Subject[PATCH v3 4/4] zram: introduce zram memory tracking
Date
zRam as swap is useful for small memory device. However, swap means
those pages on zram are mostly cold pages due to VM's LRU algorithm.
Especially, once init data for application are touched for launching,
they tend to be not accessed any more and finally swapped out.
zRAM can store such cold pages as compressed form but it's pointless
to keep in memory. Better idea is app developers free them directly
rather than remaining them on heap.

This patch tell us last access time of each block of zram via
"cat /sys/kernel/debug/zram/zram0/block_state".

The output is as follows,
300 75.033841 .wh
301 63.806904 s..
302 63.806919 ..h

First column is zram's block index and 3rh one represents symbol
(s: same page w: written page to backing store h: huge page) of the
block state. Second column represents usec time unit of the block
was last accessed. So above example means the 300th block is accessed
at 75.033851 second and it was huge so it was written to the backing
store.

Admin can leverage this information to catch cold|incompressible pages
of process with *pagemap* once part of heaps are swapped out.

+With CONFIG_ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING, user can know information of the

+First column is zram's block index.
+Second column is access time.
+Third column is state of the block.
+(s: same page
+w: written page to backing store
+h: huge page)
+
+First line of above example says 300th block is accessed at 75.033841sec
+and the block's state is huge so it is written back to the backing
+storage. It's a debugging feature so anyone shouldn't rely on it to work
+properly.
