zram: add algo parameter support to zram_recompress()
Recompression iterates through all the registered secondary compression algorithms in order of their priorities so that we have higher chances of finding the algorithm that compresses a particular page. This, however, may not always be best approach and sometimes we may want to limit recompression to only one particular algorithm. For instance, when a higher priority algorithm uses too much power and device has a relatively low battery level we may want to limit recompression to use only a lower priority algorithm, which uses less power. Introduce algo= parameter support to recompression sysfs knob so that user-sapce can request recompression with particular algorithm only: echo "type=idle algo=zstd" > /sys/block/zramX/recompress Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20221109115047.2921851-11-senozhatsky@chromium.orgSigned-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <senozhatsky@chromium.org> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Alexey Romanov <avromanov@sberdevices.ru> Cc: Nhat Pham <nphamcs@gmail.com> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Cc: Suleiman Souhlal <suleiman@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
