject: zram: report maximum used memory Normally, zram user could get maximum memory usage zram consumed via polling mem_used_total with sysfs in userspace. But it has a critical problem because user can miss peak memory usage during update inverval of polling. For avoiding that, user should poll it with shorter interval(ie, 0.0000000001s) with mlocking to avoid page fault delay when memory pressure is heavy. It would be troublesome. This patch adds new knob "mem_used_max" so user could see the maximum memory usage easily via reading the knob and reset it via "echo 0 > /sys/block/zram0/mem_used_max".
