+config ZRAM
+ tristate "Compressed RAM block device support"
+ depends on BLOCK && SYSFS && ZSMALLOC && CRYPTO
+ select CRYPTO_LZO
+ help
+ Creates virtual block devices called /dev/zramX (X = 0, 1, ...).
+ Pages written to these disks are compressed and stored in memory
+ itself. These disks allow very fast I/O and compression provides
+ good amounts of memory savings.
+
+ It has several use cases, for example: /tmp storage, use as swap
+ disks and maybe many more.
+
+ See Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/zram.rst for more information.
+
+config ZRAM_WRITEBACK
+ bool "Write back incompressible or idle page to backing device"
+ depends on ZRAM
+ help
+ With incompressible page, there is no memory saving to keep it
+ in memory. Instead, write it out to backing device.
+ For this feature, admin should set up backing device via
+ /sys/block/zramX/backing_dev.
+
+ With /sys/block/zramX/{idle,writeback}, application could ask
+ idle page's writeback to the backing device to save in memory.
+
+ See Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/zram.rst for more information.
+
+config ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING
+ bool "Track zRam block status"
+ depends on ZRAM && DEBUG_FS
+ help
+ With this feature, admin can track the state of allocated blocks
+ of zRAM. Admin could see the information via
+ /sys/kernel/debug/zram/zramX/block_state.
+
+ See Documentation/admin-guide/blockdev/zram.rst for more information.
