Slot free notifications are sent only when device is used as a swap device, hence `notify_free' is used only for swap devices. Since f4659d8e620d08 (zram: support REQ_DISCARD) ZRAM handles yet another one free notification (also via zram_free_page() call) -- REQ_DISCARD requests, which are sent by a filesystem, whenever some data blocks are discarded. However, there is no way to know the number of notifications in the latter case. Use `notify_free' to account the number of pages freed by zram_bio_discard() and zram_slot_free_notify(). Depending on usage scenario `notify_free' represents: a) the number of pages freed because of slot free notifications, which is equal to the number of swap_slot_free_notify() calls, so there is no behaviour change b) the number of pages freed because of REQ_DISCARD notifications Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky Acked-by: Minchan Kim Acked-by: Jerome Marchand Cc: Nitin Gupta Cc: Chao Yu Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-zram b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-zram index b13dc99..a6148ea 100644 --- a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-zram +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-block-zram @@ -77,11 +77,14 @@ What: /sys/block/zram/notify_free Date: August 2010 Contact: Nitin Gupta Description: - The notify_free file is read-only and specifies the number of - swap slot free notifications received by this device.
