- default n
- help
- Zcache doubles RAM efficiency while providing a significant
- performance boosts on many workloads. Zcache uses
- compression and an in-kernel implementation of transcendent
- memory to store clean page cache pages and swap in RAM,
- providing a noticeable reduction in disk I/O.

- This is used to provide an debugfs directory with counters of

- default n
- help
- RAMster allows RAM on other machines in a cluster to be utilized
- dynamically and symmetrically instead of swapping to a local swap
- disk, thus improving performance on memory-constrained workloads
- while minimizing total RAM across the cluster. RAMster, like
- zcache2, compresses swap pages into local RAM, but then remotifies
- the compressed pages to another node in the RAMster cluster.

-# Depends on not-yet-upstreamed mm patches to export end_swap_bio_write and

-config ZCACHE_WRITEBACK
- bool "Allow compressed swap pages to be writtenback to swap disk"
- depends on ZCACHE=y && BROKEN
- default n
- help
- Zcache caches compressed swap pages (and other data) in RAM which
- often improves performance by avoiding I/O's due to swapping.
- In some workloads with very long-lived large processes, it can
- instead reduce performance. Writeback decompresses zcache-compressed
- pages (in LRU order) when under memory pressure and writes them to
- the backing swap disk to ameliorate this problem. Policy driving
- writeback is still under development.
