= writeback

With incompressible pages, there is no memory saving with zram.
Instead, with CONFIG_ZRAM_WRITEBACK, zram can write incompressible page
With CONFIG_ZRAM_WRITEBACK, zram can write idle/incompressible page
to backing storage rather than keeping it in memory.
User should set up backing device via /sys/block/zramX/backing_dev
before disksize setting.
To use the feature, admin should set up backing device via

	"echo /dev/sda5 > /sys/block/zramX/backing_dev"

before disksize setting. It supports only partition at this moment.
If admin want to use incompressible page writeback, they could do via

	"echo huge > /sys/block/zramX/write"

To use idle page writeback, first, user need to declare zram pages
as idle.

	"echo all > /sys/block/zramX/idle"

From now on, any pages on zram are idle pages. The idle mark
will be removed until someone request access of the block.
IOW, unless there is access request, those pages are still idle pages.

Admin can request writeback of those idle pages at right timing via

	"echo idle > /sys/block/zramX/writeback"

With the command, zram writeback idle pages from memory to the storage.

If there are lots of write IO with flash device, potentially, it has
flash wearout problem so that admin needs to design write limitation
to guarantee storage health for entire product life.

To overcome the concern, zram supports "writeback_limit" feature.
The "writeback_limit_enable"'s default value is 0 so that it doesn't limit
any writeback. IOW, if admin want to apply writeback budget, he should
enable writeback_limit_enable via

	$ echo 1 > /sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit_enable

Once writeback_limit_enable is set, zram doesn't allow any writeback
until admin set the budget via /sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit.

(If admin doesn't enable writeback_limit_enable, writeback_limit's value
assigned via /sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit is meaninless.)

If admin want to limit writeback as per-day 400M, he could do it
like below.

	$ MB_SHIFT=20
	$ 4K_SHIFT=12
	$ echo $((400<<MB_SHIFT>>4K_SHIFT)) > \
		/sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit.
	$ echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit_enable

If admin want to allow further write again once the bugdet is exausted,
he could do it like below

	$ echo $((400<<MB_SHIFT>>4K_SHIFT)) > \
		/sys/block/zram0/writeback_limit

If admin want to see remaining writeback budget since he set,

	$ cat /sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit

If admin want to disable writeback limit, he could do

	$ echo 0 > /sys/block/zramX/writeback_limit_enable

The writeback_limit count will reset whenever you reset zram(e.g.,
system reboot, echo 1 > /sys/block/zramX/reset) so keeping how many of
writeback happened until you reset the zram to allocate extra writeback
budget in next setting is user's job.

If admin want to measure writeback count in a certain period, he could
know it via /sys/block/zram0/bd_stat's 3rd column.
