| |
Improvement idea by Marcin Jabrzyk.
comp_algorithm_store() silently accepts any supplied algorithm name, because zram performs algorithm availability check later, during the device configuration phase in disksize_store() and emits the following error: "zram: Cannot initialise %s compressing backend"
this error line is somewhat generic and, besides, can indicate a failed attempt to allocate compression backend's working buffers.
add algorithm availability check to comp_algorithm_store():
echo lzz > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
